Just posted the same in the coupons sub-forum. Figured someone would beat me to the punch here in Road Cycling.

Ok so they have Astana kits now...I love the little Borat photo in the lower corner of their image...too bad he isn't really on the jersey.
Now when are they going to get Tinkoff kit? I need me a Tinkoff jersey and don't want to pay the ~$90 others want for them.

Thanks for the update. I did not want to spend $10 shipping on a $16 order of my grey keo cleats with covers. There is balance in the force...

Well, considering they are not refunding the VAT charge on US orders, they can afford to offer free shipping. That has always been why they do it. Order from any other UK company, and they will remove the VAT charges, which generally are close to the shipping charges. I believe VAT is roughly 15-17% of the order amount.

It might only be temporary again too it seems.
I DID write and complain to them, saying the only reason I ordered from them and not others was thefree shipping. So, as of now, I will officially take credit for this!
Now...on to what to order:
--FDJ jersey on sale
or
--CSC bibs on sale
??

I've noticed the juicy sales from a few months back have pretty much stopped. So, free shipping, but nothing enticing.

Are you saying that the US dollar prices they list contain the VAT?
