Bergfreunde is a great store with lower prices than most other shops in the UK. Since shipping is free above 36 (ish) pounds, it can save a lot of money! Some specialized gear (even something like Black Diamond Focus harness - it was ~80 pounds vs 45 pounds) is extremely cheaper than here in the UK. I hope that will make some of British shops to review their pricing or provide some additional features.

The same VAT applies for European based shops. And provided the annual total limit of sales to a particular country exceeds 50 000 € (*), they have to pay to VAT to that country. (*) might be wrong on the sum, it might be even less

Weak euro is not really helpful for products coming outside the euro-zone... Eg. BD stuff.

In the long term, if such discounters become commonplace then it will affect the exchange rate. There's no such thing as a free lunch, and all that. Until then it's not realistic to expect people to pay more just because a shop is based in the UK, particularly since much of the gear is made in China. In any case, this seems like a pretty xenophobic attitude, we live in a global marketplace, after all. Why should we not want a German distributor to do well?

Because if you don't support shops, distributors and manufacturers in your own country then there will be less folk employed in it and they won't have the money to buy stuff from abroad, a progressive decline of the industry? The UK is full of many great privately owned independent stores, with who people climb when they are not stood behind the counter, they deserve some support. These shops often support the younger up and coming stars with part time jobs too, or top up their income with a decent café. Not to mention the fact that buying climbing shoes you can't try on first, must be the first sign of madness. Otherwise, in the longer term when you are in North Wales, Lakes etc. and realise you've left something at home there won't be a little shop to pop into on a Friday evening or first thing Saturday and buy your wot not. Internet shopping won't save you then! And yes, it is a little disloyal of UKC to promote overseas internet trade.
