    Last I ordered from DWM--a couple years ago--they told me they had
    an 'arrangement' with UPS and that's how their shipment came to me. 
    UPS will hold your items hostage until you pay customs charges*;
    IIRC they will notify you by email and you can pay online with a CC.<br>
    <br>
    * My last shipment was for about $2K worth of parts; depending on
    how it's described you could be on the hook for quite a bit more.<br>
