There is currently a 2-3 week lead time, but they are worth the wait. Gorgeousness.

Expensive? Not really.  ...

Banzai shipping prices start at 7.95 euros to the UK (about £6.75): 
http://www.banzaimusic.com/shippingcost.html

So total cost from Banzai for 1 cage is 17.95 euros (about £15.27)

Doctor Tweek shipping is currently fixed at £2.00 to the UK.

Total cost from Doctor Tweek for 1 cage is £15.29

So the price is about the same depending on the exchange rate 

Oh, and there is currently no lead time as these are in stock

PigyBoy...and yes, nice and cheap - but watch for the hidden costs; 10 Euros delivery to the uk    So... not the deal @ 19.95 Euros = £16.94 on todays exchange rate.

Sorry to bang on, but I know how much these are from the factory and a margin for business time  / effort has to be found somewhere. Some sell at a realistic price with reasonable shipping charges, others sell the unit at cost and pile on the shipping to make the mark. I guess I could sell these at £7.00 if I charged £7.00 shipping

I don't live in the UK. What are you usual shipping costs to Portugal?

I've only ever had good experiences with ordering from Steve (Dr Tweek).
Great personal service and very reasonably priced.

I've not ordered any of these cages though, I'm still trying to decide what tube OD pedal to build.

I'll second the above about Steve - all of his prices are more than fair and his service is always brilliant! P.S check the documentary on the home page - watched it last night and was quite good. Not sure what was going on with the guys constantly changing, strange shoes who was doing the demos though...

Agree fully with these guys, Steve offers a great service even to myself in Ireland
