The grounded wall outlets, as these have a pin in the middle that does not match the Swedish standard.

Thank you, Jesca.

Anyone else with further experiences?

Most other things are the same brands as back home, ABB electrical stuff, Grohe faucets, Beckers paint, Bosch screwdrivers, Electrolux refrigerators, and so on.

Most things are considerably cheaper than here, although appliances were not as cheap.

Porcelain was very cheap, as were bathtubs.
Concrete glass was cheap.
Paint and filler items were about half the price for exactly the same brand and model. We compared a few different Beckers paints for indoors.

As previously mentioned, tiles and ceramics are incredibly much cheaper, as are adhesives, grout, and tools.

Just go over and shop!

Yes, there will most likely be a bigger purchasing round at the beginning of the year.
Thanks.

Have bought quite a lot from Poland and am very satisfied with most of it. However, we are not satisfied with filler and indoor paint. Both were too watery and require too much work.

By the way, has anyone gotten any good contacts further east for good/cheap lumber?

Best regards,
David

David.
The paint and filler you were dissatisfied with, were they domestic brands or were they brands that are available here at home?

Domestic
