Shipping has gone up here in the states.
It probably would cost $40+ to ship to the U.K.

Remember that prices in the US are quoted without sales tax.
Internet sales tend not to have sales tax charged unless the company has a nexus or has an office in your state.
Brick and mortor stores add sales tax to the receipt when you checkout.
Shipping a product to the UK will incur an automatic 8.5% customs and excise import duty followed by 20% UK sales tax on the combined amount. Do the math with shipping and it comes out about the same. FedEX, UPS, DHL, and Royal Mail will all enforce this policy and hold the package until you pay the charges.
What you need is a friend in the US who will buy it for you and then ship it to you as a GIFT to avoid UK and European taxes. But then you’re paying two shipping charges!!
