Hi!
I'm still buying from GWUK, I need to calculate things correctly, but I think it may be cheaper. FW is looking extrememly competitive right now too, so thats good for them in the long run.

Well let us know, "P"! ?
I guess I have a hard time believing it would be cheaper for me in the US to buy E-A from the UK!  ?
And we get free post in the US if your order is over $100.
Well with the E-A prices that is easily achieved!

Hi!
I have received one order with two more on the way from GWUK, once they are all in I'll give a cost breakdown analysis. But on the surface it seems cheaper, especially since the dollar is making a comeback....

I would love to see that as well. It seems wrong somehow that it would be cheeper to get stuff from the UK then here because of shipping. But if GWUS is too greedy, we then, I too will buy from the UK.

Hi!
Packages coming into Puerto Rico from abroad through regular mail do not pay any duties.
I dont remember paying any while living in the US for FW stuff either.....

I've ordered many times from F/W in the UK and never remember getting hit with customs either. I have a preorder pending and won't see it until June, however it does seem the postage is a little costly but not ridiculous... ?
However, I'm having a hard time coming to grips with the fact that GW-US is only a few hundred miles from where I'm sitting and GW-UK is on the other side of the Atlantic... and it's cheaper from the UK?

What does the cost of... say an ?E-A L/Russ or Basilisk from the GW-UK cost including post if any?
How does this compare vs. GW-US at $4.00 and $4.44 USD respectively?

Hi!
A leman russ company with shipping is 24 pounds.
Current exchange as of today is approximately 1.75 dollars per pound.
This means with shipping they come out at 42 dollars. Each tank is approximately $4.20 per tank.
IN the US its 47.50 including shipping for a cost per tank of 4.75 per tak.
Note that due to GW sliding scale of shipping costs, the more you buy the less significant shipping becomes, add to this that you get releases first from the UK and promptly, UK is coming out on top. Also you save lots more on bigger purchases.
I'll be shopping from UK, unless the archive comes back.

Well since I only order from G/W once I/we hit $100 (and at current E:A prices that is easy to do !) to get free shipping (yeah!), I'll stay with the US (damned Nationalist ! 
) ! L/Russ - US $4.00 vs. UK - $4.20 ...
