their insurance company wont cover it from british credit cads. So they would only accept wire transfer, havent got the redies to do that. So after doing some heavy calculations of exchange rate, bank charges and import duty and vat, if it got intercepted, I then lugged around hard on the net and each item worked out only to be �100 more by buying it here, plus I was getting new on both, the d70 and 12-24 both had guarentees, plus no charge for shipping from aj purdy. So in the end if they go pear shaped I have come back. So I wont do it unless I go there my self me thinks.
I have an idea they take "international" cards, though, like Amex and Diners Club. The financial news this evening said the pound closed at $1.93, which is pretty striking - will the dollar fall to 2 to the pound? At these rates, surely it's better value than ever to grab a cheap flight and stock up...
