Today I received a KW-Trio 6-hole punch from Holland that does A5 paper. It took less than a week to arrive. Bought this from www.Hummelman.com. The standard postage on the site is about 18 euros but on the advert they said they do it for 12. The honored the lower price and so the total price was 23.95 euros about 21 UKP.
