manufacture and reliabilitry.

I think we are discussing sourcing the same thing for less, outside
UK.

Italian chandleries are not the cheapest - VAT is quite high in Italy (can't
remember exact figure) also their freight costs are not cheap, and they are
also not well organised for online sales. Things are only cheap in Italy if
you got to some dodgy little shop behind the docks in Genova and pay with
readies, then you can get stuff like very effective antifouling at a good
price (stuff they use on big ships). The cheapest onlline chandlery that I
know is www.svb.de - which is in Germany.

The risk in everyone doing this is that we will drive our local
chandleries out of business... I'd rather pay a little bit more for
the fact that, in an emergency, they know me and will pull out some
stops to help, whereas a distant mail order box-shifter can't and
won't.

AFAICS you are correct.

Add George Kniest in NL, but GK doesn't seem to be interested in sales
outside NL.
