I know that most transactions on this forum are ConUS and Canada, but some of us buy (and sell) from the UK. There's a natural reluctance from US sellers to trust sending expensive equipment to the UK (although the distance from east coast US to California is no different) probably because of concerns about shipping costs, Customs&Excise duties, 'lost' items and being ripped off.
It would be really helpful for those of us that would like to buy from US sellers (despite the current exchange rate :() if those transactions that went smoothly could be recorded, so as to demonstrate that 'cross-pond' selling was worthwhile and risk-free (normal precautions of course).
I understand and accept that there is a reluctance to ship overseas because of a perceived inability to control and/or rectify the transaction. However, I would hope that all UK buyers who have a history with POTN are trustworthy, but I realise that there is still some doubt, hence my reqest for this 'feedback' section.
Thanks to all of you that have trusted me over the last year or so. I have very much appeciated buying from you and I hope that the satisfaction has been mutual.
Kind regards,
Simon aka Phideaux
