I wanted a couple of sierra stylus pens:

Choice 1: Axminster, £7.50 each plus shipping (currently £1 but usually a fiver).

Choice 2: Timberbits, $6.50 (roughly £3.30) plus $5 (roughly £2.60) shipping.

Forgetting for minute that shipping stays fixed no matter how big your order is (or yes, Mr. Smart Aleck, that both offer free shipping over a certain amount), that means that I can order ONE pen kit from a supplier 9,443 miles away CHEAPER than I can order it from a supplier 105 miles away ...

I may be naive but how the h*ll can that be????

Anyone who says TB kits are lower quality hasn't been living on this planet very long. there is no rational explanation.
