@rocket:

Yes, I was very impressed.  Thought I would have to get them shipped to one of my long suffering "proxies", but the Nordstrom solution to international shipping is refreshing and cheap enough for me to not need to hassle my friends (well, Monday, Lando or Doug - they may well deny the friendship bit)….

yeah, the thing with the calculated and guaranteed customs, tax etc, is pretty unique, can't remember that I have seen that before…

Gilt does this as well for the int'l sales but price for one item I checked, went up from 169 $ to 277 because of it (with 19.95 $ for shipping), so eff that system…
