I live in Switzerland, and use CRC all the time. Switzerland is not part of the EU, so CRC removes the British sales tax and I pay import fees and local sales taxes to the Swiss delivery agents. They ship it for free above 100 UKP and the import fees work out to be fine as long as I'm buying at least that much. There are no discount online Swiss dealers, so this is the main store for me and all my friends. Whenever possible, we all put in an order together so that we can split the flat fees. I've therefore made several very large orders (at least 20 individual parts and at least 500 UK pounds). They have always been very fast and very accurate with the order. They are great. You're correct, they are based in Northern Ireland (which is part of the UK), but their web hosting may be in the Republic of Ireland.
