Hello, I live in Denmark, and it seems that all the trusted suppliers only have free shipping inside the us. Where is a reliable source for europeans? Preferably close with Denmark. Where in europe is the cheapest place to get Ashwagandha from?

We were in negotiations with people in the Netherlands to set one up. However, as we got further along in the process, the taxes and importation fees we were estimating did not make sense. It would have added 40-50% to our prices, due to the way things are setup with EU importation in the Netherlands. So we tabled that idea for now.
We are currently in discussions with someone in Poland, who might setup an ND distributor. The taxes and importation fees/regulations are a lot easier to work with there. Western Europe is just not friendly to international business. The taxes just kill everything. Can't compete in a global market with ridiculously high local taxes.
We are also in discussions with UPS, DHL, and FedEx right now, trying to negotiate better shipping rates to the EU. If we can get the shipping rates down, and the speed fast, then there is no reason to have a local EU presence.
