| Personally speaking as a retail business owner, businesses in the UK have told me that when I order merchandise to figure twice the amount conversion from US currency as it is falling rapidly. I forgo the extra in country tax, but then have to pay a very large shipping and handling bill. I personally think that if you go with a local in house business, or a very large business that turns over in volume, you will get a far better deal. Most legit businesses who order larger quanities in turn pass on the savings to their customers which in turn move more inventory. The gas prices are hurting the world over and forcing businesses to add an extra percentage to cover expenses. All this equates to a larger final bill for the consumer at large no matter where they reside.
