Aye pfr. I certainly don’t see the final cost for this item (just a twist pen – looks like a kit job but nicely truned and finished and lovely wood) as worthwhile with the £15.89 (£8 of which is “handling”) tacked on.

It’s been a while but I’d probably still use Chinese firms on Amazon for some things. Silly things like a drive coupler I used on my Windmill order. Sort of thing you can pick up for a couple of quid that way but IF you find a UK firm stocking what you want, it would be more like £20+

On higher priced items I do believe a brother priced things up and considered a personal legal import of a particular Chinese phone he wanted (apparently very high spec but a lot cheaper than the Samsungs and Ithingy - but what do I know, a WhileyFox does me) worth while.
