$375 = £305
That's quite a difference.

I’m also in the UK - anything above the £135 threshold is subject to customs duties of 20% + a potential handling charge, which could be levied by the company delivering the package. If you look at the bottom of the invoice under the total amount, you will see that there’s a figure of £64.17 for taxes - which I believe is the custom duties payable. Note: on the £135 threshold, the shipping costs will also be subject to the 20% custom duties payable as well. Anything below the £135 threshold is not subject to any customs duties or additional charges.
Edit: The £370 is inclusive of the customs duties payable.

I don't need another DB, much less one in copper, but if I did, I would.
Just thought the transformation from 375 to 573, using the exact three numbers was a hell of a coincidence.
In any case, let potential overseas buyers decide for themselves.
EDIT: Think I solved the mystery...just like in the case of Fedsbackhand the system is doing an auto currency conversion...so
that $575 is the amount in MY currency. This currency conversion favours shopify, not the buyer. Any overseas
buyer should write to Andy and asked to be sent a Paypal Invoice direct...$375 + Shipping. That will def save a bit.
And Andy's very cool and flexible with valuation arrangements so don't be shy.
