Re: huanshop2015
Greg,
has it right - there is no substitute for research before buying. I am awaiting delivery of two items from my wife's niece in the UK.Why - rip-off postal charges to France. 2 x BNC plugs - postage in the UK - 98p, postage to France £10.61 + 90p for the second. Brought this matter up via Ebay/mail. Told the seller I would have the items posted to a UK address. Without consulting me the seller cancelled the order telling me I would have to pay via the huge rip-off Global Shipping Programme. He explained that he would haver to pay Ebay - 95p. So Ebay were going to charge a total of £10.86. I sent him another Ebay/mail - why didn't he take care of shipping himself. Next day I looked at the item on Ebay - shipping only to the UK and the postage was now £1. I also bought 2 x aluminium cartridge screws (part of lowering effective arm mass) postage - free in the UK but to France - £3.60. So, if I was a chump I would have paid out £15 + , as it happens my wife's niece has sent the two items with tracking  . @ £2.80Just had a packet from China - 25 3mm plastic stand-offs @ 99p post free.
