Hi. Was wondering if anyone buys any of their hardware from America and if so, do you have any recomendations on good suppliers? Just looking for some blocks on the interweb, only to find that a ronstan orbit ratchet block will cost a little over $50 from the US. At a rough guess, that's about £27 - half price. I want to buy a fair few bits so this should cover the increased P&P costs and give me a good deal. Cheers, |

Watch out for Customs / Import duty ... Cost me something like £15 in Customs fees (payable when the item arives in the UK ) for 2 tshirts! ------------- Vareo - 149 "Secrets" http://www.TandyUKServers.co.uk" rel="nofollow - TandyUK Servers |
