Bought an inline sprayer from them recently (mytee slimline injection sprayer, it's on mytee's website).

I was curious about the working pressures so I asked plenty of questions beforehand, stating that I planned to use it witha 135psi portable and would this be OK.  He replied that "The manufacturer said it will work as low as 50psi" so I tjought great I'll have it.

Useless piece of poop just dribbles, it obviously needs to have a decent amount of pressure, I'd say at least 250psi.  I even emailed Mytee and asked if this is correct.  They basically told me to take it to pieces and check for any blockages!

Buying stuff that you know from an overseas company is great - as long as you know what it is, you've used it before or it's something that hasn't got the potential to be crap when you receive it.  The postage is prohibitive to return things to the states for a refund, you might as well flog it at a loss.

i just made a 'ghost' order on the a & m site, the order came to 122 dollars and the postage was 148 dollars, is there an optimum order value to make it worthwhile because although their products are much cheaper than we can get them for, with that postage what's the point

If you want to order more than one thing, contact the guy directly and get the shipping cost, he may be open to negotiation.

After having my fingers burned I'd recommend you only order what you know will be OK and not have the potential to disappoint you, posting it back for a refund just won't be worth it!

clinton, the 148 dollars IS the delivery charge but if that includes any vat, then that is re-claimable,

just imported some gear from America got the delivery charge that was exactly what it was then you get the other charges.
1 import duty this varies depending on what the items are.
2 vat.
3 airport handeling fee.
4 ups documentation fee.
5 delivery charge from uk airport to your destination.
In my case i knew all this before i bought my gear so just make sure you know exactly what they mean by DELIVERY good luck Freddie
WELL I NEVER !!!! WELL MAYBE ONCE OR TWICE
