Sounds great, but don't forget about possible customs charges when it gets
to the UK.  I don't know what the rules are, but I do know that one parcel I
got from the States came through un-dutied, but another a few weeks later
(the same size etc) had been opened by customs and had 8 quid tax slapped on
it (which the Post Office are supposed to collect before they deliver, but
they didn't, thankfully!).

Still, I don't suppose even VAT etc can eat up such savings as you quote!
