yeah I know, but you need to add 17.5% (VAT) to your items from America, the delivering company will charge you it!

You've missed the point? When you buy in America: it may seem cheaper but when you get them sent home you have to pay 17.5% on the doorstep and postage isn't cheap. So you'll find out that the price is pretty much the same.

UK does not use Euros, we us British Pounds. We haven't changed currency yet.

Prices are pretty similar most of the time, but US shops have good sale prices.

We certainly do use the euro here in the UK but I thought the Argentian Peso was the currency in the US??
