... Has that always been the case or is it a Brexit thing, I wonder.
The price is €12 more if the shipping country is France or Austria for examp,e. What’s that all about?!
I bought my Nomad Mk II frame, fork, and lots of parts in 2013, at that time I thought shipping costs to USA were pretty high from SJS. But other UK suppliers seemed to have pretty good rates.
Over time, SJS found ways to cut the shipping costs to the point that when I built up my titanium light touring bike frame, I bought the parts to build it up in three batches, one from SJS, one from Germany, and then a bunch of other parts here in USA, mostly from Amazon. SJS at that time was a low cost supplier to the USA.
Then Brexit happened. Suddenly shipping costs to USA went crazy, probably the same with other countries that UK wanted to export too.
Before Brexit, I bought stuff from several UK companies to export to USA, but I think I have only bought a couple items from SJS since Brexit, none from other UK companies.
Sorry if I am treading on political ground here, it is not my intent to take a political side. I am only making comments as an external observer that lost the ability to buy a lot of stuff from UK. I have never been in the UK.
