Purchasing TFFM in the UK

[Brian100]

Does anyone know if you can purchase TFFM in the UK as the only copies I have seen for sale are all in the USA mainly from Seawatch Books. Many thanks.

SeaWatch is the sole distributor, Brian.

You can also find copies on the Advanced Book Exchange http://www.abe.com but they tend to be more expensive. however there may be  copy in your neck of the woods so postage may be less.

Thanks druxey and dvm27 for your help, looks like I will have to get them one at a time.

I purchased them from seawatch- post from USA is expensive but considering overall cost for a POF scratch- worth every penny

My news sources are too awash with domestic news to feature this,  but has the UK pretty much finally  cut the painter and is floating alone as a market? 

I see an opportunity for UK members form a co-op here to see if a single mass purchase of Sea Watch books and Byrnes machines would reduce shipping costs. This is an idea fraught with danger for the one advancing the money.  There tends to be some who start with enthusiasm but back out when money comes due.  Up front money first is probably the safer way.  An ideal situation would be if one of you had more money than sense, and became an authorized wholesaler/ distributor. "Depending on the kindness of strangers" is a really bad idea for a wholesaler when determining how much to order.  This sort of comes down to -how badly does a bunch you want this?  It only will cost time to explore it.

I thinking of buying the Naiad books and I live in the UK. Does anyone know if duty is to be paid?

I am not too sure but I think books are free of duty, they are certainly VAT exempt c so you may be lucky.

The joker in the deck is the carrier's admin charges on top. If it is sent via post, the RM Post Office will collect any duty + a couple of £ 'admin'.  However, if the package is sent via a commercial carrir you will almost certainly get charged the duty + their admin fees, usually £20 to £40. There is little hope of arguing the point with the carrier, it just goes to a collection agency and gets nasty.

So, from experience, ask before placing the order.
