cheap yes...what happens if it goes wrong?

im not putting you off, it is cheap, but im just saying what would ya do if you encounter a problem

i wouldnt be without my backpack...so well reccomend getting one

i just got mine from purefreedom, came next day and i know ive got great customer service there

Yes - but.  Perhaps one of our own suppliers can import them wholesale and sell them in this country with back-up. Even after adding on their 'margin' the pack would be a lot cheaper than it is now.

Here's hoping.

When you convert it from $ to £ it works out at about £118.44 then you have shipping and import tax to add on

I bought one 8 months ago and its been fine.

Suppliers are probabaly buying from him anyway

JOHN - At todays exchange rate the cost to buy is only about £80, but the shipping cost is an extra £40! - still a big saving though! I didn't know about import tax.

I've found these sort of price differences buying from the states before. I bought an item for my hobby (shooting antique and vintage rifles ) recently that was well under half price.

My son won't buy a CD in this country anymore he always buys from US or Dubai or whatever. Never seems to get stung for import duty either. WebCam arrived this week from Dubai, don't know how much yet till we get credit card statement but cheap ££££

I got 2 from that seller and never had a problem with them.

Import tax is hit and miss. Anyway, it was £70 for my 350 dollar tucker pole.

With the tax it still worked out loads cheaper. It will be around 16 quid. So for under 140 you can have it. There like 170 +vat +delivery in this rip-off land we live in. Buy one. But you will have to convert the end yourself.

Pump, 12 VDC, 1.0 GPM Max. 40-PSI Demand Switch, Polypropylene Pump Body, Viton valves, Santoprene diaphragm, Charger Automatic Sealed Lead Acid 120 Volt
60 Hz input (230 Volt/50Hz available), 12 VDC 500 mA Output

You might want to find out if the 230v 50hz costs more or is it the same price as I believe when using a converter the battery doesn,t last as long

[KarlJones]

The ones in UK have a USA charger with an adapter.

I will buy one of these in the future as a fall back for if mine goes on the blink.  Actually, thinking about it, it probably makes as much sense to buy one of these than buy an extra battery like some do.  That way you have a complete set of spares too.

Mr Bowen
Where did you get your pole from. I remember a few years ago there was a post about buying poles from America. I think a 63ft Tucker was only about £350

[geefree]

Hi , its a bit cheaper but only about 20 quid than having the peace of mind buying in the u.k..... i also browse the u.s sites , does anyone think this is cheap below. ?
