Nick1c Posted March 18, 2019 Share Posted March 18, 2019 I managed to get a uk retailer to match Megabad for most of my bathroom stuff, but they couldn't get close to the sink tap/ bottle trap prices so I would like to get 3 of each (+ 3 pairs of angle valves) from them, total cost €340-ish. When I try to check out I seem to only have the option to pick up. I have been working on my bathroom German, but my delivery German is rubbish. I would be grateful if one of the linguists on the forum could let me know if I am just being inept or if there is a minimum spend before they will ship to the uk. It looks like I could use Reuter, but they are €40 more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, I didn't use Google translate. I understood that too from O level German. Quite remarkably because I haven’t spoken a word of German since! My German teacher (who was Dutch and seemed to spend most of the lessons talking about his time in WW2) used to say ach du liebe zeit a lot too lol.

No. I've scanned the relevant pages and - bleary eyed though I am (poor me) - I can't see a minimum order value before sending to the UK.

Nick1c Posted March 19, 2019 Author Share Posted March 19, 2019 Thanks Ian, I tried the number yesterday but the dash beat me. Maybe getting the site on my phone & dialling from that might be more successful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ferdinand Posted March 19, 2019 Share Posted March 19, 2019 (edited) Personally, being a total eccentric I checked the English FAQ! https://www.megabad.com/p/faq#faq_en It gives minimum orders - €2000 - for free delivery to several countries next door to Germany not including the UK, and offers a postage calculator as part of the checkout process, so try that and see what it says. As for O level German, I was taught the basics of propositional logic that way ... Hier is Hans. Hans is NaB ! Bist-du naB, Hans? “Naturlich! Ich stehe unter einem Wasserfall!” F Edited March 19, 2019 by Ferdinand 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bitpipe Posted March 19, 2019 Share Posted March 19, 2019 I'm sure I made some smaller orders from Megabad (€200) back in 2016 but maybe their Ts & Cs have changed. Have you looked at Reuter.de? Their prices are comparable to Megabad and may have more favourable shipping terms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ed Davies Posted March 19, 2019 Share Posted March 19, 2019 I've read there are a few companies which have stopped shipping to the UK recently if the order can't be guaranteed to arrive before the 29th. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weebles Posted March 20, 2019 Share Posted March 20, 2019 I did a 400 euro order from Megabad back in January. No issues then. Still got a couple more things to get so looks like I might be looking elsewhere then...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Patrick Posted March 20, 2019 Share Posted March 20, 2019 But seriously, for all those guys ordering from Europe, if there is a problem with shipping, just use a reshipping address like https://mobile.logoix.com/cgi-bin/index.pl There are others available. A lot will receive the shipment and reship for a small fee. I do normally pay around 10eur for a moving box size parcel. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
