yeah, i had heard about that and that is certainly
a good tip. on the other hand, there is shipping
charges and time to be dealt with, but i'm sure it would
still be less expensive via the international route.
i just didn't want to hassle w/buying my suit
long distance. i shopped around statewide by
phone just to confirm that i got a good deal
on the suit, but i did want to get it from someone
local in case i needed to have it serviced
and i would have a local source/distributor.
good shopping tip, though, thanx!! for mentioning it.
another place to look would be canada for the same
reasons, but also b/c--unlike w/england--our dollars
go further up north. i forget the exact canadian/u.s.
exchange rate, but the dollar is stronger
than canadian currency, whereas the british pound
is always stronger than the u.s. dollar. another
consideration to take into account.
