OK, so the Ergo 2 are $20 bucks cheaper there. Most don't get hit with duty fees from PBK because they use the postal system. By using UPS you surely will get hit. I've looked at the import schedule and it seems a little grey if cycling shoes have duty.

Plus, its SO worth the extra $20 if you were getting the Ergo 2 to buy from within the US. What if there is a small defect in the shoes like a stitching error? I wouldn't be concerned about ordering a derailleur or something, but with hand stitched shoes there can be little things off. You'd be stuck dealing with a return to an Italian company and have to ship back to Italy.

I'm telling you from hours of searching, biketiresdirect was the place. Best Sidi prices, good stock, they shipped in 1 day, sent a confirmation email, had a status link, and sent a UPS confirmation number all for $5 shipping. Thats better than Performance can manage. First rate internet site.
