Hi all,

Just found this link, which is interesting.

I've not seen any other websites who sell RioCar products in the UK.

Interestingly, they put a hefty premium on the RioCar.

10GB Empeg Store: 765 + VAT
10GB PCUPGRADER: 899 + VAT

Cheers,

Paul.

Absolutely, didn't mean to pass it off as my own investifgation, just thought it was interesting, and that i'd share.

Rob is right - hugo originally pointed this out to us on the RioReceiver board (wrt the receiver, which is also on the site).

Sorry Hugo. [grin]

Paul.

Note that the pound equivalent buying from the American Store is only £676 rather than the e store-- £90 for delivery yeh right.

Oh, not this again.

You still have to pay import duty on the thing, as well as shipping and VAT.

Do a search for this topic and you'll find a whole discussion about it - it basically works out about the same from the US and the UK.

Besides, It's a bit of a bargain either way.

Paul.

Sorry if I missed previous (newbie tonite) but both figures were ex vat and import duty would be charged on both, just the American store price was avertising a $300 cut.
Isn't there a UK 'shop' if not how could I get the deal, know FA about car hifi, but deal extensively with the US in our main business (mailing machinery)

www.empeg.com is the UK/EU store.

Import duty would not be paid on this, since it's shipped within the EU (assuming you are also in the EU).

Cheers,

Paul.
