Let the record note... This week I bought a pair of LOWA Tibets from a store in Europe via thier website- I paid $258NZD plus shipping options of standard $45nzd or express $63nzd which I didn't mind paying more for, after exchange rates and bank fees I ended up with a $330.76nzd charge on my credit card, I will soon be hunting in LOWA boots and I had never bought a LOWA product before, if it had not been for the ability to buy them for under $350nzd... I never would've bought them, or even looked at them in hunting and fishing because I just have other things to pay for.
My point is this- it's not so much that I saved $368.24... Because I didn't save anything in reality, I just never would have bought them in the first place, but because I could afford them via purchasing them offshore- LOWA Germany gained a new customer, Im probably not alone in that regards, and as such LOWA Germany needs to realize the size of thier customer base here is restricted to only those who can afford to be extorted by the local distributor.
