I'm kind of interested.
I was looking at getting a pair of DA HB-7600 hubs from them currently priced at £129 + £16 shipping. I worked out (roughly) that if I had to pay customs and vat on them it would come to about £185 which is only a tenner less than Tokyo Fixed Gear have them for (I've no idea whether TFG actually have them in stock).
What I couldn't work out though was whether I was going to have to pay extra shipping charges if they got stopped in customs, which would probably make it more expensive than TFG?
I guess if there's no other charges, it's a question of hoping the package escapes the notice of HMRC...
