I have just checked prices from many websites, and I have found out that European countries selling an iPad at least £420 (16GB WiFi) whilst everyone selling around £335. It is fairly overpriced and we do know we have to pay import and duty taxes, but why does it have to be so high? The £85 difference goes to the taxes which it isn’t fair for our UK and European residents. That’s why we should buy from US directly rather than buying it from here, however you must have a friend overseas to send you the parcel. Below you will see a chart listing out the prices which I have calculated. Prices below based on Wifi versions only.
