Here we go again.... US price = USD Add 30USD shipping. Then divide by an exchange rate. Let's call it 1GBP:1.7USD. Add VAT @ 17.5%. Add the VAT collection fee charged by the courier. It's about a tenner. Bingo. Same price.
No one in the UK is being shafted. It's deliberately priced at parity with landed cost with the US. Commercial reality of: - import/export - freight - VAT Lee.

Whats up with UK prices? I know some things are a bit cheaper in the states, especially US made products, but the differnce is massive with the SB3. The cheapest (wireless) i can find in the UK is £225, and thats from a good suplier (Scan) who are normally very reasonable. But the RRP price in the states (on the Slim Devices website) is £175. Whats the deal with this? That a huge increase. Can anyone offical at Slim Devices explain this, or are we being shafted here in the UK? I will end up buying one anyway though. They are just so damn good (Not that i can find one anywhere in stock anyway). -- dangerous_dom ------------------------------------------------------------------------ dangerous_dom's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1763 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=18854 _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list Discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
