We will be stocking
Thanks, but with all due respect your shipping charges to the USA are just more than I am willing to bear. I realize that may be entirely out of your hands as well.

Maybe wait until Connaught have it stock? They are supposed to have decent shipping costs to the UK.

Nobody should charge you VAT if you are outside the EU.Plus, Connaught doesn't charge me the abominable VAT.

So if their prices do not include VAT, and they're not VAT registered, they're not charging you it either.

I really have no idea how the VAT works as we don't have one here thanks to superior musketry.

You pay sales tax by state though which is the same thing.I really have no idea how the VAT works as we don't have one here thanks to superior musketry.

Are they filling up the tubs yet or still half full at best?

They're sold by weight not volume.

Looking at their website, there's info for the next limited edition which'll be their take on the Shulton Old Spice.
Still no sign of their vegan range though. The sample I was sent was truly superb.

This explains why they're that way:
FAQ
Where do you ship your aftershave splashes to & can you give me a shipping estimate? Alcohol splashes are deemed a prohibited item by postal couriers and as such very stringent rules are in place that pertain to their shipping. We are able to send ours to the UK and the below European countries...

You'll still receive the weight you paid for.

All the ones I have had before don't seem as full as the equivalent weight American soaps I've had. It's either very dense soap or the American soaps are overfilled a lot more.

It depends on what size of tub they use, I have a new P&B here which is sold as 115g. I just weighed the soap, it's 119g so they aren't short changing anyone. They probably want to leave enough space to start building a lather in the tub.

Yes, but it is a lot less, e.g., 5% - 10% approx.
I guess I'll wait until Connaught has it for sale as they seem to have a "sweetheart" deal worked out on S&H as well to the USA.
Ahh, the perils of international trade. That reminds me of the story of the American condom manuf. who once made a large batch for retail sale in the U.K., but tragically had to recall the entire lot as they had discovered that a U.S. condom sized S (Small) was actually an XXL in the U.K.

I believe that joke was originally the Egyptians selling them to the Romans, it was said to be a personal favourite of Ramses II who liked to tell it at dinner parties.
