The limit of non VAT commercial/mail order was reduced to £15 (it is £40 for a "gift"). Between EU countries is usually FOC VAT. I never thought I'd say this but it is more convenient and the same cost to buy from a UK based supplier like www.eil.com but they don't sell some of the bands I collect.

I always prefer buying from the UK, so much closer to my country...
edit: I can't find it in the site you gave...

'kin hell! when i order from the UK the UK VAT gets removed, i pay the VAT equivalent here and an import fee of around £1.00 only. when amazon were doing free shipping worldwide last year i bought mountains of stuff cheaper than i could get here and indeed they always worked out cheaper than what was paid in the UK.
