Why is the price different in my country?Updated 3 days ago

Prices vary between countries because each one includes that country's own sales tax and import duty.

A UK price includes UK VAT at 20%. A German price includes German VAT at 19%, plus the duty payable on importing the item into the EU. The product itself is the same price — what changes is whose taxes are included.

VAT rates across Europe range from 17% to 27%, which is why totals differ noticeably between countries. 

It also means that across the EU and most of Europe there is nothing further to pay when your parcel arrives. 

A small number of European territories are the exception — see Do I need to pay Customs & Import fees?
