Eastman / Aero price gouging on overseas sales

[John Lever]

I am very happy to leave this now as we have all had our say. I would like to respect the opinions of others and I also think the disagreements damage the forum.
I am going on holiday to Sicily in a day or so so might not be around for a couple of weeks.

I like to think of it as the 'first' 35 pages... :lol:
BTW happy hols...

Don't worry.
The way this is going, it will still be front page when you get back

(Let us know if you pick up any nice Italian leather jackets while there....and what their policy is on tax refunds/charges on foreign sales.
"For Italians, the price is X...plus Y in taxes.
For foreigners.....the cost is X plus Y. But no taxes!!! :lol: )

 

[John Lever]

As it's Sicily I might give them an offer they can't refuse....second thoughts, I don't want to end up sleeping with the fishes !

 

[Dr H]

In Sicily, one makes an offer that can't be refused if certain film makers are to be believed...

Ah, predictably great minds think alike (or run through the old stereotypes) :lol:

 

[Jeff M]

The question, for which an answer has not been actually stated, is what do the upset folks here think Aero/ELC should do to correct the perceived errant business practice?

OK..now you're trying to start something else before everyone here is anywhere near clear about the simple stuff. :roll:

 

[Dr H]

I'd just come to terms with FAT after years of VAT...

Easy.
Do what this company does on their sales;
Eastman A1 jacket. ;

http://www.youmustcreate.com/products/j ... er-jacket/

Their policy re; non UK sales and VAT;

http://www.youmustcreate.com/payment-and-security/

"Sales Tax
All prices on our site are in pounds sterling and are inclusive of European Union sales tax (VAT) at the prevailing rate. If your order is being despatched outside the European Union (EU) then we will deduct VAT.

When you are at your shopping bag page, you can select the intended destination for your order, and we will automatically calculate the relevant shipping and VAT."

Clear. Concise. No confusion about what they are doing.

 

[Vcruiser]

[Jeff M]
