I fully agree with Chris. I always try and source parts in the UK whenever I can (JE Spares first). If that's not possible then I shop abroad. It was nice to buy some Tresrey parts from Positivonegitivo in Spain recently with the knowledge that there would be no import issues and the parts arrived in three days.
