Ordering cartridge from overseas

I have done it in the past; no duty on a new $400 cartridge from England.

Great. Thank you for telling me.

Many times it works, especially for a small item. However, often the exchange rates and bank transactions fees do not offer any significant savings. For years I have purchased items UK manufactured from the UK. Presently the exchange rate is not that favorable, but when it was I often saved 30% from what the item would cost in the US.

Like Viridian, I've ordered from Thakker in Germany, twice actually. Echoing everything Marty said, an extremely easy person to deal with, and goods were in hand in under a week.
