Zara Rip Off Warning
Seriously?!
Posts: 9 Forumite
I've just bought some leopard print boots from Zara online (1117/301)
for a staggering £69.99 while the same boots (1117/301) are a mere €29.99 in Spain?! That is a staggering increase of £43.50 or 62%?!
And this is BEFORE Brexit? :mad:

So why didn't you buy them from Spain?0
-
Because I wasn't aware of the discrepancy until after I'd worn them. Certianly going to look into it in future though.0

It might well be the case that people in Spain wouldn't buy boots in this style

so they are trying to sell them off cheaply.0 -
They are on sale in Spain, (look at the website, they are in the "special price" section.
A lot of the stuff in there is 25% cheaper in the UK than EU (same £ and euro amount)
swings and roundabouts, they are likely made in Spain so a lot cheaper to transport and store0 -
I've just tried to buy them on the Spanish website and it won't allow me to because they will only post within Spain.0

Oh, my eyes!0 -
And you're certain that the Spanish ones are genuine?I'd rather be an Optimist and be proved wrong than a Pessimist and be proved right.0

??
Define 'genuine' - as the OP says they're both on the official Zara site but with significantly different prices in different countries0
