Avoiding rip off britain

I’ve been looking to buy a 3 “C” cell maggy, however, on all the UK sites I’ve seen, they are around £20, double what you’d pay for one in the states.

I saw a site a couple of weeks ago where they were being offered for £13, but me, being a d**khead, somehow deleted the site from my favourites, and now I can’t find it again. Can anyone point me at it please?.

I’ve never seen them that cheap in the UK when looking. Did it include VAT & postage?

I’ve got a vague memory that post was about £2

Was it this site?

Good price for a solid host!

Thanks for that woody, I went to order it, but found that the crafty buggers added post and vat at the checkout, taking the price up to the same as the rest!!.
I’m now looking at a cree Q5, 3 “C” cell zoomy at 7 day shop, a nice looking light for £15 all in.

This one, you have to put in any details to view :wink:

And every single one of them is out of stock. Read price rise.

Fed them a throwaway Hotmail account (My 90th I think) to see the prices.

Sorry didn’t check stock :* I just put a@a.com or something, doesnt matter it gets you in. I hate websites that make you enter details, much rather they just link to PP at checkout.

Oh well, pulled the trigger on the Q5 3 “C”, now comes the hard part!!,…… waiting,
also got a C3 SS on order from DX, been 25 days now, starting to get a bit anxious.

“I hate websites that make you enter details, much rather they just link to PP at checkout.”

You and me both, I won’t do it!, (their loss)

Depends on the site, but one site wants date of birth…. yeah thats going to happen! I was born yesterday …… details and dob………. talk about high risk!

I use a special bank account for on-line sales with strict orders to the bank that what is in the account is the absolute limit on what goes out, it is also at a different branch to my main accounts. Only put in what I spend, no more.
