Yeah as far as I can see all the main German bike retailers have stopped shipping to the UK.
I really hope that it's temporary. Some of the statements released by the German retailers make it sound like they aren't interested in collecting vat on behalf of the UK government. It seems they think the notion is ridiculous and expect the government to u turn on the new rules. How likely is that though?
I can't imagine bike-discount and the others would permanently stop selling to UK customers since a fair bit of their turn over would be reduced.
Over the past 10 years virtually all my main cycling purchases have been from Europe and most of them from the German retailers.
Whatever happens it looks like the discounts won't be as good as they used to.

Along with Canyon, bike-discount, Brooks (Selle-Italia)... check out the brexit forum...
Should be only temporary as they sort out the process, however, the cost of registering with the UK tax office to pay VAT may restrict some from selling to the UK
