I wish it was different. I would agree that in many cases, products are more expensive in Europe. Many arguments as to why, expensive distribution channels, higher employment costs, the list goes on and on. For the savvy European buyer, most of this can be circumvented by buying from the US over the net. Back in the days of Slim you could buy from their US site, and ship to Europe. Logitech have barred European destinations from Slim on-line store and Europeans are now at the mercy of a very flaky Logitech European distribution system and sigificantly higher prices. To give a couple of examples, if I wish to buy any Slim accessories I have to email customer service first because I cant get them off the Slim site, and when the Boom was launched (in spite of Boom's being 'stacked up in the backroom in mountain view') we had to wait about a month while Booms filtered their way through a distribution channel that was clearly more suited to wireless mice.
So the service has gone down, and prices have gone up. We do have better beer however. -- Andy8421 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Andy8421's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=16846 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=61151 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
