UK HF TRAILER SUPPLIER

[Mini Renegade]

Found this yesterday, www.northerntooluk.com item 12574e-166 £305.49 inc vat for a 4x8

[angib]

And, to make you all cry, that £306 converts to $625 - and it's for the 990lb 8" wheel version!

OUCH!

Especially when you consider that I recently paid $255 for the 1740 pound, 4 X 8 with 5 bolt 12 inch wheels

They're all the same price when they leave China . . . . unless shipping to the UK costs about 4X as much as to the states, you've got more than one 'middleman' getting fat off your pounds

OUCH!

Lots of effects add up to give this big a price difference:
- There's $95 of sales tax (VAT) is that price (we have to collect a lot of tax to give ourselves 'free' medical care!).
- The US dollar is worth nearly nothing at present so the conversion rate is as bad as it's been for 25 years.
- We don't buy many such trailers, so it's a low volume item.
- It costs much more to run a business over here - for example, US land is pretty much free compared to land here.
