I can never really see the benefit of buying stuff like this from the US. As you've found out, you can suffer either delays and/or hidden shipping charges.

I got my Pakshak towels from a UK distributor - can't remember who but details were posted on here - and whilst I may have paid a bob or two more, the transaction was quick and painless ...

Pakshak are not fans of shipping, they also have UK distributors. Which charge exactly the same but in UKP. Something to do with fair trading

I've started buying stuff like that in the MASSIVE Tesco near me. They've got a good selection of cheap and reliable MF's and and MF polish applicators there (when I say polish I mean polish, not Polish).
I've drawn the line at buying their Turtlewax stuff though.

It got a little wash when I took it for a service today but that left me a little annoyed because I was under the impression that any half-arsed wash would make it more difficult to keep spic and span in the long run which I could do without.

Someone make me feel better.
