    UK Prices

    You know - this is a global e-mail list and I'm sure you have
    friends in the states that are willing to buy you gifts *wink* *wink*.

    Do the folks across the pond have to pay extra fees for gifts
    coming from the US? Aside from the additional shipping
    costs, I don't ever pay anything extra when I buy stuff
    from ebay.co.uk. Is it something special that happens
    in the US-> anywhere else transactions, but not the
    other way around?

    I hear ya! I ordered one from the slimdevices.com site for delivery to
    Ireland last November. The delivery cost was so high i was very
    reluctant but i did anyway, see costs below;


    Item
    Quantity Price (US Dollars)
    ----------------------------
    -------- ------------------
    Squeezebox Wireless Network Audio Player 1 $279.00
    Shipping:
    UPS Worldwide Expedited
    $55.82

    --------
    Total:
    $334.82


    The real slap in the face was when I got a call from UPS in Ireland to
    say they had an inbound package for me, but couldn't release it until
    I paid a 15 Euro *brokerage fee* for the currency exchange. Ba$tard$.
    Did I mention UPS are Ba$tard$?

    It would be nice to have a snail mail option.
