More expensive "official" samsung.com/uk/ price, but Samsung UK official Amazon listing is already cheaper than cheapest Polish distributed drive while samsung.com/us/official Samsung US Amazon/bestbuy is 40% cheaper than that.

US site pricing doesn't include taxes, keep that in mind.

I always wondered why shipping from US to UK is so outlandisly expensive. Even with taxes buying tech from US would be much cheaper if it wasn't for the crazy shipping prices.

Their pricing is similar between Poland and UK, especially when you consider taxes. Poland X-Kom: 1 649,00 zł scan.co.uk: £323.99 (1 636,33 PLN)

Samsung's Dutch website lists the SSD as available for €480 (2 044,03 zł) while their Polish site lists the drive for 1 649,00 zł (€387).

This may not reflect actual price in third party stores, but at nearly 25%, the price difference could explain the difference in rated TBW.
