Anyway, if you're in the UK try:

Can you buy new pads (pad upgrade kit) from Europe.
I'm not too excited in paying 180$ for pads, plus shipping, plus import costs.

just recieved this..

Dirk-Jan,



We just got the pad sensors in and I can ship yours out as soon as we receive payment. Regarding extra taxes etc, we ship through USPS and we can claim it as a gift to avoid high customs fees, but once it leaves our shop we can’t control what extra charges are applied. Please send your credit card info (including exp date, cvv code, and billing address) to pay the total of $209, or you can pay a total of $215.27 to [email protected] through Paypal.

Thanks,

Best Regards

Nicholas Lejeune
