Digital Camera

Options
Hi, I've decided to buy this HP Photosmart R817 digital camera. It's currently on half price to £129.99 on Argos. On another site I found it for $169 but they won't post outside the US. Does anyone know of any websites in the US that buy stuff for you and then post it down to the UK for a small fee. I heard there's a site like that. Cheers.

    Some will - but beware, you might be "hit" with UK Customs and Excise duty - when the item arrives in the UK, this might negate the saving your hoping to make.

    Yes.. most stores in the US will post to the UK but then you have to consider the bank charges for paying in US$, vat and excise duty for bringing it into the uk and then finally you may need to buy a new charger/ plug for it due to the power differences.
