Have a look at Parcelmotel.com - they explain it better than I can

It is a service whereby you can provide an address in Northern Ireland as YOUR address, as the NÍ address contains a code that is unique to you.

The actual NÍ premises that the goods get delivered to is a freight service, who accept the parcel containing your goods, on your behalf. They then bring the parcel from NÍ to the Republic of Ireland, and place the parcel in one of their collection locker depots, and you go along with a code and collect it. The collection locker depots are located in all significant population centres in the ROI.

For standard size parcels you get charged €3.50 by parcel.motel for this service, although I think they were offering to deliver your first 2 parcels for free.

It is a very simple system.

Great alert. Cheers

anybody getting the feeling the prices before sales were artificially jacked up??

Take this for example: http://www.ralphlauren.co.uk/product/index.jsp?productId=15595431&cp=4320611.4906311&ab=int_1222_sale_m_lp_IntarsiaShawl-CollarSweater

540 Pound for a wool sweater?? Granted it is hand knit but still seem a bit steep.. maybe i'm just out of touch with market value for luxury items

yikes :eek: Even at the sale price it's way too dear IMO! I'd want Jenny Lauren to be knitting my stuff for that price!

Amazon are unreal for artificial price jacking on the pre-sale price, some of their Seiko 5 Watches claim to be £250 before the sale but are now £45. Not a chance.

They aren't jacked up, all RRL stuff is often 4 or 5 times the the price of normal Ralph Lauren stuff, similar to purple label etc.

Your original snide comment was ignored so get the message. If this thread is not for you move along....

Have a look at the stuff in the US sale. The price differences can't be explained by VAT and Customs. We're getting robbed. I order from the US site for delivery to Australia when I am visiting Australia. VAT/GST free up to $1000.

I just did a quick check on the following product:
http://www.ralphlauren.com/product/index.jsp?productId=21685466&prodFindSrc=cart&sProdEvar=Shopping+Bag
http://www.ralphlauren.co.uk/product/index.jsp?productId=14996821&prodFindSrc=cart

Over double the price after customs and VAT.

These guys will forward from the US for you if you want to buy there:

Very expensive clothing, the prices of some of the shoes. Well I'd like my job.

Maybe it should go in a new thread re: hopshopgo?
I'd be interested to know more. Can you setup an address in any state, eg one that has no sales tax?
It seems they are part of comgateway, who are based in Oregon, a tax-free state. Maybe someone can confirm hopshopgo is the same?

daingeanrob

thanks op. I think! some good prices but the credit card is on fire...

BeautyQueen20

Great post. Thank you.
Might not be able to compete with US prices but some lovely bargains.

Yep. Tax free. Used them in Aus but never to here. They can be slow.

Thanks for explaining this.i was lost as well.

Not sure what some people here are complaining about

Bog standard polo shirt, available in loads of colours and pretty much all sizes. Normal price £85 (yeah I know normal retail price in the US is only $85, everything out there is cheaper), sale price £50, and with additional 40% off that's down to £30

And that's a bargain.

Thanks OP, I put in a big enough order

sandin

Or in Kildare Village €34.99 each if you buy 2.

Shirts €39.99 - €44.99 when you buy 2 as well.


Prices in USA exclude tax, prices in Ireland include vat at 23% and having just returned form USA and being in one of their outlets in Lodi, Cleveland, I found very little difference on prices between the USA outlets or Kildare village.

Identical comparisons (USA prices as per last Sunday)
Polo shirts - Kildare €34.99 (when you buy 2), USA $44.99 + 8.5% sales tax (€37)
Long sleeve shirts - Kildare €39.99, USA $59.99 + 8.5% (about €48) (identical style/pattren)
But biggest surprise was a pullover - exact same and three colours. USA $69.99 + tax, Kildare €44.99.

Wife also found that there was either no difference between USA / Kildare or USA was more expensive.

Obviously short term and end of line pricing can be different, but as with USA, Kildare has its own fair share of discount days especially the 30% freinds and family event every October.

AsianDub

Got a RL hoody and cotton jumper for €39.99 each in Kildare Village at the weekend. Pricing of both depends on colour, some are €59.99.
