330 + postage/shipping + VAT @ 17.5% + Import Tax @ 6% Makes it just about not worth it.
Support U.K. retail stores for stuff that's readily available, for stuff that you can't get over here (e.g. Palmers stuff etc) by all means go Stateside.
Plus there's more chance of your kit coming over from there being fcuked up en route than either going in a picking it up or getting it mail order from somewhere in the U.K.
This sort of thing really annoys me.
