    Iv'e noticed that if i configure a notebook on zepto.dk, and a similar one on zepto-notebooks.co.uk, the one on from the UK turns out to be 21% cheaper than the on from DK!.. What's stopping me from ordering the one from UK?

    Pricing on Zepto's UK site defaults to without VAT (@17.5%). Are you comparing like with like? If so, then we have to presume that there is a marketing strategy. Today there is a very attractive offer for the 3415W on the ZeptoUK site.

    That's a really poor argument considering that you don't pay extra taxes, toll and such when shipping inside EU.

    Yes, my comparison is with VAT and such included.

    They have the same deal in DK.
