UK leads Europe for best value shopping online

Independent research has found UK online retailers provide the best value in Europe for consumers looking to buy consumer electronic and technology products.

Research just announced proves UK shoppers get the best value compared to other European shoppers when shopping online for consumer electronic and technology products.

The research was conducted by next generation shopping search engine Twenga.co.uk, which has launched its innovative international search service allowing shoppers to easily compare prices for consumer electronics and technology products across thousands of retailers in Europe.

From a European price analysis across the 400 consumer electronic and technology categories on Twenga, the UK consistently delivers the best value.

In a specific analysis of the top 10 most clicked on consumer electronic and technology products on Twenga, the UK secures the number one spot as the cheapest country in Europe for online shoppers followed by Italy and Germany.

"It's clear that the UK is emerging as the country that offers the best value on consumer electronic and technology products in Europe," said Bastien Duclaux, CEO of Twenga.

"That said, there are still bargains to be found internationally, even with delivery costs included.

"With the current economic climate, people are spending more time searching for the best buy and we feel our new international search engine will help them do just that".

Users can see prices with daily exchange rates and information about the product they are searching for from European online retailers all on one page.

This now means that, even with shipping costs factored in, consumers can search across 400 categories on Twenga from European retailers including computers, home cinemas systems, LCD, HD and flat-screen TVs, hi-fis and home stereos and mobile phones.

Duclaux said: "Currently the service covers consumer electronics and technology products, but we will be introducing the service across our entire product range - that's over 60 million products across 30,000 international retailers.

"This will go a long way to establishing Twenga as the first port of call for online shoppers".

The new service adds to the growing range of features on Twenga.

Other features include price drop email alerts, product price histories and Twenga's online coupons and vouchers area.
