I ordered a GlobalSat BT-338 from the above store on 13/4/05 and received delivery on 18/4/05. Special offer included Arkon Universal PDA mount. $201 including postage to UK. Excellent service and wonderful piece of kit!

I would also recommend this company to anyone considering prchasing GPS kit.
I ordered a Gloabalsat BT-338 from them on the 19th April. They contacted me by e-mail asking for further details of my bank for credit card verification. They also mentioned - as it does on their site - that I could pay by Paypal. I chose this option rather than wait for verification as from previous experiene with other US companies this can delay the process a few days and I'm too imapatient to wait for new toys!
A few hours after making the payment I was e-mailed a tracking number for FedEX.
It arrived today - 21st - at 10.20am with the added bonus of a vent mount for the PDA and a 30 day trial of Destinator 3. Total Cost $201.96 (£105.00)
Needless to say, this company will be getting all my future business regarding GPS equipment.

I too bought a GlobalSat BT-338 from them, at the same price. Delivery was fast (let down only by the idiot FedEx driver who couldn't find our house. This was on a Friday, so I had to wait until Monday to collect it from their depot. Grrr.) and it was well packaged, with a reasonably decent mount included. I also paid by PayPal - very convenient.

I would be very happy to buy from them again.

Did the same - Ordered Mon 18th arrived 8.00 am Thursday 21st - even with Credit card verification , impressed with kit and service. Incidently I ordered a hx700 + some bits from a UK company at the same time on a next day delivery and it arrived 20 hours earlier (but I then had to collect from depot because they did not wat to deliver to my work address even though buygpsnow did)

Don't be too hasty! Crying or Very sad

I collected my GPS from the FedEx depot on April 18th. Today (May 17th), out of the blue I received an invoice for £26.35 from FedEx (£21.85 VAT plus £4.50 Administration Fee).
