I use ebay shop "mymusicstuff" even after shipping from Usa, costs are well below anywhere I've seen in UK. Here's a link [url="http://stores.ebay.co.uk/MyMusicStuff_W0QQssPageNameZstrkQ3amefsQ3amesstQQtZkm"]http://stores.ebay.co.uk/MyMusicStuff_W0QQ...sQ3amesstQQtZkm[/url]

Thanks for all the suggestions.
I decided to go with Tempo's idea, bit the bullet with paypal and got 4 sets of Fender 8250/5m strings for £51.70 delivered. Lets hope the tax man dont demand a huge slice on delivery!

These guys seem cheaper than just strings et al.

I recently bought a set of Short scale Ken Smith (GHS) roundwounds for my Epi Rumblekat and they were cheap (US$16 a set) and the real deal.
To Australia they charged US$16. Just strings and Bass emporium were trying to charge US$35 for shipping. Quite ridiculous.

OK in an update for any Australian or Kiwi forum members I recieved the following email from [url="http://www.bassguitarstrings.us"]bassguitarstrings.us[/url] after ordering some strings from them:

[size=1][i]Hello Bret,

This is just a note to let you know that we've given you a $10 rebate on your order (which shipped today) so that the total charge is $26.94 and not $36.94. We charge a flat fee of $16.95 for international shipments. Your package cost much less to ship, hence the adjustment.[/i][/size]

US$26.94 is Aus$31.30

This is super cheap for a brand name set of strings here in Adelaide (or even Sydney for that matter).

Full credit to you bassguitarstrings.us for honesty and thanks! :)

I placed an order yesterday, and wish I'd seen this thread first, but Status Graphite's prices are still competitive. This time I've ordered some half-wounds for the fretless 4, and a couple of custom sets for my 5-string Hohner B2V. I'm converting that to High C again, 25-105, since the low B is weedy and didn't get much use by me anyway. :)

No nasty import tax either so I'm a happy chap.

Cheers for the info Tempo.

Sounds good!
Thanks for the info Tempo & Wazz.
I've just ordered 2 sets of DR Hi-Beams from MyMusicStuff - at half the price I'd pay from Stringbusters.
I'll report back when they arrive...

The 2 sets of DR Hi-Beams I ordered from MyMusicStuff have just arrived - ordered on the 19th so took a week from the US.
A fantastic price ([b]HALF[/b] the price I'd pay from Stringbusters!) - & a week delivery time from the US (postage $10) is OK by me.
All-in-all a total 'no brainer'! It's like 'buy one get one free'!
The best place I've ever found for strings!
Many thanks for the tip guys!
