I should say, in looking at some British links, then at ebay, I would
guess it would be profitable to buy off ebay, even when considering the
cost of shipping!!! (Exchange rate of British Pound to the USA
Dollar--or, ~2:1)

It is not difficult for me to beat the ebay price (when the shipping
cost is taken into consideration) in my town of "Stockton, California, USA."

It leaves me wondering just who does purchase this merchandise off ebay?

Regards,
JS

I gave up trying with aquatics-warehouse. They never answered a single
email enquiry and every message I submitted using that stupid
automated help assistant website they use (when the link was actually
working!) was either ignored or closed without being answered.
I'm not going to waste my time with mickey mouse outfits that treat
customers with such contempt. I only give one chance - they have lost
my custom for good.

In the end I used aquatics-online for my supplies and received an
excellent service. They were also the only supplier that stocked ALL
the items I required and delivery was super-fast.
