Some time ago I saw a message on their site saying that they weren't shipping to the UK after Brexit because of the hassle with taxes and duties.

I haven't looked there since, so I don't know if they changed that.

That maybe it what a shame pity I don't know anyone in Europe get it and post it to me. 

Thanks

Same reason most Americans won't mail items outside the US.  Too much hassle and higher risk on transactions.

I think I recall @Don Pensack of Eyepieces Etc. mentioned that he won't be doing business with Europe anymore due to various new regulations that are onerous to deal with.

Seems strange to me that any country (countries) deliberately make it difficult to buy from them 🤔

No, but plenty of countries deliberately make it difficult to sell into them.  Tariffs, duties, taxes, inspections, quarantines, proof of origin, etc.

For instance, lots of countries now insist on the seller collecting all taxes and tariffs due before shipping and remitting them to whatever country it was sold into instead of leaving it up to the buyer to pay them locally before receiving said items.  That's a whole lot of extra paperwork to deal with as a retailer.
