Yup they do. TB's figures are about right. The only way to beat them is to find a cheaper way to get the tower here which will inevitably be slow. Not really worth the effort - especially as having TB's backup and help is worth a few extra quid anyway.

Ive bought loads of stuff from Mike and for a UK supplier (and I dont mean that in a boad way!!) I have always found him VERY well priced.

However sea freight would be massivley cheaper than airfreighting. I import containers from all over the world and you can bring a 40ft load from th US for approx $3000 divide that by the number of towers and other bits you could fit in and the freight would drop right down. Even with a 20ft container their would be huge savings.

Mike - Im not trying to "teach my grandmother to suck eggs". I sure you have reasons for airfreight.

The real shi*ter is defo the goverment another case of leagalised theft!! They deserve nothing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


And its almost £1.00 per ltr for fuel robbing t*ats. Rant over!

Yup truly annoys me that the gov often make more on a sale than I do... Gotta love the E.U!

Dave - Totally know what you mean. Only used the Air freight as an example because I'd not trust a tower to go ocean freight.. too much time to get busted.

I try to ocean freight when poss but generally filling a 20ft container is pricey.. so it's only a 2-3 time per year deal. the rest just has to be air freighted until I have a financial buffer built up.

Steepsand - really appreciate your support and glad you understand where I'm coming from

Right, it's friday night and I'm on a forum.. time to go put my feet up!

Cheers guys,

Mike
