Is that over 100 UKPounds for the two parts?  That's almost twice what my RG-11 cost in total.  Admitted it was some years ago when the Pound was stronger, also Hydreon shipped it via regular US Post and I was "lucky" for the parcel to get through without any VAT/duty charge (as do most shipments from China).  Sadly the charge by the shipping agents for collecting the VAT/Duty is often higher than the tax itself. 

But if you're not happy about shipping an RG-11 in from USA then perhaps talk to Prodata about the cost of their shipping (free in UK).  In any case their website is a useful resource for details about the RG-11.

BTW this is not a "recommendation" to use the RG-11 or Prodata (I have no connection with either company), just informing of options that might be of interest.

Cheers,  Alan.
