UK Prices

more_vert
The prices here in the UK when compared to the US is insane. Yet, I understand why this is something which is needed by massdrop to keep sending things over. But I ask any ways, can there be a UK based Massdrop. So that I don't have to pay ridiculous prices to ship it over.

In the UK, prices can sometimes feel like a rollercoaster compared to the steady ride in the USA. While our British friends navigate through fluctuating costs, one thing remains constant – the demand for quality. When it comes to luxury customizable rigid boxes, though, the UK market shines. Despite price nuances, investing in these premium packaging solutions is a global nod to sophistication and brand distinction.

These guys at Massdrop are the kings of schoolboy errors bruv. I can't believe they're still in business after making so many product and strategy mistakes

Still not happend after almost 3 years, I say fuck it, go to the competition, a UK based company. I'll start my own, copy their business model, and capture the UK market.

Hey! We’re testing a new shipping method for all our folks in the European Union. It is a preliminary test to build towards offering a more hopefully permanent solution. Products and quantities are limited! Check out this talk post for more details: www.massdrop.com/talk/22344/massdrop-testing-local-shipping-in-european-union

Brexit will not solve this issue as VAT in the UK is there to protect the UK market, its there as a steady source of income for the treasury. You are free to buy your goods anywhere but the Gov will still add 20% onto the value, which essentially makes it no cheaper so we just buy from the UK thus protecting our own market. What takes the piss is the 20% in the first place and if a MD were to spring up in the UK, you can bet your left bollock it will still be more expensive than the US because of or piss taking VAT.
Want a solution, make friends with someone in America and start buying them some "gifts". Shipping is not that expensive on most things nowadays ;)

jay.bYou seem to miss the fact that in the USA they have state tax similar to our VAT tax. What kills for us here in the UK is the GOV scam of charging VAT on the postage price as well ( a product used in the country of origin ie in this case the USA. Also the Post Office scam of charging £8 handling fee, not as noticeable on an item costing a few hundred dollars but on an item costing under a hundred dollars it is a real sting in the tail. This is not about protecting UK industry and jobs in any way shape or form it is about a bunch of scam merchants pretending to represent the people of our country. After all if it was about protecting jobs they would have penalty clauses in when a company takes jobs out of the UK to foreign country's with cheap labour. If they cared about these people they would put a penalty tax on basic call centre jobs taken out of the UK at around £10k per year, they have not, why ?? Probably getting kick backs from these companies in one form or another just like MP expenditures.

speed098Not all states have the same tax rate, though - and not all things are taxed by each state. There is no one state tax as they’re allowed to decide for themselves what and whether to tax.

This isn't as simple as "hey, give us MD in another country". That's a lot of time, saving, planning, and spending.... Their overseas market may not be quite big enough for another MD HQ to survive financially so far from home, unless it'd profit enough to keep itself alive. MD specializes in selling to niche markets, UK, Canada or AUS locations would be nice, but maybe not feasible at the moment. I've seen Massdrop grow since about day one. I've got a feeling you'd have to give MD a couple more years to R&D.
