Help a Swede with some cheap UK sites :0)

Options
Hi guys!

Love this site. Stumbled in on this site while googling for a voucher to use on 'sportsdirect.com'.

For a Swedish person it's a joy to shop in the UK: the overall price is lower on almost all items(as you have lower taxes, and I guess buys larger volumes of stuff - i.e. economies of scale). And, compared to lets say the US and China - we don't have to pay VAT on stuff ordered from the UK(as your'e a part of the EU).

However! I would need some help finding cheap UK sites. As of now I'm mostly interested in clothing and shoes, outdoor stuff, sporting goods etc. (You're like 50% off compared to socialist Sweden ;)

Any ideas? The chepast site that I found through intensive googling has been sportsdirect.com

    There's a store called Blacks which does outdoor clothing, camping equipment, etc that may be of help.

    I've had good deals from Zawi.com and TheHut.com. Sometimes they run out of stuff and have to cancel orders and they may not have all the sizes but If they don't deliver they don't charge.

    Javari are sometimes good for shoes. I know they deliver to Europe too. Personally I'm not a fan of Sports Direct - being a Newcastle United supporter all things Mike Ashley are a big no no in our house. I buy some outdoor stuff at Amazon uk as they are often cheaper. Keep an eye on the discount code board or HUKD for further discounts too. Your post made me smile as Mr shoe often travels to the USA for work and I give him a shopping list - it's way cheaper than here with our high taxes and VAT. I shouldn't complain - I could be shopping in Sweden!! Mr shoe nearly fell over seeing the prices last time he was there.

    Welcome to MSE and have a look on the Grabbit board too for deals.
