Agree the dollar rate is not so great now and for the saving is it worth the risk?
If you know someone who is travelling by air soon then get them to buy you one from Dixons Tax Free stores at the airport. The prices are less VAT and cheaper than anything you can get on t'internet. They dont even need to be going abroad. I got mine from Edinburgh airport when flying home to East Midlands - Bargain
