I do not live in the UK and Hamilton Classics are not easy to deal with.

Is there product worth the hassle?

Their rubber macs and capes certainly look like they're good quality - but are not cheap. Ayshea Dwyer (rubberrainwear.co.uk) has featured them quite a lot. I know Ayshea is friends with the owner of Hamilton Classics. I am surprised to hear you are having hassle dealing with them. I don't know why that should be. I do know they didn't even have their own website until recently.

They don't use credit cards for a start so that's an issue transmitting GBP from elsewhere and the cost thereof.

Well, that's a pity. Looks like Hamilton Classics are going to lose a potential sale. Indeed, you are probably not the only one from overseas who would be interested in their products. I am not sure how much additional expense it would be to get the payment to them in another way, but given that they are not cheap to begin with, that is obviously something you have to consider.
How silly! They are shooting themselves in the foot there.

For example they wanted 5 GBP for their brochure but it would have cost me more than $40 to get my bank to send it.

Now Hamilton would have credited me the 5 pounds for an order but not the money to send it.

Go figure!
