What's the deal with "item's currently unavailable in your location"?

After the EU 3EUR tax was introduced a lot of the items that I previously purchased before July are currently shown as "item's currently unavailable in your location" and I cannot find AliExpress stores that are selling them. Any idea why's that? Is it somehow related to the new tax or it's just bad luck with items that have gone out of stock?

Duties per category

AliExpress should really implement adding duties per category. This is just outrageous! Such parts are nowhere to be found in EU, AliExpress is the only source for them. Coins and coupons are not an option for such cheap items. Even if I combine my order with someone else and we buy only items under the same category it won't work as they add the duties to every item.

The 3eur tax might actually increase the volume of parcels

I noticed today, that AliExpress Choice items now include the 3 eur tax. I had few Choice items in my cart and today I noticed that each one of them costs +3eur and there's a notice saying that Price includes Duties and VAT. I also noticed that if you increase the number of items the price per item goes down. For people like me who order items that are difficult to be found elsewhere and who often order 2-3 and more items from the same type the solution is just to order more to decrease the tax increase per item. Everyone knows that sometimes Choice items even if ordered together might be split into several packages. So for me the tax will increase the number of items I order which will increase the number of packages I'm receiving. There are quite a lot of people like me who doesn't order pointless stuff and who will potentially do the same. Good luck EU with your shitty explanation on why you impose this pointless "solution"!

Anyone running "classics"?

I feel like I'm the only one who doesn't like the new plastic shiny small semi-disposable stuff people call vapes nowadays. They look like baby toys to me! Are there people still enjoying some classics?
