I'm considering a Laser Comp at the moment and was a little surprised to find that it appears to be cheaper in the US than UK!?!?!

Over here I could get the tent delivered from Amazon for $350 which at current exchange rates is £216.

In the UK Amazon has the tent for £280 as do Cotswold. Ellis Brigham has it priced at £255 and F&T come in cheapest at £220 in their sale!

Seems a little strange the a UK made tent should be cheaper in the US, not that I'm complaining mind!

Springfield camping £218

What about tax? Sales tax in the US is generally lower than VAT.

Well also a Brit in the US, I bought my TN LC from Springfield, good service if don't want to buy via Amazon.

Springfield may sell without VAT, more than offsetting the postage to USA. Some dealers will some wont, email them.
