Expensive shipping costs and import taxes are the main reasons which detain me from buying outside the European Union.

The other reason which detains me from buying outside Germany is the need of a credit card. In germany it is customary to order at a mail-order house cash on delivery, debit note or on account. Smaler mail-order shops sometimes need cash before delivery on credit transfer. There is no need for a costly Credit Card in Germany and I don't like the idea of paying money for money.

At last Britain is in the European Union and traditional kilts are available even in Germany.
