Joan, I doubt it. The US companies are usually not that flexible. But you can always send them a mail and ask. They are very good people. Here is a similar company in Germany that might ship to the UK. They usually have good prices too.

Thanks Wolfgang, I had a quick look but as I don't understand German not sure if I'll be able to follow it, plus not sure that I can really afford the cost at present but will keep my eyes open in case something comes up cheaper than I've seen so far.
Some of the reviews I read about it complain about the space bar being quite difficult to make work so I'm still at the thinking stage with regards to purchasing one.

OK, if you need assistance with the translation, let me know.

Thanks, John

I mostly use Scan but I use eBuyer now and again if I find things particularly cheap from them. One thing I would advise though is to select the Super Saver delivery. It says 5 days but if the item is big enough/expensive enough they courier it anyway so depending on day/time of ordering you'll usually get it in a couple of days.

In regards to returns warranties etc I can't say. I never had to return anything so don't know what their process is like.

This place appears to be quite cheap, providing it is in the UK.
Price listed in pounds.

Microsoft B2M-00008 Wired Natural Ergo Keyboard 4000 Black Win32 English British USB CD

Used this method to get prices.

I use 2 different sites here in Aus to find prices of stuff i want to buy as a guide.

Yeah I order from them alot, even if you do choose super saver (5), chances are the delivery might take about 4 days instead, especially if its over a weekends (example order on thursday get it on monday/tuesday).

I also own that monitor your looking at, and it rocks ;<

Also another fine tip about ebuyer, if they say a product is discontinued, it doesn't mean that its gone for good.
It just means its probably out of stock, so, if your watching something on that site, wait a while if it discontinues, it might just come back.

Thanks for the reassurance eggyuk and Pieloi. I think I will give ebuyer a try

"Pieloi, Swede of Sunderland" sounds like a great title for an adventure story and Durham is a gorgeous place with lovely people
