All the other stuff about shipping costs, duties and credit fraud are total BS. The US has the highest rate of credit fraught in the world (50% of all fraud is in the US, but only 25% of all credit card transactions are in the US), shipping cost going out of the US are some of the cheapest in the world comparatively, and the fact the US has one of the lowest tax, import duties and collection rates in the world, but more importantly, sellers are not obligated to include sales tax in the list price of items, does not mean there are no taxes, and so the fact taxes per transaction ARE infact collected elsewhere is and should not be their concern...
I guess they just never graduated to the internet age... But good to know they are still in business.
