Basic Saber Build list of parts

[GaleForceEight]

New to the saber scene here, and first post (eek!) I don't want to upset the powers that be, but the logistical/supply situation especially with regards to international shipping seems a bit ridiculous to say the least!

As someone who would love to be a customer some things that almost Force (no pun intended) people to look elsewhere for their wants are firstly that products are unavailable which pretty much seems to be most things in the TCSS catalogue, secondly no indication beyond "as soon as we can" as to when stock will become available. The third factor is shipping costs that cumulatively make piecemeal purchases for projects due to stock (or lack thereof) issues prohibitively expensive.

One solution would be to have a UK 'warehouse' so that components could be shipped in bulk and distributed out from a UK hub without having the inflated costs of individual orders having to come across the pond. If any of the powers that be want to have a chat about doing this (they may not want to go down the direction of having a UK/European distributor for whatever reason) it could open up their products to a larger customer base that is being cut out by the reasons being given above; and it would be an interesting project to try to make it work.
