Got this from a post on the Equipped to survive forum. Thought it might be of interest here. $10 plus shipping seems cheap as chips.

i have not oredered from them before. i would expect them to be professional with shipping etc big organisation. I'm not into their polictics but then i respect their views own guns. anti tank rockets and M16s are a bit over the top but the population over here views knives with horror. Guns rarely kill people. people kill people.

As far as I can see from their website, add $13-95 to the order, so that makes $23-95. £14-00 seems an absolute bargain for the Ultimate Survival basic kit that sells for about £40-00 here. Am I missing something? Will customs sting me hard?

Customs might sting you but in theory there should be no charge if the goods are of less than £18 in value.
However the packet will have the dollar price and the post office are not that sharp and will sometimes charge you if is has a figure of more than 18. I have had some of the most fantastic incompetence from the post office and if you complain they stick their fingers in their ears and pretend they can't hear you.
The charge is a percentage but they also charge a set post office handling fee of £4.95 which was more than the customs charge on one packet I received, amazing. The guy on the complaints line didn't see a problem with charging me more to handle a fee than the fee itself :shock:
On the other hand I have got stuff before with no charge when it should have been quite a lot and then the post office is a fantastic British institution

PS apologies to any posties here you do a great job.

Will do. The order's just gone in and the total price was indeed $23-95. They reckon on 2 weeks to ship to UK. I'll pass a sitrep on arrival.

That'd be $23.95US so in your currency the figure's about half isn't it? Do you send a money order in dollars? Just curious how that works. BTW, the wife is ordering two of them, one for each of us. It's such a great price, I wouldn't be surprised that they disappear in a hurry.
I made it £14-00 Sterling. I paid by credit card, so the banks will sort it out anyway. I agree it seems an amazing bargain which must go quickly, so I wanted to get my order in pronto! If it works out well and there's any left by then, I'll get some more as presents.

The price includes a carry case, blastmatch, wet tinder, jetscream whistle and star flash mirror.
That is a good price and I wish I'd known before I bothered ordering from the US. That said, I can't find the item on Blacks website, so I'll have a look next time I'm near one of their shops.
