Hello Jim,
The figures are "cheaper" because customers from outside the European Union are not required to pay VAT. The prices are clearly marked as such on our website showing prices including and excluding VAT. There are no hidden charges and shipping is pretty reasonable. It is charged by weight at cost. The only recommendation that we make is that if you are purchasing items over £80 or Limited Edition kits, we would recommend customers to use a Tracked or Signed shipping service. There are no other fees.
The only thing which we have no control over are Customs charges but these are dependent on the destination country. Some customers get charged and others do not so it is hard to tell how these are applied at times.
Should you have any queries, just contact us - Matt or Celine - on:
[email protected]. We'd be happy to help any time.
