Comes to 14.90 inc delivery

DMT fine diafold:

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00004WFTN

Comes to £16.89 inc delivery. Yes it comes from the USA, but no duties to pay as it is under the threshold.

If you want one of the more expenve (dual sided) diafolds, it is much cheaper to bring one in from the USA. Amazon will even pay the tax and duties on your behalf and you will still save £20.

Diafolds are superb. Just bought the extra course for £13 something off ebay for taking out chips ect. Been using them extensively for a year or so.

Good prices. just for clarity the limit is £15 for imports so the fine hone could get hit. its not so much the VAT they would add but the carriers processing fee is usually £10 or so.

This is true, but if there is tax or duties to pay, amazon tack those on for you automatically - basically pre paid. In this case they did not. Not sure why, but I don't think will get hit with duties. I think amazon bulk ship this stuff over anyhow, then re-post locally.

Test it - order this on its own and you will see no duies. Order a dual sided diafold and you will see duties tacked on for you.

Ah i see. Clever Amazon, i didnt know they did that for you. My apologies

Ok, it looks like they base it on the value of the goods rather than the total paid inc shipping:

That would explain it
