I made a request this morning with no charge. They said it would take 10 days for them to get a quote to me. So hopefully by next week I will know how much it is going to cost. I have asked for mines through Documents Online so I have already saved £10.
I will let you know how it goes when they get back to me. Do you have an example of what the pouches contain?

Sorry for the delayed reply but I was making use of having the wife and kids shipped off for a day.
It was over 2 years ago that I did it so it's a bit sketchy and it might have changed a bit now. It was done through their digitizing department:

Basically I have to make a request and pay £10 up front. A month or so later they came back with a quote and I paid it then was sent links to the 4 PDFs I'd paid for to download. I would say that at that time anyway they would not reveal what the pouch contained which really worried me as I thought I may be splashing out alot of money for something that could prove useless. The pouches as far as I know do not all contain the same thing.
