Each time they were delivered to me here in the States I paid 30 pounds ($44.22) S&H and a 3% to US Customs. I didn't have to pay a broker charge of $50 that I know about. In both cases the service has been impeccable and the prices can't be beat as far as I can see. (The only draw back that I've seen so far is that I've got a meter only focus scale on my Skopar...it matches my Jupiters in that, but I still think in Feet and Inches.) Carpe Luminem, Michael
