Buying Rolls from the USA
By Mike Nichols

I wonder if any other UK readers have the same problem as I do in
buying Ampico rolls from the USA and, if so, how do they overcome it?

Perhaps some US subscribers can advise me of what the problems are in
shipping to the UK.  My latest problem was with an eBay (UK) listing
for a couple of rolls that I purchased via PayPal and then the sale
was cancelled.

I am happy to pay import charges when necessary but for one or two
rolls I am not charged import or VAT anyway, so is there a problem
at the US end and am I being unjust (if rather annoyed) by refusal
to sell?  I never complain about postal charges even if they do seem
rather high as if I want a particular roll I am happy to pay a fair
price.

Mike Nichols

 [ Does anyone offer a service similar to "freight forwarding"?
 [ I suppose it would be an entrepreneur who enjoys mechanical
 [ music and is willing to risk defaults.  Many who sell rolls
 [ don't want the risks of selling and shipping abroad.  -- Robbie
