I live in the uk and i'm about to purchase a new set of irons. I was
hoping to save some money by buying online from the US. Can anyone
recommed a reputable dealer and advise as to what the likely import
duties maybe? I have been looking at the Rock Bottom Golf site. Has
anyone any expirence with this store?

I've dealt with Rockbottom for about 3 years and they have been great. Not a
problem and communications has been good. Their stuff is catch as catch can,
but if you know what you want you can get some good bargains.
I'll give them an A+.

Heya
What does this mean? I have seen this phrase before somewhere I think,
but have no idea what it means.
Thanks

I think the expression is the equivalent of 'hit or miss'
meaning that some of the wares are good and some not.

Import duty is about 8%. Add that and the shipping costs on, then put
VAT on the lot. A rough estimate for total costs is the purchase price
of the clubs plus a third.

Just a suggestion, don't know that it will work, but you might "shop" at
any u s
source(s), going through the ordering routine, up to the point of
clicking on the
order button, and get a delivered price quote on the items selected, i
e, a pro
forma invoice.This should give you an idea of the cost.

You might get better answers as to shipping/duties on uk.sport.golf.
I know a few of their posters have bought clubs in the US and either
brought them back to the UK with them or had them shipped.

Here's another place. They'll also do phone orders, in fact with phone
orders you can sometimes negotiate things even more cheaply than with an
internet order.

You might also ask some of the club makers in the group about whether they
ship overseas. Maybe one of them can make up a set of KZG irons for you.
