the great havaianas hunt!

I think my order from powder rooms took about a week.

this is the cheapest I have found, seems it may be cheaper to buy in from brazil
I would be wary of cheap ones on ebay!

Examples:
Lilac ones, size 3 on clearance here: http://www.igapost.com/catalog_new/index.php?cPath=23_24_31&page=1&sort=3a $7.90 (£3.98 each)
postage is $11.90 (£5.99) for longer delivery or $23.10 (£11.63) for shorter delivery
(explained here: http://www.igapost.com/catalog_new/faq.php?cID=2)

so total delivered price at its lowest is £9.97!!


Since that style is a one off the price for other styles will be dearer, for example:

• standard black: http://www.igapost.com/catalog_new/product_info.php?cPath=23_24_47&products_id=714

($11.60 or £5.84) - total delivered price: £11.83

• brasil:

http://www.igapost.com/catalog_new/index.php?cPath=23_24_28

($14.20 or £7.15) - total delivered price: £13.14

you get the idea!!

:j Just looking at the Currency Converter :j


$14.20 is only £4.08
Delivery at $11.90 = £3.42 so that makes them only £7.50!

hi rachie77, did you have to pay import tax when they arrived?

they have the style i want but they don't have my size in stock... sob!!! i'm going to email and ask when they're getting some in. yet again i'm cursing my big feet

Do what I do - buy in bulk when you go home to visit your folks in Australia! They cost about £7 there last time I got some. Even with exchanges rates and stuff like that I still can't believe exactly the same shoes cost three times as much here!

Are the prices in US Dollars??

yes I believe they are in US dollars, only because the currency in Brazil is the Brazilian Real so is usually written BR rather than the dollar sign.

Rubbersole used to sell them, but they have only cariris flipflops now which are also brazilian, very simular styling & quality with brazilian flag logo

They have a lot on sale here http://www.rubbersole.co.uk/sale.aspx

You can pick up Havaianas at a fraction of the UK cost virtually everywhere outside the uk, particularly carribean islands & US,..... should you be off on your hols there!
