It looks like they will only ship to your billing address (or an address listed with your credit card company). Your order may have also run into some VAT/taxation issues, or equally likely, gotten flagged as a possible fraud.
They are correct in that the discrepancies in exchange rates are not B&H's fault, nor did they profit from it. It's your credit card issuer's fault, and they are the ones who are charging you.
That said, if I were an international buyer with a billing address in the UK and a shipping address in Spain, I wouldn't be too surprised to run into all sorts of snags when purchasing goods from outside the EU.

Read my post! It states quite clearly that the Shipping and Billing addresses are one and the same Spanish address.
The fact that the card is from a British bank has nothing to do with it. Britain is part of the European economic union which allows free movement both physical and financial of it's citizens. Your comment is like saying that if your card is from a New York bank you can not use it if you live in California - or is that the case in the US?
The charges are not discrepancies in exchange rates they are charges for currency exchange because B&H placed a confirmed charge on my account before deciding they would not supply - most definitely their fault - they could have confirmed the card by making a provisional charge then not confirming it when they were not satisfied. Again B&H's fault - Not mine!!!
Either way it is $25 for zilch!!
