I think its the import tax rather than shipping which is the issue although I did see somewhere that one site (Louis?) refunded the fees if they were charged
Louis are vat register, you pay an import tax though.

For goods from Europe to the UK, there's a £135 threshold: items under this value have UK VAT collected at purchase (by the seller), with no customs duty; items over £135 incur both import VAT and customs duty, calculated on the total value, with rates depending on the product. Gifts have a £39 limit for duty-free status, otherwise, standard rules apply. Note: The UK plans to end the £135 customs-free threshold by March 2029.
I bought some stuff from louis moto .de last November. Their web page said all import duties paid.
My order was a couple hundred pound. Got snagged on import and had to pay the £60.
Got in touch with louis, sent them the documentation and they refunded me the fees.
They were good.

Bear in mind that if you have to send anything back it will cost more and you’ll likely have to pay VAT and the carrier charge (now usually £15) on any replacement.
