Anyone bought online from Dubai?
I'm in the market for a top-range steam cleaner, and the price I've got from the Karcher people here is some $1200.
Seemed a bit on the high side for a souped-up kettle, so I Googled it and found the same thing online in the UK for £234 inc VAT.
Then I saw it at much better price online from Dubai. Anyone bought from this part of the world and have any advice on purchase and Oz customs charges?
FWIW although SOME Oz white goods are similarly priced to the UK, others are ridiculously expensive - in the above case more than double. I can see some extra costs because of the transport and low customer base - but THAT??
