Re: Spaceships American Style?

How willing are companies when it comes to requests to knock the VAT off
the top?  In additon, how do we know what merchants are including the
VAT?

Brits want our money. ;->=Another myth that needs debunking is that it
costs more to order overseas. In the case of larger companies, their
prices include VAT which can be deducted for non-EU orders; this is
usually enough to offset some or all of the shipping costs. Another
point to bear in mind is that if you were to buy (say) UK products from
a distributor in the US, you may not pay as much in direct shipping but
then they will probably cost more model-for-model since the dustributor
will have built another layer of profit in. 

  And yes, we do want your money ;-)
