    Ukhammocks sells down, it's £25 per 100g I think, don't think that's cheap, but I don't know where else sells. if you get it imported there is import duty and i think vat to be added as well!

    650 fill (700 US) if you scroll down there are cushions, £24.50 each or 4 for £85 with 320g of down in each one.
    I work that out to be about £7.65 or £2.20 per ounce.

    Not sure about shipping overseas, but here in us, its pretty hard to beat the prices at wildernesslogics. http://wildernesslogics.com/850-Whit...n-850-Down.htm I ordered some a few weeks ago and have been very happy with the product and service--------they even package it for you in 1 or 1/2 ounce envelopes so its really easy to use! Goodluck!
    FYI: If you want to know what type a certain bear is, sneak up behind it and kick it. Then,
    run like crazy and climb up a tree. If the bear climbs the tree and eats you, it's a black
    bear. If the bear just pushes the tree over and eats you, it's a grizzly bear : )


    Do not walk behind me, for I may not lead. Do not walk ahead of me, for I may not follow. Do not walk beside me, either, just leave me alone.

    feathertex.com might be willing to ship it to you. I would suggest contacting them.
