EUR 2.99/kg.
There’s no way shipping 14kg from Germany to Slovakia costs almost EUR 48.
Actually, to nearby countries it would even be free, or at least at static price.
I made a map based on their info, though only for explicitly mentioned countries.
(this one is on Catbox as Lemmy doesn’t let me upload SVG)
If I had known this, I would have taken more of them when I was in Bratislava, and nearest Amazon Locker in Austria was just walking distance away.
I can’t even find any similar licorice sweets in Slovakia.
Though I wouldn’t really call these “salty” either. I guess it makes sense, these only have 1.8% of ammonium chloride.
Meanwhile, if Wikipedia can be trusted:
In Sweden, for example, the most popular types of salty liquorice contain an average of 7% of ammonium chloride. In 2012, there was a European Union proposal to limit the amount to 0.3%, which was met with wide opposition.

So yeah, absolutely on the low end.
Look for “Katjes Salzige Heringe” and not at Amazon. There are for sure other shops who send those to Slovakia without insane shipping costs (and also without providing with Bezos with even more money, which is just a added benefit!).
I tried, but unfortunately to no avail.
I can only find smaller packs, or shops only shipping to Germany.
I found one that also ships to Slovakia, but when I put it into cart it calculated the shipping at EUR 45.
Edit: The small packs of cat paws (no salt, but more licorice) are even more expensive where I can find them (they’re also available in 700g packs on Amazon).
Sounds like it’s time for a road trip. If not Slovakia, are they available anywhere in Austria, Czechia, or Poland?
I used to buy them on Amazon delivered to locker in Austria. Though they could also be delivered to InPost box in Poland.
Back then I was in Bratislava, so it was just walking distance from last bus stop to Kittsee.
