Magazine cover prices?

[221b]

Hello

I've recently discovered a beautiful Danish bi-monthly magazine which has a cover price of €10 (about £8.25).

After a search, I've discovered a single UK outlet, but they charge £16.99 for a single issue!

I was just wondering how they can do this if the cover price is so vastly different.

When I asked them about the discrepancy, they say it is down to how much their bank charges them to pay the supplier in Euros and postage (though their supplier says they send to retailers foc). They also say the cover price is only when the magazine is bought in Europe. I thought we were in Europe?

Thoughts anyone? Does a cover-price count for naught any more?

will the supplier not send it to you direct?

Hi VIc Lou

I'm an in the process of trying to deal direct with the publisher, but they of course would rather deal with a retailer who will shift lots of copies!

Thanks for your question...
