Cel books in the uk?

I got a shipping quote of $14.50 (international letter post) on the same book from a different seller, it comes to around about ?15 in total with the book price and everything. The price is $12.95 for the book.

If
I can't find it cheaper elsewhere this is the cheapest I can find so I was going to get it from there.

Thanks again. I've asked the seller for a shipping quote based on 2 of them, and then I will order them.

Hello friends, so this is where the Brits are hanging out? heh
Like BevHippy says, it's hard to find suitable folders with are achival quality and are the correct dimensions. If it's not A3 or A4 sized the salesperson will look at you as if you're talking a foreign language.
There are a few specialist UK mail order companies that deal in achival materials but I've seen 'similar' books sell for ?30+ each so you're better off buying from the US as the dollar is particularly weak. The Ebay links that have been posted are pretty good. It's always best to get Airmail shipping quotes before committing to a purchase as some sellers will mail the item via EMS automatically and charge you $50+ for the privilage of sending a couple of books.

[b]Top shipping Tip:[/b] If an item's value is truely over GBP18.00, approx US$34, Ask the seller to declare the package as a 'Gift' worth $30 only. Otherwise you're liable for UK Customs Fees, Duty, and Tax which ammounts to 21% of the item's value. Royal Mail will slap on a clearance fee of at least ?6 too so watch out or you could be paying too much.
*As a Royal Mail employee, perhaps I shouldn't be saying this* Ha Ha!! The fools!!

Must be a lucky fluke, dandy_sephy ^_^. I've been stung by customs duties on two things; first I didn't know anything about the limit (was new to buying from abroad) and the second time I forgot to ask the seller to put a lower value on the customs document. Luckily it was reasonably cheap although I could have done without it.
