choppish Posted May 17, 2008 Share Posted May 17, 2008 there seems to be a large disparity between the US site and the uk site. the US site charges 495USD for the eglu all in and the UK charges £395. The US price is about £247 in UK pounds. seems we in the uk are paying a lot more than our cousins across the pond! just an observation...!

TAJ Posted May 17, 2008 Share Posted May 17, 2008 Is that US price with hens? UK price is £360, which includes £20 delivery, without hens & feed. Tracy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted May 17, 2008 Share Posted May 17, 2008 Things are always dearer here. Maybe we should order over there and then import them back. It might be cheaper! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WitchHazel Posted May 17, 2008 Share Posted May 17, 2008 When doing comparisons, please don't forget that the exchange rate is very variable, and just happens to be in our purchasing favour at the moment. I would also expect the price to be VAT free for export, saving a further 17.5% I wonder if the people importing into the US also have to pay the US form of excise duty/import tax?

TAJ Posted May 17, 2008 Share Posted May 17, 2008 I just looked at the US site $495 is without chickens or delivery - basic delivery is $170 in US = $665 without hens or feed. So that makes it only slightly cheaper than UK. Tracy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
