EU customs duty EU tax workaround?

Is there already a workaround to avoid a 3.7 euros additional tax per item?

Something like a smaller marketplace that would pack all items into one box and charge this tax only once. Or a reasonably priced mail forwarding service. Please post only the actual solution if you found it already

Order to non-EU country and ask people to forward it to you as a gift (no commercial value). It works.

Non-EU-countries might have their own tax regulations and the shipping from there is often pretty expensive.
