The way I understand it is this:
Associated had them flown in to the US
CML have had them shipped in, so it keeps the cost down for the end user, hence the buying price of £210-225 depending on where you go.
The same as you could probably get them for from the US including postage, BUT on a parcel that size, you are almost certainly going to get hit by customs then parcel force.
I suppose if they had them flown in that would add about £30-40 per kit.
It's really not worth it, support your LHS.
