My latest excursion to the capital gave me a sticker shock. I got off of Metro Bus and BAM - there was ASHLEY Furniture.. recently inaugurated(literally by the First Lady). So next day I peroused every floor.
I found great things - AT 4 X the price I had paid for some in US. Yes. Not 10, 30, 50% more. Or even double. 4X
A Seafoam green couch. Online $481. Free shipping to a freight forwarder, free and then transfer at 2.50lb x 150lbs...Even with shipping it is still 1/2 price.
On the showroom floor. $68,000RD - $1577 US Plus ITBIS @ 18%.
HASTA LUEGO. Be forwarned. Shop wisely.
