Hi,
I was just wondering why people like UK Vendors better? For example technohippy. His price/quality ratio on tabs is terrible compared to a lot of vendors on SR but still he makes very good business and in general it seemed to me like UK vendors have higher prices... Why is that?

I believe it's because most drugs are manufactured outside the UK, so there are more middle-men in the loop by the time it gets to them, so more people taking their cut along the way.
Plus the fact the they have already taken the risk of getting the stuff through customs.
If you ship from, say, the Netherlands, then the drug may well be shipping directly from the lab/farm/cook-shop so there are fewer mark-ups.
That's my theory, anyway, and I think that's why the UK dealers do good business with UK customers - there is no risk of customs stopping the package.

That can't be it. Obviously that's why the prices are higher, but I mean why do people buy it then? I mean I've had 40+ orders inside EU (most international) and all came so who cares about costums if you live in EU? And Like I said, look at the example of technohippy. He's definitely also shipping outside UK to many people but his prices are just no good... why do people buy from him? I dont see the point... (the only reason that could make any sense to me is that costums from other countries never check UK packages for some reason, but I wouldnt see why that would be...)

People see a uk to uk post option as less risk of being intercepted.
There is always a bit more risk sent from abroad with customs.
