[sdiy] meters from farnell

[Julian]

Thats an £18 purchase.
Plus the 15% uk vat. (£2.70)

Say if they weigh 600g, packed, the airmail would be £7.66

Then the 4.4% +25p paypal (i assume) transaction charge (£1.50)

So, your costs from someone ordering, even without any good-will gesture, 
would be £11.86.

>>but there is an automatic $20 handling fee added to the order

20 U.S. dollars = 12.3517787 British pounds (and thats the median rate too - 
i doubt if paypal's rate would be as good!)


Grim as it may be, the saving probably isnt worth it : (
