Homebrew PCBs

Hi,

It isn't the exchange rates that are a problem it is customs duty and VAT @
17.5% then add in the postage. I have bought a lot from the States and if it
is under about $50 and sent from a friend they usually let it through.

Regards,

Terry


Thanks Andy & Cristan -

Yes, agreed, stung by \ufffd10+ import duty does sort of make the UK
purchase option the best buy all round :)

No, I didn't realise about the $1=\ufffd1 'conversion' - unfair, I'm sure
you agree.... so much for foreign exchange rates.
