Bathroom fixtures from European foreign countries

Hello!

I have heard that the German top brand manufacturers of bathroom fittings (e.g. Grohe etc.) can be obtained 30% - 50% cheaper in other European countries (e.g. Holland).

Can anyone confirm this or does anyone know more about this kind of "re-import"?

Thank you and best regards

Hello!

At least buying in Holland offers the opportunity to visit a coffee shop:p.

Otherwise, the "top brand manufacturer" Grohe is heavily offered in hardware stores, e.g. Globus, the 1000 series with approx. 60% discount on the list price.

I will still take a look at how it looks with the high-priced items. The specialist retailer wants 1,600 euros (less 20%) for the Grohe shower rod - I find that a bit steep.

What is significantly cheaper abroad, however, are bathtubs. My Kaldewei imitation (400 liters capacity) cost only 880 DM instead of 5,000 DM back then.

So, keep your eyes open - and have fun in Holland:)!
