Worse still, the USPS employee may not mark the import duty correctly, leading to a wild goose chase on why there was an extra charge levied when you try to collect the package. Don't ask me how I know...
I just ordered a cassette from Ribble, which ended up being
significantly less expensive than bikeparts.com. Hopefully the post office will deliver it right to my door without an issues. On a similar track, I went to Scotland with my Dad a couple of years ago. We found a place in Edinburgh called Royal Mile Whiskies, and long story short they deliver authentic Scotland scotch right to your door. You can get bottlings that you'll never see in the States at fantastic prices, and they come through my local P.O. without incident. I'm hoping Ribble works out the same way.
Again thanks for the great suggestions!
