the cheapest "proper retailer" is gps wharehouse they have there own range (about £20), but they are usually half the price again if bought on ebay.

 

yes stuff is much cheaper from the US, BUT if it gets picked up by customs expect to pay import duty of 5 or6% and VAT on the total including the import duty! you'll probably be lucky with a lead, machines I think they will spot!

Duty and VAT should only be applied if the value of the goods is over £18. If the item is a 'gift' and it is marked on the package as such (hint!) and the value of the goods is under £36 then again Duty and VAT is not applied.

AND the £3-£5 the postie will charge you for paying the customs charge on your behalf. You should also find the uk sellers will get you the lead quicker than from the states. (and credit card companies will charge 2.5% commission on foreign currency transactions) but US is cheaper :-)
