Boe-Bot Parts in the UK?

Hi All,
Having just purchased a Boe-Bot thru Ebay from the States, I was wondering if there are any outlets for Boe-Bot accessories in the UK?
I noticed Parallax sell some parts on Ebay but the P&P is $65 which really negates any Ebay saving and puts me at a distinct disadvantage to my American cousins.
I purchased a Crawler kit from Parallax in anticipation of Boe-Bots arrival and with P&P even that works out at circa $60 in total.

The folks at the link below are located in the UK and I suspect they may have what you may be looking for:

Thanks for the reply, I had found that site but could only find the kit and not the accessories, listed on the Parallax site specifically for the Boe-Bot.
I also found this site:
http://www.britishrobotics.com/
But they are far too expensive for accessories - They want £46.55 +P&P for the Crawler kit
You lucky people in the States can buy them for· $17.95

Congratulations to Parallax on their turnaround times. Assuming you didn't process my order until Monday, my Crawler kit arrived (UK) this morning (Thursday) and I have built the kit. All I need now is my Boe-Bot which is also coming from the States (Not from Parallax)!

Now looking forward to the Pbasic and component elements......
Incidentally, had to go out and buy a serial port PCI card as the "no name" USB to Serial converter I purchased previously just doesn't work!
