what I am saying is the bottom line what you pay........

40% dream on or maybe you meant 300ish% follow the links I posted, look at the same shower with the body jets.

UK delivered price £676.02

France(and the whole of Europe ) delivered price £194.

so I can purchase nearly 3, sets!

this is the price you would get them for...if that is not far different????

I am not directing this at anyone, just hope to make people more aware of this, I hope something is done

all the best every one

Isaw this on a tv programmes a while ago.

A couple were renovating houses and they found it far far cheaper to actually go to France, buy the bathroom and kitchen fittings and bring them all back.

They saved a fortune.

I cant remember exactly where but they showed one of the big hypermarkets in Calais sell all plumbing gear at knock down prices.

The average salary of a 30 year old working in London't Financial Service Industry is £100,000 p.a. I guess that many UK companies find this enough of a market to price to.

What tiny percentage of the UK population does this represent tho?

bathroom fittings are way cheaper in france, you also get different styles

Are the pipe fitting sizes the same as UK?

Also, I noticed that while the French site has a shopping basket, the UK one does not and states that you can't purchase items there. Anyway, a well spotted anomaly that shows up how companies will charge whatever they believe the market will bear.

The pop-up message saying that due to tax legislation, they can't ship to the UK is completely bogus: there is absolutely no legislation to prevent shipping from France to the UK - quite the opposite; the EU was created and the UK joined precisely to encourage the free movement of goods and to encourage competition! Making a false statement like that on a trading website may be illegal.

To add insult to injury, choosing ANY other country including the USA does NOT result in that blocking pop-up message!
