. . and had it delivered to over here?

looking around, doesn't seem to be many that do international shipping especially on full bikes?

Any recommended dealers/sites?

Preferably who do Jamis?

Try Jenson USA - They do Jamis and have a good reputation for shipping to the UK. You'll have to pay customs though as they're a Legit company.

I brought a frame and fork from them that wasn't available here, they'll sell you a bike, they won't do you any favours avoiding import duties though.

TBH if its a whole bike I reckon you could try and get a cheap flight, buy the bike out there, have a holiday and then bring it back with you avoiding the taxes, just buy from a bike shop somewhere in / near mtb heaven (Moab etc).

FWIW, the duty on bike parts is much lower than that on bikes. Getting it shipped as two consignments can save you some money.
