Order arrived today, 5 days to the West coast even though Ribble status says it hasn't shipped. I got hit with customs though $45 on a $300 order. Their prices are so low its still a good deal even with customs. This is the first time I have had to pay customs from the UK. Anybody know what causes this and why some shipments don't get charged? Is it the dollar amount maybe?
I'm in the same boat as jnbrown, I placed an order on Thursday and their website says the order is still pending validation. I was thinking maybe there was a problem with my CC and Ribble's policy of charging in GBP, but I'm glad to hear your order shipped promptly.
I didn't see anything about customs charges in the ordering process. I'll have to go back and look at the fine print.
BTW, I used the TRIP7 discount but discovered that after entering the code, you have to push the "Apply" button on the web page itself. If you just hit enter/return, the code won't necessarily load.
