But the point is that you used to be able to order it direct from the SD website and it would cost you around $2,500 including postage and VAT (there is no duty to pay in the UK) which is around £1,250.
The UK suppliers used to charge £1,300 which seems reasonable based on these numbers. Logitech have now stopped direct ordering from the US and you are forced to order via their website. Despite the £ getting even stronger against the $ the new price is £1,700, a £400 or 30% increase. My understanding is that all the UK retailers will also be increasing their prices to a similar level. As other people have pointed out there are several other Logitech devices which have an even more bizarre European mark up with one product having a 150% mark-up. Well sorry, but I for one will not buy from a company that treats their customers like this. It is a shame as I was looking at purchasing a new Transporter and SB3s and will certainly no longer be recommending them to my friends. Also the Amazon price increase remains, it starts looking less of a glitch and something a little more permanent. Everyone at Logitech seem very quiet on this subject, there has been no explanation as to why they feel justified in increasing these prices. Interestingly Sonos have a much more reasonable mark-up and the AppleTV even seems to have no mark-up at all. -- mattybain '[image: http://imagegen.last.fm/recenttracks3/recenttracks/MattyBain.gif]' (http://www.last.fm/user/MattyBain/?chartstyle=recenttracks3) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ mattybain's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=44 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=37308
