As the title says,

before i go an order a load of spares from Jetsam, does anyone stock anything in the UK.

or does anyone want me to add anything to the order (to share shipping)

Rich Stevenson @ deep blue tech seemed to have quite a few bits and pieces in, like o-rings/ADV diaphragms etc when I did my CK course last year.

I'm not sure he sells them commercially but if you were after a couple of 'get you diving again' bits he might be worth a shout :-)

I found Jetsam's service was so fast that it wasn't really worth keeping too much stuff spare. Last thing I ordered was a new MAV, ordered on Monday, here on Friday. Not bad for a 5000mile trip.

Cheers,

Stuart

Presumably, buying from Jetsam, you'll pay VAT and Impoty duty when they arrive in the Uk.

I know how much the VAT is, whats the current rate of import duty?

Cheers,

Gary

I think it's 4% plus having to pay the Royal Mail something like £13 for ****ing up your delivery. It's a shame that parts can travel 5000miles in a couple of days only to end up in a postal system only slightly less efficient than the Azerbaijani mail.

Or as the Royal Mail's website informed me a couple of weeks ago "you can only track your parcel once it has been delivered"...

My buddies and I normally bulk order between us when we need bits, as others have said Jetsam are so quick and so far (touch wood) haven't ever had anything we needed out of stock we've been alright. Also if one of us needs a part in a hurry, chances are one of the others has it spare.

If you need something fast Jetsam can send by fast delivery option but its costs more of course.

If you need something super-urgent (like today/tomorrow) I'd ask on here, 9/10 someone else will have one you can buy/borrow and or replace for them from jetsam if they don't need it urgently and you do.

Its not super urgent, but i was hoping to book on some dives for next weekend, and would rather not do it unless i have the spares i my hand.

Dont suppose you have an ADV stem in your spares box do you?
