Has anyone in the UK bought parts from Mini Mania in the USA just wondering do you get clobbered heavily for import tax. Many thanks Ian

I don't imagine it would be worth doing that. The only case is if they have parts made themselves. Anything else is being shipped there and then back adding to the cost.

What are needing to buy from MiniMania? I am in the US and have been able to get everything from MiniSpares or Somerford - usually MiniMania is more expensive, even with shipping

Agreed, I placed an order there thinking it would be the best option, but now I am back to buying from Mini Spares. It has worked out cheaper including the shipping, and I've had quicker delivery, too.
