My friend runs a UK-based motorcycle clothing website at www.dexdirect.com
and he's had loads of USA orders over the past few months - the exchange
rate makes his stuff very cheap for Americans.
So I guess the answer is - probably! Just watch out for shipping costs. But
remember you shouldn't pay VAT (UK sales tax), so if the company is honest
they should take 17.5% off their prices for overseas.
But... you may have to pay import duty when it arrives in the US.
Also remember, the voltage and frequency of mains electricity is different
in Europe - in Britain it's 240v, 50Hz. So you can't buy a UK deck and have
it work in the US. Portables are a better bet - just get a suitable adaptor
for your AC.
Happy shopping!
