CB Gitty sells stuff here on this site. I don't know about shipping to the UK and how much it would drive the price up, but I would contact him and find out.l

Try Gitty, if he is willing to check into the shipping its not that much, I ship stuff for my wife internationally and it surprises me at how cheap it is depending on weight and location. Its worth looking into, his tuners are cheap.

Hello Neil and everyone. 40 sets, depending on the style, would be pretty heavy. There is a 4-pound weight limit for first class mail international, after which it has to jump to priority mail. My guess is that the 40 sets would be over 4 pounds, but they could fit in a medium flat rate box, which costs about $42 to ship internationally. Might be slightly cheaper to send as regular priority mail, without using the flat rate box, but I doubt it. You would also be responsible for any customs duties and taxes on your end, which from what I hear can be fairly substantial.

 

That is the cheapest way I know of to get a small, fairly heavy package over the pond. As for the tuners themselves, at present I could do 40 sets of economy, gold enclosed-gear and skull tuners. You can check them out here:

If you are interested, I can do up a custom quote on 40 sets, which would reflect a decent discount over the normal individual piece price.

$42 for 40 sets, that works out to only $1.50 per set.  Depending on the great price Gitty gives you that isn't so bad when you average it in.  Ben I will be waiting for my commission check when the sale goes thru,  : )
