Magazine cover prices?
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?

Yes I have contacted them directly and am waiting for an answer at the moment. I have a feeling postage from abroad every other month may be a little steep though...
Most Danes have fantastic English, you're right. The magazine is in English too
I expected to pay a little more than £8.25, but not a 200% increase!
