Default Zymol UK?

Does anyone know why Zymol is double the price in UK?

(besides the obvious "because they like ripping people off" answer)

Vintage is:
1852 GBP
1973 USD

The most ridiculous is Solaris:
30,000 USD
30,000 GBP

It would make absolutely no sense to buy Solaris in the UK, even if they would only allow UK to refill in the UK . It would cost less to ship the case back to the US home address, have someone send it Zymol to fill, then back to the US address, then back to Uk?

shipping costs, shipping overseaes is not cheap.also the purcahsing power of 1GBP is similar to the power of a1USD, so it keep the "true cos" standard across the world

I hope Zymol didnt tell you that!

The "true cost" method is only used when evaluating price parity between fluctuating commodities, which wax or pretty much any product is not. So the purchasing power should not be considered. And lets say if wax WERE a live commodity, it would be the reversed order with the US wax being more expensive.

And shipping costs is not an additional 30K to ship over seas! Or even 1.9K or even $500!

Whats going on?!?!?!
