It looks like they are now shipping into the UK again.
They have something (over £150) I can't find elsewhere, dare I risk it?
It looks like VAT is included on check out so the risk is paying twice...
They're maybe the best of the German shops, if they are delivering to UK, they they will have their VAT stuff sorted. They are pleasant and easy to deal with (in English) over the phone too if you want to check first.
+1 on them being the best German / Euro shop. Great customer service and prices are cheap. They are now my go to place for most things. Can't comment on the post-Brexit issues though because I'm based in Spain.
I ordered from Bike24 a couple of weeks ago for a £135+ order and always the service was exemplary. They're UK VAT-registered so that's all paid at source.
Just had a glance on there and as an example looked at some rockshox forks. It states not shippable you Great Britain excluding Northern Ireland.
Is there an issue above a certain price?
Edit- appears fox are ok to ship to uk.

More a distribution thing, certain brands are restricted for outside EU or outside Germany
There is an issue with some items @docrobster, but I don't think it's connected to price. The different categories are peppered with green (will ship to UK) and red (won't ship to Uk). Price
Yeah I’ve delved more deeply and it’s purely rockshox as far as forks are concerned. Highly annoying!
Pike ultimates €765=£640 inc vat exc delivery
Maybe I could buy them and have them shipped to my sister in law in Austria to bring in her hand luggage when she comes over in June!
🤔
I got a tyre from them last week (not above £135 obviously!). They were slow to ship and said they are working on that aspect with restarting to the UK again; but when I chased it a week later they did kindly refund the postage in an act of good will.
I think there is an issue with Rockshox EU > UK regardless of seller.

I'm in Ireland, you could ship them to me. (I'll keep them though)
interestingly it seems that Sram and Shimano are both undeliverable for all products. Whether this is bike24 or above no idea.
I think I just cried a little tear of joy at bike24 delivering again to UK. After the day I've had (blocked soil stack causing poo and poo water to come through living room ceiling) this is delightful news.
Great news.
Been missing being able to get tyres from them.
I ordered a batch of Velo hinge bike storage hooks for a little project from them a couple of weeks ago. Took 8 days to arrive all in which was inside their advertised expected schedule for shipping to UK and i wasnt in a rush. I kept it under £135 so no VAT issues. Was pleased as not in stock elsewhere that I could see and they were a good price.
