HI Ed,

I haven't ordered from them before, but I've been told that they don't skimp on the customs taxes since they are a store. So take that into account when you are figuring out the pricing. You can also call them as people in the states I know have done so without much of a problem.

I bought an Ann Demeulemeester shirt from them. The shipping is HELLA expensive, but it came from Italy in like two days. I don't remember about VAT charges and stuff; I guess there weren't any. But you definitely have to take the shipping into account when you're buying something from them.

Yeah, it's always 50EUR. I haven't had to pay any customs stuff, so I wouldn't worry about it.

As far as I know, yes. Use the www.xe.com currency converter.

I bought a pair of DH jeans from them, super fast shipping but 50 euro to the US (chicago). The thing is, shortly after I got my jeans Fedex hit me with a bill for $100 for duties or import tax or something. So my $400 jeans actually ended up costing more like $575 in the end. That being said, it was an overall positive experience. They answered my questions quickly and everything seemed very professional, I'd buy from them again.
