No, you are not my father...
Good luck! I hope it all goes smoothly!
My guns; BSA R-10 (.22), BSA XL Tactical (.177), BSA Lightning (.177), Gamo CF-30 (.22), Gamo Cadet (.177), Cometa 100 (.177), Gamo P-800 Pistol (.177)

I was looking on a usa site and the TX200 was £100 cheaper than here where it is made. Incredible isn't it?Originally Posted by Cynabal

Not really. One thing the Americans won't do is willingly and happily pay OTT prices.
We as a nation seem to revel in how much we have paid and there are always plenty of people finding excuses and giving reasons why our prices are as high as they are.
We are our own worst enemies on this score.
Just look at the way prices have increased since JSR, BAR & Uttings have had to stop selling mail order. It's not all due to the £/Euro exchange.
Walther CP-2 Match, FAS 604 & Tau 7 target pistols, Smith & Wesson 6" & 4" co2 pistol, Crosman 1377,
Baikal IZH 53 pistol, Gamo CFX Royal,177, Umarex SA-10 CO2 pistol.

Another example, Gamo cfx is about 100 quid in usa, in rfd last week they wanted £210 for the Royal
If it had been about 150-180 I'd have bought it.

Well its been seven days since the shop in the states sent this and i still havent received it, the USPS website says Your item left the United States from ISC CHICAGO IL (USPS) at 11:10 AM on August 22, 2008
So im guessing its probably in the UK by now being held by customs, swines! still a small glimmer of hope i dont get charged so i got myself a real bargain.

Mine was with Fedex. It spent about 5 or 6 days seeing the sights around the usa, then suddenly it was at Stansted, and I got it the next day.
I thought I'd got away with duty etc, but a month later Fedex sent the bill
They pay the duty for you so that they can charge 7 quid admin fee. No SAE either, bloody cheapskates.
It's all worth it in the end

Whenever I've ordered air gun parts from the US via USPS it has taken 7 to 10 working days so about 2 weeks. the quickest was 10 days total. if you have a tracking number it can follow it here I had to phone up with the USPS number and got a uk tracking number. a year or so ago I had a watch sent from Indonesia it took 4 days to get to the UK and sat in the customs in the Chingford sorting office for a week then arrived unopened with no duty to pay.
