Dollar to Pound
Have you seen the exchange rate at the moment?
A dollar is worth 60p currently.
Can get a new Rol-Plow from the States for £136 delivered.

watch you don't get stung on the import duty, some couriers (fedex, ups) have also started charging personal individuals comp processing charge - basically a paperwork fee - depending on the product value and country of original manufacture.

Haha - you're fine if you are smuggling it in a suit case Beermonster!! it's when folk order online from States then next time they speak to me they are surprised that their £100 order ended up costing another £40 to clear customs! plus the new handling fee added by courier is a killer - if you have vat deferment accout and import licence and you are bringing containers of tools in then you should be fine !
who you trying to send mini taper back to?? ( i often have returns going back across the pond)The Uk's No 1 Drylining & Plastering Tool Store
