The problem is that if you get stung by customs and if you go with insured
carriage, then there is often very little left for the middle man. The
attraction with the ePODs, the DDARs and these Audreys is that they are
items that you just can't buy over here, so the price is less important.
However if you were looking at bargain prices on stuff that can be bought
here, then there is often not enough difference to cover all the costs and
of course there are potential problems with warranties, voltages and so on.
There is one exception I noticed over there, jeans! I just walked in to a
normal high street shop there and saw Levi jeans (including 501's) all for
$29. Yesterday in a shop in Milton Keynes there was a big notice in the
window saying all Levis down to £39! This would be a potential for some
serious importing even with the costs taken out.
