What to get from America (again...)

[blockers]

Hi.

My mum is going to america on sunday.

What stuff should i ask her to get?

Im quite interested in a PSP and an iriver mp3 player. How much cheaper are they over there compared to UK prices?

Thanks

Will.

stuff that can be tacken out of its original packaging so it looks like its hers...it'll look a little obvious if she came over with something in its box etc.

Doesn't matter, personal import allowance has gone up to £1000.

Has that definately kicked in yet? I was in Canada about 6 weeks ago and on my return all the posters said that the limit was still ~£150. I was told that it doesn't take effect until 6 months after the budget announcement...

£1k allowance? hmmm...photographic equipment is cheaper over there...I wonder...[me ponders feasibility of trip across the pond to return with more photographic kit that would otherwise cost a bit over here.

If you're bothered about watching UMD PSP movies from the UK, don't get a US one - they're region coded like DVDs. If you just want to play games, they're region free, but I got one from Japan for full compatability (Region 2 like UK, USA is Region 1).

Trainers are still a good buy
