IKEA Belgrade - delivery to Bulgaria by Lisa PD
Hi - I ordered a two seater settee from IKEA in Sofia and was waiting for the three seater to come back into stock. It hasn't been in stock since November and when I called IKEA in Sofia they said that they don't know when or if it will be ...
Hi - thanks so much for taking the time to post. My husband agrees with you 100% but I'm afraid I've got my heart set on this particular settee! Yes, there are similar, but nothing exactly the same as this one. I'm the kind of person who can spend 4 ... Read More

Electricity bills by Lisa PD
Hello all,I wonder if anyone could give me some advice regarding electricity billing. I recently (March 2022) bought a flat in the Pirin Golf Complex and idiotically didn't enquire as to the cost of electricity here, as assumed it would be similar ...

@Peko Phil - thank you! 'Self-calculating rate' - wonderful expression. Yes, that must be the case, because I simply don't believe that CEZ charges 5 times the residential rate for commercial entities. Another person here told me that you can get a ... Read More

Hi Mel - thanks for your reply, but 380 lev a month is fantastic compared to the 1000 lev a month I'm paying for a flat. Even though the cost has escalated, surely the commercial tariffs aren't over 5 times higher than the residential/personal ... Read More
