Hey Alex, 

Thanks for the info, but that seems inconsistent with Carradice's own FAQ 
regarding shipping/duties/tariffs. On their site right now it says " Yes. 
Import duties are collected by the destination country and are not charged 
by Carradice. US and EU customers may be contacted by customs before 
delivery." which seems to imply their goods are shipping from overseas and 
not a warehouse in the US
