    Let me qualify - you would have to specify bring it through the US at the time of your order.  You can not change this after the fact. Please don't think you can place on line, then call 800-463-9275 and successfully change it from UK drop ship to Gaffney, SC.  UK orders are non-cancelable, non-returnable!

    I guess I figured it out. Go to the normal site (like the link listed above) and when checking out hit "Ship Order Complete" on the "Backorder Preferences". That should negate the $20 fee.
