Hi Paul,

I couldn't find a UK supplier of vactrols and I spent some time looking.
I ended up ordering some from a well known US supplier, however I
strongly recommend that you try and find a friendly list member who is
prepared to buy then for you and ship them to you in a jiffy bag.

My 20 Vactrols were wrapped in plastic envelopes wrapped in packing
paper and sealed in a brick sized box, itself wrapped in plenty of packing
paper and sealed in a large cardboard box 1lb15oz!!!.
28.75USD shipping!!!! 
Parcel Force charged me 15UKP for customs clearance fee on top of
the VAT and import duty because of its nature and size.

I went ape at the electronics supplier to no avail. I can only guess
the packing dept were having a laugh.

regards..


Keith
