Title: [IC] UK HAKKO FX888D
Post by: RoastPotatoes on Tue, 21 July 2015, 17:38:27

This is a UK GB as it is from one of the two UK suppliers. This is from the Grosvenor Group and they have said they can do a 10% discount for the purchase of 10 stations. However, these are still quite pricey. The price I was given was £94.95 + VAT. With the 10% discount the price is looking to be £101.52. I believe this is the cheapest option in the UK. This is not including shipping so it will be slightly more.
But if there are less than 10 people than I don't see this being worthwhile. I just keep coming back to this station.

I gave up on this. I bought one from proto-pic (http://proto-pic.co.uk/hakko-fx888d-blue-yellow-digital-solder-station/) if that is of any help. With a student discount it came to 107 as they have free shipping over 50 I think.  Highly recommend them as they have great customer service.
