Re: [doc] Shipping and Duty from US



The consignment stock would be an excellent idea - sending a reasonably 
large stock of parts over, reducing shipping costs per item, then pay DMCH 
as they are used from here.  However, this is assuming DMUK have space for 
such a large stash, of course!  Also, it would be necessary to conduct some 
sort of surveu to determine what parts were 'commonly used', and focus on 
these - I'm quite sure DMUK wouldn't want to have to pay to store a shed 
load of stuff that they sold one of per blue moon.

Just a thought...
