where are the cheapest stihls?

[munkymadman]

this question is in relation to europe, otherwise we all know the states would win hands down. i was going to buy a few saws and ship em to australia, so do you reckon i'd be better off getting them in england or germany(i assume theres no other contenders). thanks

I would think, although i am not sure, that you could get yourself or a supplier into lots of trouble with stihl if you did. They can be a bit funny about that sort of thing.....

[munkymadman]

if they were brand new maybe but i was going to use them first then bring them, there for personal use not for sale. its only that i'll be freighting my truck over and i thought i'd buy like three more saws to go with. nothing on a grand scale

[tommer9]

Ah- i get it. YOu should be fine then. There are some dealers advertising on here, who offer very good prices.

If I was going to Australia I would take as much Arborist equipment, especially saws as I could afford, it all costs a fortune down under.

there is absolutely nothing a dealer or stihl could say to complain about this as you'd be doing nothing wrong at all,,

 

same as buying an ipod in america and sending it to uk..

 

and stihl would still need to honour the warranty too...

ok cool, yes australia does cost a fortune for tree gear. still not sure why everything else seems reasonably reasonable (oh except second hand cars, another rip off). ok so back to the subject as i'm driving through germany i'm just wondering if i'm better off buying them there or getting them through england instead. and while on the subject of importation, would i have to pay some importation duty if they were in boxes or would i be wiser getting them a bit dirty before i pack em away
