I can not find such shielded cable even if i needed it to save my life!

In this day and age it cannot be shipped to you? Perhaps I underestimate the remoteness of your location.

It can, but it (or should i say: they) do not ship it. I am in Kosovo, it is bloody Europe, but we are left out of everything, and none of that is Europe's fault, it is solely my governments fault! We have plenty of Trumps running our country, so i know how it feels for most of Americans.

One Trump is more than enough.

Nov 7th 2016 "The election is rigged."
Nov 8th 2016 "The election was fair."
Nov 3rd 2020 "If I lose the election it is rigged, if I win it is fine."

I digress.

From my view of an outsider looking in, Trumps presidency has been hilarious. Some of the crap that comes out of his mouth has been gold! I wish our prime minister was as entertaining.

Still wish he had of built his wall though, and made Mexico pay for it!

"I would build a great wall, and nobody builds walls better than me, believe me, and I’ll build them very inexpensively. I will build a great great wall on our southern border and I’ll have Mexico pay for that wall.

I could go on, but his thugs will hunt me down.

Who is they in this case? The actual freight carriers or is it getting blocked at customs on one side?

They in this case is the sellers from other countries, no Kosovo listed on their websites, amazon will display in bold red that the item will not ship to Kosovo, ebay has sellers that do and that do not ship here, some of the ebay ones that did ship here when i reorder they do not ship any more. It is a land field out there !
Freight carriers do not care as long as they get paid, and customs will cause trouble only on our side.
Maybe this helps better understand the issue, the only source of income for this country is the customs so they are relentless and extremely unpleasant to deal with and will do everything to rip people off, the small fishes, the big ones they can not touch as they all have ties to the government. I would say it is corruption, but 80% or European countries are even more corrupt, save for the Vikings and the Dutch/Germans.
I do not care much anyway, i have found ways of dealing with it, so i order stuff costing under 25 Euro on my name and get them delivered to my door, and order more expensive stuff through friends who import a lot of stuff at once, that way i pay the normal 10% customs and 19% tax plus shipping. The only bad part is that i can consistently order stuff only from Turkey, i do not like ordering stuff from there. From other countries it is a hit-and-miss game, but it works, so i am ok with it.

Trump is a prime example of a joke gone to far.
I blame John Oliver and the Simpsons for that !

That is an excellent explanation. Thanks for sharing!

Sorry you have those predicaments in your country. I wish I could help out.

Overnight, I got a message from my mate in Texas.

Oh can you make up the spare bedroom for us? My country has lost its mind

The funny thing was we had a new bed delivered at 6:45am this morning so I am not sure if I should take the old one to the dump or not now!
