Maybe now the companies selling BE bearings will stop the price gouging!? |
Just wondering if people in the U.K. might be better off buying B.E. Bearings directly from the B.E. website and then paying for the shipping over to Britain. When I convert the website price of $589 to British pounds (£) I get £464 - which is much less than the price Areeve quoted you. Even if the air shipping from the USA to U.K. was ~£20 (or thereabouts) the total with shipping would still represent a >£230 saving over the Areeve U.K. price for B.E. Bearings, and there's no VAT because the sale is outside of the U.K. (I think). Just some food for thought and something to consider. I didn't include the price of bolts in this comparison.
