I've just ordered some RCBS headed decapping pins from your side of the pond and it cost me $6.50 including the shipping and they'll be delivered in 5 days,to buy them in the UK would be the equalivalent $19.97 and would take 10-14 days, the outlet is less than 100 miles from my home.

Rip off UK, you bet.
 
Re: UK costs

Been that way for a while, too. Back in the early '90s I was a marine mechanic down on Florida. We had a gent from your part of the world who would fly over to get parts for his boat repair facility. It was actually cheaper for him to fly here, stay in a hotel for a couple nights, order the parts, and pay to have them freighted overseas than to buy them locally. He also managed a little holiday time that way, too.

(Of course, to avoid import tax, we had to get "creative" with the descriptions of the package contents...wink wink, nudge nudge, say n'more!)
