Pelican cases in the UK


Recommended Posts

Hi,

 

I need to buy one or possibly two Pelican 1500 cases. Peli Products in the UK quoted me £75.71 apiece, which is nuts, since from casesbypelican.com they can be bought for $74.33, no foam.

 

Apparently this is to do with the UK operation having to buy cases in euros from their Barcelona office, but frankly I couldn't care less about their labyrinthine internal corporate meanderings - is there anywhere in the UK who will give me a sensible price on a 1500 peli case, or do I just bite the bullet and import them direct?

 

Thanks,

 

Phil

Hello Phil

you could try these people too http://www.all-pelican-cases-4-less.com/de...lican_1500.html

About $71-00.

Remember the price you have in UK includes delivery. Might be worth paying a little extra for the lack of hassle. Remember customs fee,courier fee, import duty and VAT, phonecalls. Might still be worth importing just for the hell of it though.

Good luck and let us know what you decide

Phil,

 

Make sure you are comparing apples to apples (or whatever it is you lads compare). No foam should be a bit cheaper. In the States, one is better off always buying with the foam - even if you don't need it yet - because buying the foam by itself is half as much as the case.

You may want to check on the prices of the Storm Cases from Hardigg. Perhaps they are less expensive than Pellican there. Check cases4less.com for a nice comparison chart with corresponding model numbers. When pressed to find a dealer in my area, I simply phoned Hardigg and they gave me a list of contacts with phone numbers.
