Okay I am now officially desperate enough to order the flipping ball & surfboard set from ebay (yep, it's a very sad day lol); prices seem to work out a bit cheaper if ordering from the US but will I be charged import tax or something if I order them from the US? really hope someone here can help. Thanks!

If the cost is £18.00 or more then u may get charged if you're unlucky, as many things get straight through. There is then VAT to pay + about a £8 handling fee

If they would mark it as a gift u have no problems although this is technically fraud on their part and many wont do it.

I got a reply tonight from Sir Terry Leahy's staff re my e mail about the balls etc, here's my e mail and response

I would just like to say how disgusted I am that Tesco are taking advantage of the desperate parents need to get hold of the go go hamster things for christmas.
I have noticed that Tesco are charging for the Go Go hamster ball £20 when the RRP as stated by Character (the importers/wholesalers) is £9.99 and the Skateboard is on sale at your store for £19.97 when the RRP is £9.97.
This 100% markup is in my opinion excessive.
None of the other shops like Asda, Sainsbury's, Toys R Us etc have increased their prices as demand is high. In fact boots even have the hamster things included in their 3 for 2.

I will be shopping more often at other supermarkets which do not take advantage of parents need to make their children happy at Christmas.

Reply tonight

Further to my previous email, I was concerned to learn that the price of a Go Go Hamster product in our stores was double the Recommended Retail Price, and that of other retailers. I can appreciate why you are unhappy by this and would like to offer my sincere apologies. We would also like to offer our assurances that it is not our policy to charge over the Recommended Retail Price for any toys in our stores.

To ensure that the points raised in your email were dealt with appropriately, the details of your complaint were brought to the attention of our Buying Manager responsible for the product. She said that she was already aware of the issue and had it changed immediately it was brought to her attention. She has also asked me to pass on her apologies for the disappointment this situation has caused you, which was the result of a human error.

Thank you for bringing this matter to our attention and please accept my apologies once again for this oversight.

Kind Regards *******
Customer Service Executive

So that means anybody listing at high prices on e bay are doing it in error, not to make more money :rotfl::rotfl:

Well done on this from Tesco - you want to have a go at Sainsburys now? someone posted earlier they were selling way over rrp for the hamster stuff, cant remember what items they were....
