WTB: window stay / window locker

Post by Kammekor »

For my new wooden house in the boonies I need lockers which will prevent the windows from flapping around when opened. Of course nothing to be found here. Any leads to these in Phnom Penh?

Went to the hardwareshop. Decent collection but most from the catalogs. Actual stock is very, very limited. Prices are insane. 31.50 USD for a part I pay EUR 13,80 for back home. And that much lower price includes 21% VAT as well.
Buying abroad and shipping in with DHL is cheaper than buying locally. That kind of sums it up I guess. Since the box with DHL can be filled up with some goodies from home I will go for that option.

Problems with getting the finer finishing niceties here, they simply don't have, or your/and they are subject to the importers fees and tax. I tend to start thinking about an improvised situation. Such example has a length of small box section metal, it's something that is here, and plenty of at a cheap price.

To be honest, I don't get it. I buy stuff abroad, and it includes 21% VAT. I pay 13,80 per piece. To pay $ 31.50 for the same while Cambodia's VAT is less than 10% is weird to put it mildly.

I know there's all kind of extras like import tax and transport but being an importer myself I can assure you those costs don't raise the price with 250%. It either the small market here, the inefficient way it all works, or both. Or more.
