Desperate 4 zumo-where buy UK now? walk in..

OK, so its Christmas eve. I leave for Africa on New Years eve. I see the prices of the zumo have dropped to a more realistic 500GBPs - and will probably continue to drop in January (as did the Rider). I've decided to get one for my trip - but either nobody stocks them (Halfords, Dixons, Currys etc.) or I can only find sellers on line - where I'll have to risk the delivery ie. next day (but sweating).

I live up North (Newcastle) does anyone know anywhere I could walk in and buy the zumo? I suppose shops wont be open till 26th, 27th - but I'm travelling to Liverpool - so could hit that area or manchester or of course N,Castle area.

Any ideas - dont want to leave for Africa without it!!! as travelling alone and will certainly take some of the stress away...

Go to http://www.pricerunner.co.uk/ and stick Zumo in the search

Blokestuff.com reckons it has 30 units in stock, of both the 500 and the 550.

They are located in Huddersfield, West Yorkshire and might allow a pickup directly from their warehouse?

Don't forget you'll also need the Morocco topographical map download.

Hi, don't know if this helps, but I was gonna get one off ebay from this lot, then I checked their website here. They are based in Sheffield. You could give them a ring and see when they're open.

Curious that they are selling the 2820 for less than the 2720.

Try this lot in Cleveland / Teesside:

They are scheduled to be open after Boxing Day too.

Handtec seem to be the cheapest at the moment - under £400 for the Zumo 500 with Euro maps

Great service too - they delivered SWMBO's Nuvi 310 in under 3 days
