AJuff Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 Since OH bought me a trollbead bracelet and beads for our 20th anniversary I have been hooked on buying more charms. As they have built up I have decided to buy a trollbeads jewellery box. When searching online I came across a lovely white box with rods for $75 (£46.57) in a USA store. It's not available in the UK until April at a cost of £75 ($119.18). Is our uk tax so high or do America get cheaper imports?????? When I went on to look at beads, everything is significantly cheaper than here in the UK. I think I'll send a shopping list to my cousin who's coming over in May!!!

snowberry Posted February 25, 2012 Share Posted February 25, 2012 Everything seems to be so much cheaper over there. Especially gadgets or any kind of high value goods Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yvonne Posted February 25, 2012 Share Posted February 25, 2012 I think it's a combination of taxes, shipping costs and sales volumes - lots of stuff seems to be cheaper over there - boo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TAJ Posted February 25, 2012 Share Posted February 25, 2012 I bought Cumberland artist pencils - half the price from US - even with customers, still cheaper. Made in the UK, sent to US, purchased by me and sent back to the UK!! Madness. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
