    Ive bought there regularly, especially when the dollar was weak, they ship US postal service which 90% of times get through customs, and they do DHL and UPS which you always pay customs on, US postal service usually takes 10 to 15 days (best ever was a week), dhl/UPS max 3/4 days. The stuff is good, and customer service is excellent.

    Expect to pay VAT rates on the declared value of the goods. In this case 21%. It gets messy if there's no invoice included / customs value printed on the declaration.
