The difference a pound makes....
« on: September 04, 2007, 12:35:53 pm »
...I am staggered!  :o
 
We paid (converted from our UK £'s to your US $) $14,782.00 for our Sundance Chelsee!  :-/ :o :-/

...looking at the prices you pay across the pond for hot tubs, it is just incredible!

I need to relocate!!  8-)

Nosh

PS - please do NOT tell me what a Chelsee cost over there!!  >:(

I hope the average income is well into the 6 figures there!  ;)

When I worked for Hydropool, we shipped hundreds of containers there and for a spa we sold for $10,000 Canadian locally, our European dealers were getting upwards of $17,000 Canadian there for it.

We had one of our best dealers there request 2 - H2 Hummers be sent on his next shippment (one for him and one for his wife) and he wrote a cheque for them. His business did quite well I think...  ;) The profit margins are NUTS for the European dealers!!  :o

pounds sterling, Canadian dollars... doesn't anyone here use MONEY?? :D

I know it costs a lot to ship a tub to England, but do you Brits have to pay VAT on them too?
