ORIGINAL: garethpowell It seems from speaking to a lady at Christies that US buyers ship stuff to a company with a importers license for a set fee, which apparently is not too much, especially if you are on good terms with tham and buy from them regularly. The set fee is the thing I'm balking at. After it is all said and done, the total will be in the neighborhood of US$450.00. This seems a little out of line, but that's what everyone is paying from what I hear. A friend of mine has sold a bunch of 3L bottles of the Climat du Coeur wines at his charity auction and the buyers are getting a huge surprise when they find out that they must pay to ship the bottles to the States. He's complaining too!
