Mathmos in USA

[Verax]

Hi all, I'm in the US, and am trying to get some Mathmos lamps. Has anyone tried UKAddress.com? It seems like it is reasonably priced, and exactly what I'm looking for. Thoughts?

Cheers!

Thanks for posting this, Brian.  I'm giving it a try, and I'll report back on what it cost me to have them ship the yellow/blue Fluidium.

Interesting. I'm curious to see how this pans out!

Finally!!!  Maybe a way to have Mathmos lamps shipped!!!  I hope it's not too costly.......

Hate to double post here, but here are some other alternatives, but READ THE REVIEWS AT THE BOTTOM OF THE PAGE!!!  Some said that the one service was VERY expensive!!

 

The UKaddress.com does charge a sign up fee while other bigger companies do not.  I scoured around on the ratings for this company and it seems like the owner is hiding his IP address.  No one really knows if it is because he doesn't want span, but mixed reviews on this one guys.  Some signed up and lost their sign up fee.  Some reviews say it's ok, but they might be the ones that are generated from the site itself.  I would shop around, compare rates, sign up fees, reviews, things like that.....

I'm going to give this a try as well. I'm surprised to one has done it yet! Now the really hard part. Deciding on which one(s). ;)

[Carol]

Just scour the web and  try to dig up as much info as you can on the company you choose so as to avoid being scammed or ripped off!!!  I'm one for always jumping on to one site before I do my research and it sometimes doesn't end well, lol!!!  That's why doing you're research on these companies is the best way to go.  It seems that some require a "start-up" fee and others do not.  I'm wary of places that want you to pay just to "sign-up" for a servce........but that's just me.  Good luck and let us know which one you are going with.

Indeed, I see some mixed reviews for all of a few different services.  That being said, at least one person has had some success:

I just signed up, and will be giving this a whirl.  :)

Nothing will be cheap from across the pond.  I have several lamps from the UK from current collectors.  All arrived safe and in one piece. Packed with loving care and correctly.  High shipping will be part of the game.  At times have paid almost as much if not more to ship than the actual agreed upon price for the lamp.  Good luck to all in your endeavors.  UK lamps are much better quality over the now defunct Lava Lite product line.

good luck, and if you don't mind, please post your experience and overall impression of the service when all is said and done.

I definitely will! :)

So far, I signed up for the service, got an address, placed  an order with Mathos (Heritage with a black base, and Orange lava).  I'm waiting for the shipping details from Mathmos, to give to the ukaddress.com site.  Will keep everyone posted on progress.  :)

I'd like to know specifically how much you're paying to get this lamp here, so if you could share that when you know, that would be great! 

[Verax]

Yeah, I'll add in the full breakdown as it occurs.  I will admit that I payed the extra 5 pounds for next day shipping.  ;)
