Just out of curiosity, any news on the cheaper alternatives?

I ordered 4 at 5 euro each from a german supplier - and they told me that the shipping would be about 20 euros. So for 4 stoves the price works out at 10 euros each including shipping.

The question which we have to deal with is whether we can get that 5 euros price down, what the shipping costs would be for larger quantities and maybe persuade the people to use a cheaper carrier.

The annoying thing about some german suppliers is that they use german post for inland deliveries - which is reasonable and cheap, but for foreign deliveries they stay "faithful" to the post and use DHL - which is expensive.

Edit: DHL is owned by the German Post.

I 've gott admit I'm a bit lost coming to this thread at the end of it, as its seems to have taken a few twists and turns , anyway, I would be interested in a single unit if we could get them cheap enough (£4/5/6/ ) If not i will just trundle into endicotts and have to get one for a £10.00.

Edit;-Sorry , just re-read my post and it probably comes across as snooty! Not the intention, so just to clarify , I am interested in x 1. Cheers!!

Ok, if you want to go to Endi's ; feel free.

Supplier 1 says (based on order of 50) unit price of £4.50+£25 delivery to me +VAT +£0.50 towards packaging + postage on to you (for 1 it's about £1.50) = £7.75ish

Supplier 2 says as per harryhaller message above. I'm still waiting for a final estimated cost fom them but I suspect that it will be better than supplier 1.

Harry I've had a lot of stuff from Germany and all by DHL, every parcel turned up super quick and intact, more than I can say for Royal Mail, DHL is worth the extra euro or two mate.
