Price the machine can be bought for in USA
Sizzix eclips Machine
Sizzix eclips Tote
Eclips Tool Kit
PLUS! An All Occasion Cartridge! WOW!
Sizzix eclips Super Bundle! Limited Time Only!
Retail Price: $669.95
Our Price: $399.99
Only one problem - Quote " Unable to sell outside North America due to Voltage and Certification requirements."
The same sort of pricing happens to the the Cricut.
At the present tourist rate of exchange the Sizzix machine should cost us approximately £266.66 so the benefit of having the right voltage costs £130 - pull the other one it has got bells on it.!
We get (as tourists) approximately 1.5 dollars for every £1. 2 years ago we were getting approximately 2 dollars for the £.
I go to the states most years to see my daughter and cannot keep out of the craft shops there. 99% of the time the price on products that we are all familiar with from pens to expensive machines the $ price is the same as we are charged here! Whatever the exchange rates is
Even 17.5% VAT or import taxes would not account for difference - don't forget the bulk QVC or C&C buy in would give them a much bigger discount than we can get.
check out USA craft sites and just see how often the dollar sign has been changed to a £ sign and this is what is making me really mad - we are being taken for mugs.
