As with everything in the UK we suffer from the exchange rate balance effect plus import duty and VAT at very significant levels.
It's not the UK importors getting rich it's the government.
I've known Jamie for many many years, first met him at Rory Cull's house when none of us were old enough to know anything.
What I can assure you is that Jamie is not only one of life's genuinely nice blokes but that he also does everything he can to keep the products he distributes at the most competative prices possible.
I run Sanwa gear as a normal customer, no connection to SMD at all, and have to say the kit is amazing quality, well featured and whilst the price is a little higher than some out there I've never felt I've not got what I paid for.
Oh and I've never needed SMD's returns service, probably never will (neither are you likely to) but I KNOW for a fact that if I ever did I'd get service the old fashioned way and would be pleased with the outcome.
