voltage converters so you can use your US products in the UK
« on: February 12, 2014, 11:43:09 AM »
Hello, we are moving back to the US and have the shippers arriving soon.  We have a number of converters, I use them for my kitchen aid stand mixers, all our electrical appliances, PC etc.  If anyone needs one, let us know I can post all the details.  we live in Devon, but can mail them.  We have a very high powered one and several small ones.  High powered ones cost £150 new, we would like to get £45 for this plus postage.  Thanks B

What's the rating on the transformers? (I'm assuming a transformer, not a converter.)

What's postage likely to be, based on weight?
Married December 1992 (my 'old flame' whom I first met in the mid-70s)
1st move to UK - 1993 (Letter of Consent granted at British Embassy in Washington DC)
ILR - 1994 (1 year later - no fee way back then!)
Back to US in 2000
Returned to UK July 2011 (Spousal Visa/KOL endorsement)
ILR - September 2011
Application for naturalization submitted July 2014
Approval received 15-10-14; ceremony scheduled for 10 November!
Passport arrived 25 November 2014. Finally done!

Hello, sorry about delay in replying.

The large one is 1,000 va - yes it is a transformer.

Quite heavy - I checked the postage and it was around £12 to mail it out.

The smaller ones are also transformers - use them for toothbrushes, hi fi, pc and tv equipment, they have an output of 300 w.  They are lighter, so I imagine slightly less postage.  We have one large one and 3 of the smaller ones.

My email is babsbufton@gmail.com, if you email any more questions I will see them as they come in.  We are currently living in Devon but moving back to Chicago.

Thanks and again sorry for delay in posting replies.
