Russians round up sanctions – "couriers" are clicking home luxury goods from countries in the West
Russians continue to order home luxury goods from countries in the West, despite EU sanctions and the fact that Russian bank cards do not work, writes SVT Nyheter.
Since the war broke out, Russian banks have been blocked from the international payment network Swift, while sanctions have been imposed on several luxury goods, including more expensive shoes, clothes and bags. But that has not stopped Russian consumers who have come up with an ingenious solution, namely using personal shoppers who buy the goods and then send them to Russia.
The shopping is carried out by so-called couriers, but also by companies such as the Russian logistics giant CDEK. The company's marketplace includes Swedish brands, including children's clothing from Polarn O. Pyret, paintings from Ikea and hair extensions from Rapunzel of Sweden.
