Default Scandix shipping costs risen very sharply

A salutary note for everyone - Scandex shipping charges have gone through the roof! Instead of the original standard 22 Euro shipping charge to EU countries on the order confirmation I had for an item ordered on 22nd December (before the 31st Brexit transition deadline), it increased to 60 Euro when it was shipped on 13th January. This appears to be as we are now non-EU for goods trade and there has to be a shedload of administrative documentation and customs declarations!! Of course, Scandix could be cashing in a bit but it does seem that DHL's charges to them have shot up
This makes Scandix (and potentially other European parts sources such as GCP) very expensive, particularly for small orders.
