AFAIK, I'm the only one in the EU offering UOA5, which unfortunately don't have in stock at the moment.

However, a new batch is on its way as we speak, so if everything goes as planned, I'll have'em by the second week of october.

HTH,

I probably have a spare one stashed away. (No points for guessing from whom I bought it.) I am in the U of K.

Conventionally, the JB only requires one bar magnet.

HTH,

Can I buy from you when you have stock ? Do you have a website/store ?

Thanks.

I think AddictionFX sells them on eBay–I would think they would be able to ship to Europe...worth a shot

Yeah looked there but the shipping costs are just crazy to the uk. Why so high for such a small item I don't know.

Oh wow! That is crazy! I mailed a UOA5 and some hex pole pieces to a Forum Bro in the Netherlands for around $10...how crazy are their shipping prices?

Of course!

No, not yet. PM me your e-mail, so I can get back to you.

Yours very truly,

Its one thing to as a private individual do something, its another when its your business and you are trying to make money.

This is true–but AddictionFX from eBay sent them to me in a regular envelope which is the same way I sent it to The Netherlands for around $10 which is why I asked just how "crazy" the shipping prices were...

I emailed them about shipping a while back, my reply was:

"Thanks for your email.
We ship USPS Priority Mail for International orders. Cost is $28.87 per package. Weight limit is 4LBs(about 1.80kg). This is post office's rule.
You can add lots different parts in the package, shipping will always be $28.87 as long as the weight is less than 4LBs.

For your information, 4LBs covers the weight of about 60pcs bar magnets.

We do NOT recommend you to buy from us if you need 1 or 2pcs, shipping will be too expensive for you. Thanks."

They must be loosing business charging those inflated shipping costs. They are not normal shipping costs in my experience. Whether private or business, we all use the same shipping methods/companies.

I can't answer your actual question of the uoa 5. But there's a couple of sites i know for guitar magnets in general. Fermat.co.uk is the best I've found on price with them coming quickly. Axes r us and dragon guitar parts have some but like £4 each

Don't you mean cermag.co.uk? . Ye I've delt with them a couple of times and they have been great. There's no UOA5 listed on thier site though.

Its a very reputable US store. Google them.

If you are located in UK, you can look at cermag.co.uk

this are the polished standard sized HB http://www.cermagmagnets.co.uk/alnico-bars-for-hb---62mm-x-32mm-x-125mm-14-p.asp

The UOs seems to be currently out of stock, but there RCs too.

I've just ordered a couple from them so I'll see what happens. The postage is a lot cheaper than AddictionFX for starters.
