NEW PRICES FROM 22nd FEBRUARY 2009
In recent months the £GBP has dropped some 25-30% against the value of other major currencies and signs are there will be little, if any, improvement in the near furure. As we pay Euros and USD for most of our stock, new supplies are now costing substantially more. Clearly this increase could not be absorbed for ever and we have no alternative but to adjust prices. We calculate to bring us back to the stuation a year ago (covering currency changes, general price increases and more expensive carriage charges etc) we would have to increase prices by more than 40%. However by absorbing some of the extra costs and spreading the changes over the whole range (excluding literature and current sets) we have managed to restrict it to just 25%. I'm satisfied we are still very competitive against the few renmaining on-line suppliers, and of course we still have by far the most comprehensive range!

As we have some 5000 prices in our catalogue we had to use the blunt instrument of an accross the board mark up, we have further fine tuned some items, trimming quite a few more expensive items, but slightly increasing a few cheaper items.

In theory all existing "shopping carts" should self correct at the point of checkout. However we have had the odd unexplained anomaly, so to avoid delay with your order, please check the prices are current before completing and re enter if necessary

Overseas customers will find that our prices are generally, if anything, a little lower than a year ago, but unfortunately UK customers will be paying a bit more, for which I sincerely apologise. If the currency rates return to their previous levels, we will make the apropriate adjustments.

Please note: Due to the volatility of the current situation, we are not able, at the moment, to produce an updated printed price list. Please refer to the website for up to date information and prices.
