Hey, Im new to the Pleo world - hoping to buy my first very shortly

However whilst I can find the Pleo Ugobe I really really want the Pleo RB, but unable to find it in the UK, does anyone know where in the UK sells it or a website which ships to the UK at a reasonable price?

Thanks!

I think Robopolis is the official distributor for Europe. Or you could try pleoworld.

Thanks for you reply!

I found a website called www.shop-robopolis.com, is this the right one? Also do you happen to know what their rating is like - as in are they a good seller, not just someone out there to con money of anything? Pleo RB's seem quite expensive so I dont want to lose my money

Also the pleoworld is in the US yea? Would I have to pay custom fee's on top of shipping?

Hello peaches.

. Personally, I would think it is a better idea to buy a pleorb from Robopolis rather than another UK source.As Kat said, they have been appointed the official and sole distributor in Europe by Innvo,the manufacturer. If you buy elsewhere there might be warranty issues? Of course, you could buy from Innvo's website, Pleoworld, but I'm not sure about the customs fee implications. I think a couple of forum members have ordered in the UK from USA. Perhaps they may tell you more accurately. Good luck

As Lotti says, you won't have the import duty to pay if you buy from Robopolis, so it's your best bet, I think.

Please let us know how you get on ordering from Robopolis. Thanks

Hello, defo let us know how your purchase goes please. I have decided to go for the rb too, and so your experience will help me decide. Keep us informed

I've finally decided to buy a pleo rb (yey!) Anyway I tried ordering one off pleoworld but it said it couldn't ship to the UK

so I contacted customer services but they still haven't replied! Anyway I was wondering if you guys knew where I could buy a pleo rb (preferably new) online which would ship to the UK?Thanks

I believe Roboplis are handling sales of the RB within Europe - you can either go to the Robopolis site:

http://www.shop-robopolis.com/index.php/en/pleo-reborn.html

or I believe this site is linked to Robopols:

http://www.pleoeurope.com/uk/

looks like the site only sells the green ones. i am still tempted to buy a pink one, but dunno where to get it from xx

Crewella · « **Reply #10 on:** June 04, 2012, 09:25:19 AM »

Gimmedigi are selling the pink and blue again, but you'd have to check the warranty is still backed by Innvo, and you'd have to pay import duty the same as you would if you could buy direct from Innvo in the US.

thanks crewella.

i recently bought a doll for $275 and it cost me £60 ransom to customs, so i reckon it would be £100 ffor pleo for customs alone

i may just paint my pleo pink, did you finish your boa pleo? xxx

Crewella · « **Reply #12 on:** June 04, 2012, 01:52:12 PM »

From memory it was around £80-85 at customs for an RB.

Erm ...... got waylaid with neck surgeries and skin repair tests ....... I will finish Boa Pleo ........ promise!

snowy · « **Reply #13 on:** June 04, 2012, 03:25:14 PM »

hmm, £80 not too bad

hope you get finish the boa design, thank you so much for the info xxx

I bought mine from Robopolis. It was ordered for me on the 28th may and I got it on the 13th. Robopolis is probably the best place to buy a pleo rb in the UK. No custom fees and it gets delivered quick and well.

Uchianseron · « **Reply #15 on:** September 12, 2012, 03:34:25 PM »

Sorry to kick this topic up, but I wasnt sure if TS allready purchased a Pleo RB or not.

I have two Pleo RB`s for sale, one is allready matured and one is still in baby phase.

PM me if your interested.

I can guarentee you that I`m a cheaper then Robopolis

I am in the UK and got my green Rb from Robopolis:

http://www.shop-robopolis.com/index.php/en/

They were really helpful and my Pleo was with me within 3 working days of placing my order

Robopolis charge a flat shipping rate of 28 Euros so if you want any of the accessory packs its cheaper in the long run to order everything at once (lol, I found this out after I ordered just my Pleo).

Looks like the pink and blue Pleo Rb are US/Asia exclusive. Robopolis only sell the green model.

Oh crumbs, it's all so expensiiiiiiiive.

Sometimes I really wonder whether I should have been born in the US.

InmemoryofRomeo · « **Reply #18 on:** October 26, 2012, 01:33:57 PM »

It's not much cheaper for them I'm afraid, they have to order from Hong Kong!

Kiromanta · « **Reply #19 on:** October 27, 2012, 03:02:48 AM »

Have a look at amazon.de. As far as I know they ship to UK.
With € 299.00 for Pleo RB they a cheaper as Robopolis.

Peaches · « **Reply #20 on:** October 27, 2012, 07:03:46 AM »

Sutz it def can be expensive!
I finally got a Pleo RB from PleoEurope a little while ago - although I technically don't have he/she till Xmas as its a present from my family & friends who all chipped in together for one as I completed my college course with D,D,D

Got to say Pleo Europe have been fantastic though; reasonable shipping, brilliant at replying to any queries I had, very helpful & a years warranty! So for anyone who's looking to buy one I'd def check them out

pirpintine · « **Reply #21 on:** November 03, 2012, 06:39:51 AM »

robopolis seem to sell RBs for 199 euros now!? That works out to about £150 which is a steal! (I paid £250 for my ugobe back in the day) I'm actually pretty tempted to get one! On the pleoworld site it was £300.

Hmmmmm...

Lusewing · « **Reply #22 on:** November 09, 2012, 02:41:51 AM »

Just bought a green Pleo rb from Robopolis, along with all the accessory packs, two years warranty and an extra battery, comes to just under £300 (including shipping and VAT) - a really incredible price

. I will let you all know how long it takes to arrive so others in the UK have a good estimate. (Plus it was a really nice site to use, no problems at all and I am the sort of person that messes things up regularly

I purchased my pleo rb from robopolis, in Italy arrived in three days. Site very seriously, I did not understand if you bought it, but if you're going you can order with confidence

I'm gonna see how my money is after helping out with christmas, and I'll likely get an RB if it's all good!

My ugobe is going to find a new home with my friend in canada, if I do. Because she wants a pleo and I don't think I'll have the space for 2! He'll get well loved though
