yes but with a uk store you see the price & vat at time of order, and you get free, or cheap, trackable shipping.

1. pay a huge shipping charge
2. don't know if UK customs will then add another huge charge
3. don't know if UK Royal mail will then add a handling fee for collection of charge 2
4. can't afford to send the item back if there's a problem with it

so all in all - not a great plan
