Hi,
From my calculations, as long as shipping prices are under $45.00, getting
these sets shipped from the US is cheaper. Including my local sales Tax of
5%(1) and a VAT of 17.5%(2), the total comes to $143.06 (before any postage
costs), which is a lot cheaper than $188.81 (approximate US conversion). You
all may want to think about finding people in the US to ship these sets to you.
Your American Friend, Jeff
(1) Many states have a higher sales tax, so make sure to include that in any
calculations you make.
(2) I think this is the right percentage, but please correct me if I'm wrong!
