Postal service?  About eight years ago I ordered four 572Bs from RF
parts in California (www.rfparts.com).  They came very well packaged
with no visible damage to the packaging.  They worked perfect.  I'd do
it again.

Just be aware that when the Parcel Force guy (or gal) arrives that you
will have to pay (from memory) 5% import tax and 17.5% VAT on the value
of the tubes.  You'll also have to pay the Parcel Force fee for
collecting this tax (around �5 I think).  If you can get them from
somewhere within the EU, you won't have to pay the import tax or VAT,
but then, they'd be more expensive to start with.......
