we ship S/D s to the US.. some with a bottle of wicked liquid.. up to now it takes about a week to arrive.. the run up to christmas might slow things down thow we dont know..

the pound dropping in value against the dollar makes buying from the UK a good proposition at the moment..

shipping neednt cost that much.. we ship anywhere in the world for £5..

makes you wonder why some other suppliers dont offer shipping that cheap...even for smaller items...

ive received stuff several times with the postage amount printed on the envelope,and the amount i actually paid for shipping was scandalously more than it actually cost to post...far more than the packaging and postage combined could possibly cost...so of course its just more semi hidden,profit boosting rip off tactics...

fair play to you for being honest about shipping Trog...im sure you could easily ask twice as much and get it...

some use the postage as part of the profit darcy..

it not so much that they make more it simply makes the product seem cheaper..

ebay has a "cheapest first" search.. a screwdriver shipped to the US costs about £6.. normal airmail it would be only about £3.. the sign for option adds to the cost..

to the UK its £5.05 for special delivery before 1 pm the next day.. again it could be half this without the guaranteed next day bit..

the £5 quid anywhere in the world is just to keep it simple.. £6 would be nearer the actual average cost..

some people just dont really want to ship overseas so they load the postage costs to put people off whilst at the same time pretending they do..
