It would have been worth asking one of the current UK Gotoh dealers if they were able to get them.
Ivan does not say that his friend went ahead with the order; I suspect not. If so RS has lost a sale whilst 'sensibly protecting himself against chargeback' by asking too much for postage. I have never known a posted item from the USA to UK to go missing so why is protection needed at such a cost? I have always found Elderly to be very reasonable in their postage charges (although I nearly always have to pay import tax - which is levied on the postage charge too, by the way). It sounds like the Mando Store are similarly helpful in not going for the default overpriced services such as UPS and FedEx.
