    Gunfire item base price: €15.68
    Gunfire shipping cost: €14.50
    Total cost: €30.18
    In stock: No
    Waiting time for shipping: approx. 1 week (if in stock)

    Airsoftguns.ie base price: €31.99
    Airsoftguns.ie shipping cost: €5.99
    Total cost: €37.98
    In stock: yes
    Waiting time for shipping: 1-3 days

    If you look at the cost of buying off that retailer directly for that item, compared to the irish store base price is less than €2. Also faster delivery and it's in stock. That's for one individual purchase.

    If buying more than one then it will work out cheaper, once they are in stock.

    well its free if you order 70 quids worth of stuff im not going to order one thing all the way from poland so once you get free shipping its over double the price to buy it of an irish site

    Welcome to the the real world

    Vat

    Rent

    Shipping

    Electricity

    Employee's

    Suppliers

    Insurance

    Websites

    And various other over heads

    All the above needs paying for before you even look at a customer ,
    Most of the Europe based retailer's have a large customer base the Irish market is literally tiny compared to mainland Europe , so yeah expect a price difference, plus we get face to face customer service here always a bonus

    Everything in Ireland cost more. We are an island nation therefore we must get everything produced out side of the country shipped by boat or plane which is expensive. Then as said earlier we have a tiny population with a small number of airsofters. We are lucky to have what we have.

    true , the profit margins on these things is VERRY tight, your only saving about €20 by ordering yourself and that's assuming you can avoid the customs charge, if not then you'll actually lose money importing.
