Don't impulse buy on cheaper items without shopping around. Because a $5.00 item extra in your cart will probally add more in shipping then the cost of the item. But it is hard to find a better deal on filter prices even with shipping.

Will use them again!  Did you get charged duty and VAT by HM Customs? Also, how much did hvStar charge you for postage?

I'm thinking of getting several items, so if I have to pay multiples of $9.99 or whatever it is, it's going to mount up quite a bit.

So if a filter is $70, just think of it as being $80. Derek
