Why don't we order from abroad?

Two things to keep in mind when it comes to large, expensive items like this. The manufacturer of Terra Firma products may have agreements with its sellers restricting where those sellers can and cannot ship Terra Firma product. If I were a licensed reseller of Terra Firma in the US I would be pretty upset if customers were able to pick up a product I had contracted to sell for them much cheaper through an overseas seller.
The other thing to keep in mind is you may still have duty to pay on any purchase you make from overseas. The amount of that duty may vary but I remember buying parts from RPI when I was rebuilding an engine. I paid for the parts, received them and then a week or so later received a bill from their broker for customs and processing fees.
When I ship smaller items to Canada I always recommend the USPS because they don't charge a brokers fee. When I have shipped to Canada by UPS or FedEx, on occasion I have had customers call me questions broker fees they were accessed after they had received the delivery.
Just a couple of things to consider and perhaps research if you're dead set on an international order.
Oh, and another thing that I believe was already mentioned but I'll reiterate, suppose that nice new bumper arrives with a nasty dent or twist in it. International shipping adds a whole new twist to returns.

Look at these bumpers:
BRITPART
DA5604 - front bumper $660
DA5647 - rear bumper $305
Shipping is $180
So grand total shipped to me in MS would be $1145USD
The rear bumper saves a lot of money and it seems to be a sturdy and cosmetically appealing one. Plus it still functions well and has a good departure angle. I'm not pulling the trigger yet bc I'm leaving the country but most likely will when I get back. This is a quote from John Craddock. Check out their website and paddock spares. Seems pretty legit and I read the uk forums and the guys over the pond use them quite often.

Yeah see that's a good find. Now let's figure out shipping! But those tight fit bumpers don't leave any room for brush guards to be installed. Real talk are brush guards even really needed? Most of the trails I've driven are on parks meant for trail riding so it's pretty well work down.
