I was sent this link http://interesting-devices.com/asp/product.asp?product=182 It's apparently still for sale, but he wants 16 pounds to ship one to usa. Anyone in uk curious and willing to pick up a few and resell to us in the states? You can put me down for one.
Shouldnt this be in the contact a local for help thread? Out of interest is his quote still £16 to ship several? I snt a pack via ground with tracking to npt or nem and it only took a week and cost £8 - it was also probably larger and heavier than one of those, so I guess he is only sending via airmail tracked or doing a lingr style EMS only mentality. Any idea what he charges to ship to the UK? I'm only asking because if it is expensive for him to ship locally (for example special delivery has a base rate of £5), there would still be the cost of shipping them abroad plus the £4.10 charge to ride the bus into town and back and paypal fees to cover. After all that is paid for you may only save one or two bucks. EDIT: Depending on how much bulk there is, you may be better off organising a bulk buy, getting several shipped to you and redistributing from there. Attached are pics of 10 shipped to the UK and 10 to the USA for comparison - with standard shipping it only costs £2 extra to ship directly to the USA, whereas the cost to me, the £4.10 bus fare (local post offices closed down), PayPal fees then shipping cost to you will be far greater. To ship one he charges about £4 for shipping + tax within the UK via standard delivery, then £4.10 to get into town, then it will probably cost another £6 to send it to you, then PayPal fees on top to boot so it will work out about the same, or if there is a saving it won't be much more than a dollar or two.
Thanks for the link, I have been looking for one of these for ages. Ive just bought three so will have one spare, ASSEMbler you are welcome to it in the way for thanks for the link. I can ship via airmail for free (well my work account) so no worries about costs otherwise tracked post would be at cost. EDIT: Well it appears they do not have any.. Unless someone has just ordered them all? Dan
