Aero Leather Clothing - 30 pounds for shipping to the US?

I found www.aeroleatherclothing.com through these boards and I was all set to buy a pair of jeans when I saw that they're charging 30 pounds (about $58) for shipping to the US, and and extra 10 pounds ($19) per each extra item. Wow...is that right?

I also noticed that they're offering free shipping for sales over 275 pounds. Anybody up for a group buy, preferrably LA people? I noticed a few of you ogling those Blue Bells, and some other stuff. Anybody order yet?

I saw the same thing. That is fucking rediculous! I sent them an email asking if they will cut me a break with the shipping fees and I got no reply. I send jeans to the UK all the time for $18 with global priority mail, and they get there in around 4 days. Do they send the jeans by magic carpet or something, the extra 10 pounds is a tip for the maharaja?

Live is too short for bad denim!

I agree. I just sent a pair of boots to Malaysia for $24. Wellgosh shipping for jeans is 10 pounds from the UK. I think that's about right for regular parcel post/airmail. There is free shipping for orders over 275 pounds. That's a lot of dough, but I could easily spend it on that site - a few pairs of jeans, a repro sweatshirt, a cafe racer jacket in black buffalo - I could spend some serious coin with them. But the shipping cost is kinda insulting.

The thing is, the prices aren't really too bad. I'm looking at the Lee Europe 101B's and the Denime Rider style repros, both for $115. Also the Blue Bell repros for $192. The $57 shipping is almost worth it. Can you get any of those in the states, or from another online source?
