Alpha factor uk

[Tally Ho]

Hi all, I was looking for some new leotards for DD and the alpha factor uk site didn't show the backs and detail of the leotard so I used the alpha factor aerials website in the USA and found that leotards we are being charged £43 for are on sale and would work out about £13 if we bought from there. I got in touch with them via Facebook to ask if I could order from their USA site and told them why and was told no, plus that the uk site doesn't have to put items in sale the same? Does this seem unfair to anyone else on here?

the only way round it is to have a friend in the states who will accept shipping and then forward it on to you - a leo should not be too expensive to post in a jiffy bag.

 

[Bess]

That is just insane!! Hopefully you have a friend over here that can ship

 

[Tally Ho]

No such luck!

 

[Jenny]

Very unfair

Use a mail service such as bongo the extra you will pay to them should still work out cheaper.

Ooh that looks fab P_L, I shall investigate further

Coming from gymnastics DD1's kit for her new sport is decidedly uninspiring, but i remember years ago visiting the US and they had whole dedicated shops. With pretty colours! Patterns!

Wow, that £30 extra is excessive! But now you've got me looking at Leo's again & they don't need any.

I've now wasted an hour looking at all the pretties on the US websites

The brand she likes is sold here but a completely different range, with none of the colours or choice you have in the US. I can't see why they don't have the same range worldwide . I tend to buy from past season discontinued stock on ebay so at least she doesn't turn up in the same outfit as half a dozen other girls...

I still think it's going to work out very expensive- double the price. She'll have to stick with plain.

Actually I might go and annoy them on FB

 

[Tally Ho]

I agree @Faith we should get the same choices. Alpha factor in Facebook were less than useful!

 

[Iwannabemargo]

just a thought - do they have a US fleebay outlet ? I know some sell through there, maybe you could get them with international shipping ?

 

[Tally Ho]

I've scoured ebay for these Leo's and nothing! Will look into the bongo thing @Pineapple_Lump suggested!

 

[Faith]

I wonder why they do it? As far as I can tell distributors aren't allowed to ship certain brands worldwide, even if they do or want to.

 

[meeeshymoo]

DO they no longer ship to UK, they used to.

When the big leotard company's has someone selling/stocking leotards in said country they will not ship individual orders there.

Alpha Factor UK have a quite extensive sale happening at the moment..

Some of the styles are also the same as sold in the US. 2 that are on sale in the UK right now my dd owns. Though it does seem they cost more than the US even with the UK sale price.
