Bricklink Seller Review - DK Bricks

Not to be confused with the publishing company.  Familiar with your European vehicle letter codes?  Better get up to snuff.  Some are primary like I, F, and P.  Others take a little more thinking, such as D, E, and IS.  Still others are a complete mystery to all but those in the know.  Such take the form of CH, FL, and HR.  Biggest disappointment?  I would have hoped for HE or EL but no, it's GR.

Recommendation
I had previously inquired of a British seller if they make an exception to ship a small order to the US.  I got a flat no.  I then took to the forum asking if anyone would be willing to order the pieces I needed and forward them to me.  Said British seller must have been stalking the forums as they raised the price on their piece more than 5 fold.  I immediately called the plan off and decided to hold out for a much nicer seller.  Lo and behold, DK Bricks came along with an offer I couldn't refuse.

Though if you are from the US, you get sort of locked into one choice.  You can pay via IBAN (not really) cash (really?) or Paypal (that's a gimme).  But with the Paypal payment you are required to add DKK 76 ($13.80) on TOP of the shipping price.  That was the deal killer.  I made an offer to the seller that sidestepped the need for tracking and he accepted.  The key is that I was willing to lose that amount of money in order to save what would have been almost a 50% increase to the cost of the order.
