Disappointingly Our favourite electric fence supplies retailer Voss in Germany has stopped sending stuff here .
As someone who hasn't a clue how easy or hard or expensive would it be to bring a modest amount of goods back every now and then ?

when over on a visit /holiday / short break and passing would be most likely scenario not a trip there especially for the task :unsure:

Would that be Powered Pasture ? yes they are good but there are somethings that Voss supplied that cant be got any where else and their energisers were second to none for choice /power output/ cost.......

Sounds like if your there on holiday the only cost is actually the cost of what your buying, if you get questioned I’d just say it’s not for money making purposes to be on the safer side

Is it that simple ,
Tbh I haven't been across there for awhile and even then only once in the late 70's :cautious: let alone since brexit:oops:
could be that a company 'ElectricFence Online 'is something to do with it maybe, but they dont stock the same stuff exactly, possibly nothing to do with them and its just like the usual gallagher expensive low power units :rolleyes:
they do have a small choice of cheaper units with more than 1/2 a joule output ( :rolleyes::banghead: ) mind.
