Oh no. I'm a great fan on TW!!!! Especially, when I was living in US but now I live in SE-Asia which tennis things are not easy to find in the right price. Then, I got a chance to Italy ..... and because TWE is not in Italy. That's why I asked for it ..........

TWE ships to Italy, so if you have an address in Italy where you stay, you can order from TWE.

I live just north of Milan and I have to say that it is much better to order stuff from the Internet and TW Europe usually has the better prices. I go to a store in Como called Breakpoint Sport for the whole package, meaning selection, quality, service and prices.

Anyway, things are always more expensive in Europe. I bet you can find better deals at home or on the Internet, or just wait until the next time you go the US.

That's not actually true. The Dunlop Biomimetic 500 Tour is a LOT less expensive in Europe than in the U.S. - I'm sure there are other examples too.

There are always exceptions, but the main driver of the price differences between the EU and the US is the sales tax rates. 21% here in Italy. Another driver is often demand, as the overconsumer culture hasn't hit the EU as bad, and Italians are especially frugal. Hard to make up lower prices on lower demand.
