kdad Posted October 19, 2006 Share Posted October 19, 2006 Anyone know where i can buy grippers in the UK. I am fairly new to grip training having bought my first grippers a month ago. I've got a COC T and #1 which I can close and a #2 which is so darn close but i'm looking to buy more. thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mobsterone Posted October 19, 2006 Share Posted October 19, 2006 Both Pullum Sports and London Kettlebells sell Ironmind grippers. You can, of course, buy grippers by mail order from overseas. I have used www.rb-germany.com for Robert Baraban grippers (do NOT use www.handgrippers.co.uk a company I previously owned a share of) www.wwfitness.com for Beef Builder / Warren Tetting grippers and finally www.heavygrips.com I'd suggest buying 2-3 to make the shipping worthwhile and ask the senders to mark the packages as gifts or you might pay duty.

TomY Posted October 19, 2006 Share Posted October 19, 2006 ask the senders to mark the packages as gifts or you might pay duty. Why's that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mobsterone Posted October 19, 2006 Share Posted October 19, 2006 It's self evident in my reply. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MARKR Posted October 19, 2006 Share Posted October 19, 2006 ask the senders to mark the packages as gifts or you might pay duty. Why's that? The nice men and women of her majestys customs like to add import tax to an order from overseas.You will also be charged a handling fee( which can sometimes be higher than the customs charge) by Royal Mail.If as Mobsterone says and the package is marked down in value( ie under around £20 in value) or as a gift then you can avoid the charge Ive paid alot of customs charges so factor that in when buying from overseas.Sometimes however even with a customs charge and additional shipping some items can be bought cheaper in the US than in the UK Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
