Add postage and the savings aren't massive. Don't forget import duties and VAT which you'll probably get charged. Might even work about more expensive than UK purchase.

It's quite common for global manufacturers to charge lower prices to developing countries than developed countries and they're taking advantage of that.

Or it could be a scam

I was sure this would be cheap, but did a quick calculation here:

Incredibly, the landed value of a £430 Record 11 speed groupset (VAT + duty paid) was £1174 - the same groupset is currently £1099 in planet x.

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:

That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

```
Your code goes here
```
Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.

If you upload more than 5 files we will display all attachments as thumbnails.
