$8 to the US; I get books and CDs from the UK for $4 including S&H thought Amazon.com, granted, those outfits do it in bulk, but I wonder why it's so much more.

Tron-Club, which ships kits, packets of electronics and a manual once a month from Canada, will ship to the U.K. for £3.99, or £14.99 total vs. $19.99 to the US (http://tronclub.com/subscribe http://tronclub.com/subscribe).
- CraigJPerry 11y agoTron club looks awesome, I just subscribed. Thanks for sharing this
- hga 11y agoYou're very welcome. They make a few mistakes which they correct (on the forum and then ship with a subsequent kit), but they're otherwise totally awesome, just got my 7th kit. Here's a prior HN discussion: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=9889777 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=9889777 and per my comment, they do indeed do a moderate amount of analog.
- jrjr 11y agoCan't even bother to localize to the US for shipping. someone isn't telling the whole story eh ? call me when it's 0.49 to ship. jrjr
