They scammed me out of 60 euros on a 150 euro order (calculating shipping into final cost to calculate customs, something that should be illegal) I hope they go into destitution.

Or even better, the CEO should be (redacted) and the company should be expropriated by the workers

It might vary by country, but in Germany this is how it works, customs fees are paid on the whole value including shipping costs. They are merely forwarding the money paid to customs, so they definitely weren't scamming you.

I know but I feel it should be illegal, there are many things that cost up to 100€ to transport, plus I feel like they slapped some fees on top, because (after paying vat) I dont think customs is almost 70€ on a 150€ product, half of the price basically
