Not as easy as it would appear unfortunately. VAT and Duty not an issue, as long as VAT is taken correctly at source anyway, as there is no duty involved in computer components. UK stores such as OCUK already accommodate VAT collection for example, so if it was as simple as ordering from anywhere in the EU or UK that'd be great.
But, there appears to be so many issues from a logistical POV, it just hasn't happened. A French store Ive used in the past which had it up for preorder before LG direct - won't ship other than to certain landlocked countries. LG EU territories only deliver to same territories. LG UK and Ireland are handled under the same umbrella - but they only deliver to UK addresses.
The jungle crowd are funny. One UK order coming up on two months old hasn't budged with any stock, another in Germany for the past month hasn't moved and floats between being orderable, claiming to have single digit stock to hand and time frames of 3-7 months at random periods
Have left those orders in place, but the only other options are those that have 4 week lead aheads - that never seem to update, so I'd not be too confident of them being able to deliver. There certainly does seem to be an inventory issue on this side of the Atlantic relatively speaking, but its strange to think in this day and age, that transportation logistics could also be a factor.
