Really?

 

The max saving you can possibly make is £66 plus vat, assuming you get the very cheapest UK deal over a full retail sale in Ireland.

 

Does that really cover the travel costs and loss of local warranty service?

 

Why not try a Tanaka? there are plenty of Tanaka dealers around Cork.

 

the saving was about 130 euro and that included delivery( when it was possible)

just didnt fancy tanaka although i have a hedge trimma by them which is fine and i got that local as was the same price( easy way round the whole problem, if everyone charged roughly the same!)

The UK price before vat is around £ 245 and jonesies price, for instance, is £179 plus vat. Difference of £79 inc vat. What is that in eurothings?

 

Is the Irish retail higher than than the UK, and do Irish dealers not offer any discount?

the uk price in eurothings is 347.21 inc vat at todays rate, so the irish must have a higher retail then.

 

Do you remember that thread about a 550 by someone called kaz (or summat similar), he was Irish and had come over to buy a saw off Jonsie as the Irish prices are much higher

Did a bit of googling Irish prices, but without much success as not many dealers seem to have embraced the web.

 

Did find a HS45 hedgecutter which appears to be nearly 50% higher in price than the UK full retail.

 

Thats Crazy.

 

Wish I lived at a ferryport to Ireland.

That can't be right. The irish fellas are selling saws from vans all over Britain. Surely if prices were so high in Ireland they would be selling them in their own country.
