You drew my attention... at first I thought it said stories and you were insulting us, lol.
Perhaps it is cheaper because many of the products are being made here or shipped her first, then back overseas. I know our shipping methods are usually more expensive than the ones available to you in the UK, so depending upon what you are buying and what the price difference is, it may not be worthwhile. What type of products are you referring to?
Best wishes.

(1) First question - in UK we just get screwed - by the shops that sel the expensive stuff and the Tax man. They know it would cost too much to post - and you may even incur tax charges when stuff is sent over to you any way...so it's generally not worth bothering to 'import' stuff...besy way to get the cheap prices is move to the US...but bear i mind they earn less...so it won't be much of a gain
(2) Second question - no

It will almost never be cheaper in the long run, because you will have to pay U.K.'s infamous VAT on anything over 100 pounds. Yes, to you everything in America is cheaper because your money is stronger than the U.S. dollar. I was sick when I had to buy a starbucks latte in the U.K. a few months ago. It cost me about 8 bucks!

I extremely have mine with me on a daily basis. inspite of the reality that I do artwork in a foul neighbor hood. there are multiple regulation-abiding American citizen who do carry a weapon WITH THE hid carry enable! The courtroom homestead supplies regulation-abiding electorate, who bypass a history verify, a hid carry enable. i would not say that maximum human beings of people carry hid, yet there are multiple us. maximum human beings do no longer tell absolutely everyone that they are donning. What you do no longer understand won't injury you. the common American with a pistol enable is a efficient member of society, a patriot, and all around reliable human beings. you need to understand that a brilliant number of the taking photos completed over listed below are completed via gang participants with unlawful weapons, loopy people who take weapons from others who're permitted to have them yet do no longer amazing lock them up (Sandy Hook Shooter), or basically all around undesirable people who some how get a gun off the line illegally. the place I stay a gun is in basic terms a gadget. We circulate out interior the back backyard (we live interior the woods) and shoot .22's at pop cans. Is that extremely terrible? Yea I extremely have my weapons for secure practices even though it is likewise a interest and a relatives custom. We continually practice acceptable gun secure practices! I extremely have been taking photos considering the fact that i replaced into 5 years previous, I extremely have never shot absolutely everyone or something that I wasn't meant to shoot. I desire all and sundry had the prospect to adventure aim taking photos. that's lots exciting! no longer in basic terms do we use our weapons for aim taking photos and self protection, we use them to seek. We never purchase steak or hamburger from the food market. We wait til searching season, circulate out and purchase our searching license, and circulate out and get a deer. 2 deer can feed my relatives for a year, consistent with threat even longer. searching additionally enables keep the deer inhabitants down, so as that they are no longer accessible leaping in front of autos. This united states could have never got here to be if it wasn't for weapons. Our founding fathers positioned their blood and sweat, actually, into coming up this united states for us. i think of greater individuals could desire to appreciate that!

LOL-- well, I looked anyway!
I am not totally sure of the answer, but if I had to guess, I would say it has to do with trade tariffs.
Do you have a friend in the US you can send it to and then they could send it on to you?
I wouldn't do that too often though, or there are probably penalties.
Geeze-- death and taxes!
