Phonema Speaker for K3
Locked
 
|
For those curious about Phonema¹s matching speaker for the K3, I contacted
the seller in the UK to ask what the shipping cost would be to the U.S. (Denver). The reply was 38 Euros for economical shipping (10-15 days delivery) or 70 Euros for five day express; plus 18 Euros for Customs Dispatch and 7 Euros for optional insurance. The speaker itself is 106 Euros. So the total to Denver using slow delivery and no insurance is 162 Euros which, as of this morning, equals $214. Payment must be via Pay Pal or Bank Transfer (another $50 for my bank.) I wonder if there are any plans for an American distributor . . .

You are right, Ted. I am really unhappy that a very important part of
the speakers' cost is the shipping part. However, this is the cheapest way of selling them since I am the manufacturer and the distributer at the same time, with no intermediary added costs. The breakdown of the total price shows you how much everything costs. The situation does not difer too much in Europe. Shipping price is around 35EUR, meaning that the total price is 165EUR. There is little difference, as you see. On the other hand, a US distributer would have a cheaper shipping price, but its own benefit must also be added. In the end, it might be a little bit cheaper. We are a young company and one of our priorities is to get the best and the cheapest way of sending our products.

I still think the speaker is expensive. We can assume that a part of the cost is for shipping, but the rest is still expensive for a speaker, especially when you think of brand such as Ham Mountain Radio. In addition,it is not unfrequent to find companies which afford shipping cost when you order over a concrete amount money. That could attract people to order speakers overseas, just an idea. Most of my speakers have been bought in USA, and I am really happy with them, as I said before, the relation quality and price is really fair. And , if in the future , if I had to purchase other speaker I would , quite probably, choose one of these brand , called it brand loyalty. Anyway, I do not doubt the quality of your speaker is good. I have not tried it. I hope you understand this. At last , what we are doing here is discussing prices , comparing brands and tell our experience. That is all.
