Panaflo fans in euro zone?

Post by Lor » Sun Apr 27, 2003 6:43 am

I can't seem to find retailers selling Panaflo fans (in particular, I'm looking for the 80mm L1A) in the euro zone. Does anybody know of an online store selling them at a reasonable price?

Ideally, it would be here in Italy, but I've given up on that.

The UK would be good too, but prices there always seem to be so terribly high... :)

The Overclocking Store sells them. I've bought stuff from them in the past without any problems.

Yes, I did look at their site. However, they don't have the L version, only the H, and also they sell them for the hefty price of £11.75 (over €17, or $18!), which is too steep for me.

Hi,

I have some panaflo fans brand new L1A "Low" fans for sale. I ship to everywhere including Europe.

Unfortunately, I live in Canada, thus shipping might be costly. Whenever I deal with someone in Europe, each fan usually cost around $10-12 US including shipping. The range is because the more fans you buy the cheaper they are since it is cheaper per fan to ship multiple fans (instead of just 1 and 2). I sell each panaflo fans for $8 US each. Of course buyer is responsible for paying for all shipping charges. Shipping/handling also depends on what type of shipping method you prefer. Most people choose the cheapest Air method.

If anyone is interested in Panaflo fans. Please pm me.

Thanks for all the info. I don't have a Paypal account because I don't like the idea of them keeping my credit card number permanently on their servers. So that rules out j3fan. :( I think I'll get them from the UK ebay store, if we can find a common payment method.

:?: :?:

Could somebody explain to me why a Panaflo A12L at £7.99 (shipping excluded) is cheaper than a Panaflo A12L at US$10 (shipping included)? :shock:

:?: :?:

EDIT:

I just made a fake order at http://www.over-clock.co.uk for 8 Panaflo's.
Cost (shipping included) £128, which translates to EUR 184.40 :shock:
I could buy the same 8 fans for EUR 75.85 (shipping included) from [email protected] :lol:

Now, which one is cheaper :?: :?:

Just a quick reminder, if you buy from outside EU.

Your final price will be:


(Price from abroad + shipping) x customs x VAT

which in my case might translate to:

78,85 EUR + 40 EUR shipping = 118,85

118,85 x 1,03 x 1,22 = 149,35 EUR

I'm using Finnish 22% VAT here as an example.

Of course the shipping/postage might be lower as well, but it could be higher as well if the seller insists on using overpriced couriers like Fedex, UPS or DHL.

US Mail Global priority is usually among the cheapest and still very reliable in my opinion.

regards,
Halcyon

regarding customs + VAT : can disappear sometimes. Otherwise, better live outside EU : x 1.076 here ;)

regarding paypal :
1. on any website you pay with your credit card : how do you know they delete your CC number ?
2. you can insert new CC number, pay, remove CC number (that's what I did)
3. paypalsucks.com

to j3fan : do you have 120mm panaflo fans ?

Why are you shipping it twice?
And why do you ship it so expensive the second time?

The 78,85 EUR was with shipping included :wink:

I have had two packages from Canada & USA.
Both came without additional taxes. :lol:

Sorry, don't have any 120mm panaflo fans. I currently only have 80mm "Low" Panaflo fans and they are for sale. They are also BRAND NEW.
