I too have been frustarted with UK prices and availability. As an example, I recently bought a router from the US, recommended by Kong (cheers mate). Makita RF11-01.
I could have bought an inferior model in th UK, less powerfull and only 3/8 collet. For £249.00 delivered.
I got the RF11-01 including paying $80 shipping, import duty, and I had to pay an extra £10 admin to UPS on top of the import duty. After all that, it came in at £190. Still £60 cheaper that buying a lower spec model in the UK.
