I gave the "voucher" a try but it knocked me back - However at checkout it applied a €10 discount so my total bill was €153 inc delivery.

Just have to wait and see what the credit card charges are!
I used a Halifax Master Card and when I use it in Europe they dont add on a percentage for using foreign currency - Normally they apply the commercial rate and not tourist rates.
Good man, the voucher must have gone through to get the price you did. Koffer are definitely a pukka outfit so we should be fine. Sometimes the bigger resellers do sell for less than the manufacturers - John Lewis sometimes have things less than direct for example. Anyway, will soon find out...

The Clarity Card? Yep I am a big fan as well. The only way to go for overseas cash and purchases. Although I think I used Paypay for this come to think of it (as I didn't think...).

I use either the Post Office card or the Halifax card. They both convert € to £'s at the commercial rate.

I was only a button push away from a Paypal transaction when I had the thought of the Halifax card.

Prior to ordering I emailed and asked if they were manufactured by Roadster Bags - They confirmed that they are!

I can't understand how the manufacturer is asking £170 + £17 delivery and koffer only £134 ish.

Mine were ordered on the 26th Feb - Should only be a couple of days after yours.
They do say five working days on the web page.

Delivered on time and with no fuss, very impressed for the money. Even at the RRP of £170 + delivery they would be good value. Stick a BMW label on them and they'd be £500. £133 delivered from Koffer is a bargain. IMHO.

My bags arrived today and think that they are a good bit of kit.
At €153 delivered I would good value and I agree if they had a BMW logo they would certainly be in the £500 area!

I was also pleased to see that they came with drawstring storage bags. Thats a good addition as they will probably live in the loft for 48 out of 52 weeks
