I was looking at buying a new bike when I was in the UK. I asked the cycle shop if they could ship to Spain, and they explained that they were unable to send certain bikes to Spain because the price of them was higher in Spain, and therefore the manufacturer stops them to ensure they get more for their bikes here. Whatever happened to the EU :lol: |

I don't think that the EU we voted on in the 1974 referendum ever was or even intended! |
Re: Rip Off Ikea
I had a run in with Ikea at Malaga
I ordered some furniture and was told that they could deliver to my home in the next few days . I duly paid for the furniture and delivery charge, only to be told that the delivery people were in fact not connected with IKEA. They said that they could not deliver to my area for about 3 weeks. which was no good as I would end up back in the UK by that time. I eventually had to hire a van and deliver it myself than return to the store to pick up my car! Plus have an argument to get my delivery charges back. |

I remember 6 years ago, you could buy energy saving bulbs in Spain for less than two quid, when they were 10 in the uk.
These things come and go. |

I know a place ;):)
Theres already a queue there at seven every morning. Amazing how car prices have changed around as well. A few years back new ones were only about two thirds the price of the UK, now they're more expensive. |

Possibly due to fall in the value of Sterling!!
For instance new cars brought into the UK are surely costing many more pounds sterling, than when the pound was much stronger. |

I bet, if you looked at that same dishwasher in the Australian Ikea brochure, you would have have a bloody heart attack. |

Your dishwasher or cooker may be more expensive here...but how much less is your council tax, heating,water,petrol, wine and beer to name but a few? |

I can buy a Bosch, Whirlpool, Hoover for more or less the same price at Media Markt than an unknown make in Ikea where I would have thought it would be cheaper. |
