Shopping online in Germany

Hi, I recently found that the electrical goods in german online shops are cheaper than in switzerland. I would like to buy one notebook from them. But the website says that they will not ship the goods to the location outside of German and Austria. Does this mean that I can not buy them?

Does anybody have the experience to buy things from online shops in German? Could you please share your experience here?

Tks a lot!

Re: Shopping online in Germany

I am not sure which shop are you exactely referring to but normaly items are subject to 7.6% import tax above certain minimum amount. Just browse on the EF on topic "online shopping" and similar to shed the light. I am sure it must have been covered many times before.

P.S. Example, I buy sports items online from Germany www.keller-sports.com but they state it specifically that they deliver to CH.
