Now i'm certified, I want to order a couple of MS polo shirts so I can walk around the datacentre looking like a right plum.

I went to the MCP store, - only $12.99 for a polo shirt, - lovely price I thought.. - but the shipping is bloomin' $40 !!

Is there anywhere in the UK I can order MS merchandise from does anyone know?

Not that I am aware of, the shipping fees have put me off ordering from the MCP store as well.

Check with your local Microsoft folks mcp@microsoft.com should be able to tell you for sure.

I know you can find some of the same shirts on EBAY-

I bought a few polo shirts for 1/2 price-

maybe try there
 
Yeah, - ebay looks to be the best bet, - although i've just had a look on there, and got a better view of the polo shirts, and they look decidedly cheap n nasty!

After going around the houses i finally got a response (just now).

PJamesD,

How funny :)

I am in Florida and bought a photographers vest online from Great Britian and paid only $7 postage.

I also bought router parts from Hong Kong - same thing - postage was not bad at all.

I can not believe that it would cost Microsoft anywhere near $40 to send it - are you sure that is not the option where Bill comes out and fits it for you himself ;-)

I would send a letter or email to Gates or Balmer themselves and at least thank them for the support - I mean it is advertising for them - with the cost of exams they should give you one :)

Good luck!
