Stuff comes in a sketchy blue bag and the original packaging, so it is hit or miss if the boxes are damaged.

Overall, good experience if you can wait for your stuff. PBK doesn't issue tracking numbers, so you may go nuts wondering when your stuff will come like I did.
bike goods aren't exempt from duty.

What does get hit hard with duties are clothing.
So avoid buying clothing online.

bike stuff is like a duty of 10%, but clothing is something like 25%.
