I would like to buy the FEZ Ultimate Kit. When I look at the price, it’s 150$. If a convert this price to Euros (because I live in France), the price is about 103.2 (using a exact currency converter).
But, when I try to find this kit in Europe, is always higher than 130€ (watterot seems to be one of the cheapest resaler).
Could you explain to me why there is a “so” important difference between “real” price and price done in europe ?
(I could understand a difference of 10/15€ due to shipping cost between GHI and europe, but 30€ seems quite a lot (almost 30% of the price).
Maybe you should factor in taxes, import duty and brokerage that the distributor has paid to get the products from GHI to France.
Then there is an addition of “cost of doing business”. The distributor does not order in the products just in time for you order. They have to invest money in the inventory , then there is administrative costs (rent, phone, email, website etc.)
A portion of these costs get into the price structure.
This is a good question to the distributor you have in your country, right? We do not know what the price include and what duties and taxes your country charges for import.
sodit welcome to the club
I don’t know if distributors get this kits for price which are on US shops. I think they get it cheaper then add VAT, import customs and % to earn some money…
I think that http://informatix.miloush.net/microframework/ have better prices than watterot for example ChipworkX Development System is cca. 70€ cheaper.
seems to me that Miloush is able to offer best price in Europe.
Even if I understand that VAT has to be included within the price, sometime, it seems that the
% of the resaler is not the same depending on the product.
This is not really suprising but, sometimes, it’s just that it looks quite “high” considering the former
price displayed on the GHI Site.
Anyway, guess Miloush will be the one
Anyone has already shipped from Miloush ? Happy return or got some troubles ?
sodit did you contact Miloush? Did you get any reply from him?
I would like buy ChipworkX Development System from him but I didn’t get any reply from him…
