    Their website doesn't appear to have been updated to reflect Brexit but mentions how anyone outside the EU will have to sort out thir own import duties. I suspect that this now should say anyone outside of GB.
    Apparently they were charging UK VAT to non-UK customers (when they shouldn't be) and this seemingly has not yet been corrected - have a look at the comments to this link. The invoice says no VAT but the customer is charged the UK VAT :rolleyes:

    I've made a purchase recently (approx. 75stg), they refunded me VAT (~15stg) without saying a word. The package arrived a bit late without any further changes. YMMV though!
