I notice the 10014 caboose now has a price of £10.99

I note that the German price of the Caboose is 29.95DM - which is £9.22

Why for a product manufactured and sold within the EU is UK price 20% more?

And considering that all the Shop@home stuff is shipped out of Denmark and youcharge shipping, the only difference in
your costs would be the UK call centre. Except I am ordering over the Internet anyway.

Why are you ripping off the UK customers?

lawrence
