$1500 flat for a 60l delivered to Mexico armsup

I spoke with all the local retards and the best they'd do was 1589 Rolling Eyes

Okay okay, I finally worked it out... 1589 - value of bag (170) = 1419 - 50 = 1369... wait... still doesn't make much sense about the $50 bag.

I didn't want a bag, the local shops tried to palm me off a bag saying its value...170 worth, but if i didn't take it would only knock 50 off, so its really only worth 50bucks

Oh... gotcha, you turned down the bag and they offered $50 in its place...

Yeah, thats gotta be pretty lame.

Keep in mind that the supposed $170 value of the bag is retail price. It would cost far less then that to produce.

At least the bags are still proudly made in Australia, not like the fridges which are now produced out of Thailand, although Engel still haven't reduced their prices to reflect the cheaper labour costs in Thailand.

Fact that it is 20 yrs old and still working answers your own question.

Not sure...... I went and bought a bag for mine about two months ago which had Australian made plastered all over it. While I was in the store, I had a quick look at the fridges and I was having a chat to the sales rep in the store and he said the fridges were now made in Thailand, but the Sawafuji compressors are still made in Japan. Its a bit of a shame really, and their retail prices don't reflect the obvious saving in labour costs from using Thai labour.

I have a mate who has a Thai made one and its a lot noisier than my Australian made one.
