Ta Matt, sorry to be iggerant but don't want to screw it on my first trip . Ta muchley for the carryong hand.

 

[MattF]

Don't worry Elen the only way to screw it up is to burn the wood down then it could do me a favour

Jacko is gonna be well chuffed with that. Id take the Pi$$ but i know how long he's been tarpless

Hmmm ... will have to go direct I think if I decide to get a Cloudburst.
£96 incl US postage, plus whatever they add on here ... not bad

Yeah I'm thinking the same, it's a shame as I'd rather give my money to Mat

I reckon you're looking at £20 import tax plus £8 RM charges on top

 

[ex-member BareThrills]

Im currently trialling a US shipping forwarder. so far so good with comms and my parcel has been posted. They charge the actual postage price plus a fee of 3%. More importantly they ask you what value you would like declared for customs. I'll do a full review if it all goes well but essentially i now have a US address.

Ditto with regard to Mat but not to the extent of not having the tarp I want. Paul's doing a trial so wil watch out for his report. Maybe we could order 2 and see it that comes any cheaper ???

Yup ... see here ...
Tarp: Cloudburst (olive brown) - Silnylon $110.00 quantity2 $220.00
Item total:$220.00
Shipping and handling Shipping and handling: (to ) loading$45.00
Total:$265.00 USD

It's $40 shipping for 1 tarp, only another $5 for the second ...

 

[MattF]

I have got a favour to ask could I have a hand making the table please not had chance to do it with the chaos at home
