Value Added Tax? Anyone order from the motherland? 120-130

So I'm rounding up an order of odds and ends that seem to be available for cheap via the overseas supply houses.

I'm in USA so I'm curious about the VAT discount. Does this simply get added back on when it hits our shores?

And shipping issues, is there a best way to get this stuff over here?

I'm going to be needing seals, weatherstripping, seat covers, door panels, and various little doo-hickeys as I move to the "making it worth stealing" phase.

Seems that the lightweight stuff may be worth ordering from Europe or UK.

Any advantage to doing a group order? I'm sure there must be others in the Portland area that might want to split shipping. Besides, old Volvo drivers seem to be on the up and up. Not like I'm working with the "slammed rice rocket" crowd.

Any input from someone with experience with overseas orders would be much appreciated.

PS -George, don't you know someone that could load a box onto a military transport? ;-)
