Why do some of the Polish companies (actually most of the ones I had a "pleasure" to deal with - marketing/advertising areas) think that foreign customers are suckers? When I try to buy a service from them AND they know I'm from Germany, they charge 2-4 times more than they would have charged a domestic client. I can speak/read Polish well and some of these companies have even in their Terms and Conditions that they charge "foreign clients" more than "Polish clients"! Then when I ask my Polish friend to call them and find out about the same service - the price they provide him with is of course much lower.
I avoid these companies like a plaque. Very poor business behavior and short-term thinking of them. I know there is "a stupid born every day", but if these Polish companies think they are that smart.... let's wait and see who'll be laughing in the end when the free ride (and protection from the EU) is over.
Fortunately, there are many other Polish companies that treat all clients equally.
