They are probably all sold by now. You would probably be better trying ebay, but be very careful who you buy off. They do pop up on here from time to time, but not at the Jessops price. UK stuff must be very cheap to anyone in the Eurozone due to the exchange rate.

I know this to be true because I ordered a few for home delivery and one is on backorder which means they have now run out.

Jessops have hundreds of stores and usually only one grip in each so that store has to be within driving distance. I had to drive 52 miles to Preston there and back to pick up the only one available near where I live. They may be available in some stores, but too far for anyone on this newsgroup to drive to.

Think you might have a job getting it sent to Italy. Seems a problem with your customs who insist on opening everything and a lot of goods going missing
Many Ebay sellers now say ok to EU apart from Italy

I too have sent items to Italy without problem. I think the customs issue only effects packages arriving in Italy from *outside* the EU, so posting from the UK should be fine.

Well just realised the Price on Jessops is £45 so with £9 postage thats £54 which is a £1 loss and that's without packing materials and a trip to the post office
Just agreed to send one to S. Ireland ... my bank charges £10 to accept a payment from outside the UK. (Im sure they charged me more last time though).

I will send to Italy and everything of any real value is sent Signed For and with the appropriate extra insurance. Most things arrive promptly and without hassle.
I suppose the question is whether or not any risk is more than compensated for by increased business.

Everything I sell on Ebay is sent signed for with insurance, no exceptions.I will send to Italy and everything of any real value is sent Signed For and with the appropriate extra insurance. Most things arrive promptly and without hassle.
I'm not the one paying for delivery so if the buyer doesn't like it they dont have to bid. Has saved me a lot of hassle in the past.

The battery grip is not avalaible for home delivery so there is someone that can buy it and ship to me in Italy? Another in this forum from who I must buy his b.grip(but it haven't all the options of the original) told me that the cost for the shipping is 9£ so I wish pay 44+9=53£ with paypal to someone that can help me . It is a gift for my nephew.
Many thanks to all can aid me.
