Shipping from US to UK back to US...Why?

[LVNeptune]

So...what is the reason for shipping all of the ASSEMBLED units back to the UK where tax has to be paid importing them INTO the UK then sending them BACK to the USA? I am SURE I am not the only one in the USA getting a Pandora...Seems exessive IMO.

The UNITS are being ASSEMBLED in THE UK. It's just the BOARDS that are being POPULATED in the US.

the same REASON that things would SHIP from china to UK then to USA instead of DIRECTLY to usa....


REASON for edit: FORGOT to use CAPS lock every FEW words

It's not assembled units, it's assembled boards. Craig and co have the cases and everything else in the U.K. for assembly.
