Hi,
I ordered 4 blue hoppers from BusyBee, the total charged to my card was
about 45 pounds, including about 14 L for shipping. Must have been less
than 2 Kg. I still think that a hopper for $18, net in my hand is a
bargain.

Mike Stanley is correct about the shipping, it tends to be expensive. I
have placed two orders with BB. In both cases the shipping back to the US
was about 50% of the total cost of the sets I ordered minus the VAT.
Looking at a fax confirmation for an order I placed last week, the total was
£84.75 and shipping was £41.75. On the last shipment I got I noticed that
BB used international delivery confirmation so this might explain why
shipping is so expensive. When I spoke with them I asked for cheaper
shipping options and was told this was the only option.
