FFS try to read before posting. Did you read the link I posted where AMT claimed:
Customers in the EU will not have to pay VAT or Import taxes
As for your personal situation, you posted this hypothetical
So if I'm buying Bitmine.ch stuff from the U.S.A, who do I expect to trust?!
I assumed that meant you where ordering from the USA. Obviously if you are in the EU I see no reason to buy bitmine gear from AMT.
