Another PBK question
I have ordered some small items, e.g. water bottles and tools etc, from PBK and every time, the stuff arrived pretty fast with no problem. I am thinking about getting some bigger items, e.g. a Campy crankset, from them. Wondering if I may have to pay US import duty on that.

I didn't have to pay anything extra for my Campy Chorus Cranks....just for insurance i had em ship to my office. (So it goes through the mail room etc...figures it's gonna make it harder for the post man to collect the tax...the mail room gals sure as hell wouldn't have paid it)

True for everything you buy online. Sales tax is really a consumption/use tax, so it is due were you live. It is a loophole we all use though.
