McMaster-Carr only ships to addresses in the United States, and even if they did, the shipping from the US to the UK would be prohibitively expensive and slow. I'd suggest finding a supplier in the UK.

if you really need to. you could try postage forwarding (in other words paying someone to ship it from the US for you)

Let me reiterate a point I made: shipping from the US to other countries, especially for large and/or heavy items, is impractical. Distributors of parts exist in other countries, that is, unless your country is in the bronze age. You just have to do some research.

The UK Spud gun community has more specific recommendations for those in the UK. From what I know, essentially everything McMaster-Carr sells has an equivalent available in the UK (aside from differences in dimensions).

Have a look at http://www.hendersons.co.uk/Pipework2/index.html and http://www.trssupplies.co.uk/index.php?cPath=134. I've never used them so I can't say what their service is like; I just came across them on the UKSGC forum.
