Interesting to see that this is now a Plastic Box website. Also interesting to see that prices are now quoted excluding VAT. That seems rather unusual.

i certainly wouldn't go in not knowing the price of stuff.The only items that have VAT added properly are socks and bearded lady doll (?).
The black polo shirt but the vat is only 1.5%, and 3 training tops 10.5%.
Shirts are £29.99 with or without VAT according to the site no matter what size, surely list adults and children's separately for VAT reasons?

£29.99 is a good price compared to some premier league clubs who are asking for £50+
Think arsenal might be charging £60
Do people not realise these shirts cost the manufacturer less than £1 to make for premier league clubs due to the scale of the operation?

The website is in a state of confusion. For a shirt, the price of £29.99 is quoted as including VAT - and excluding VAT. Not very helpful.
That could be kids sizes which are vat exempt
The price from will always be the lowest price which will be the childs price, I think if you click on the actual size required it will then bring up the correct price with correct vat
All childrens clothing up to the age of 12/13 is vat free. Strange quirk on Mitre sizing is that the XS Adult shirt is actually vat free product.
Yes they are. I noticed the polos are cheaper £21.99 compared to £25 last season. Shorts are dearer though, I must not have added enough on last season
A child with a 50" - 52" chest??
The confusion lies here:
From £29.99 (ex. VAT)
£29.99 (inc. VAT)
That is taken straight from the website.

Strictly speaking those prices are correct as they relate to children's sizes which are vat exempt. They will not relate to the size you quoted as it is not a child size.
It's a typical marketing ploy which hooks you in at the lower price. That doesn't mean it's not a daft way of doing it since I doubt anybody will be able to reclaim the vat.
Actually DAV, the cost is £39.99. As Lancsdave and Deeayess have correctly pointed out, the price quoted is for a child's size and draws you in. It's only when you start to make your order that you realise how much you will be paying.
If I were to order a shirt online, it would in fact cost £43.60.
Shirt: £33.33
Delivery: £4.97
Discount
confused: £1.96VAT: £7.27
totally confused. back off to bed.
Confusing people is certainly NOT the right way to go.imho
I must be in a minority here. I do not find it confusing in the slightest. Firstly select whether you want the price to be shown with or ex VAT. Then you simply select the item you want and then select the size. Correct price shown. Simples.
Thats fine outback but if quite a few people are confused i dont regard that as good marketing, do you?
A major part of the problem, Outback, is that the goods are being presented/marketed in a way that we simply do not expect at Stanley. In the past, buying from the club store has always been easy. The price you saw was the price you paid (plus postage if necessary). There was none of this "From £xx.xx" stuff. Rightly or wrongly, I always associate that with marketing perhaps politely described as sharp. I see a Stanley shirt priced at "From £29.99" but in fact I have to pay £43.60. I feel that there is something not quite right about that. Maybe I am just old-fashioned.

What a fuss about nothing. You go online, select your shirt / shorts size and pay the price indicated. What could be simpler? Surely we al know the the universally used" price from" covers a range of sizes. "Ain't rocket science"!
