Nothing to do with 'price match', but rather more to do with Brexit and UK not being in the EU.Looks like they have a "price match promise", which they will hopefully honour!
An Post have to collect the tax and pay it to Customs. They have to have systems in place to do this and it costs money.I note anpost make a nice little moneyspinner out of this as well!!

That contradicts what they say elsewhere on the website about shipping from France. You could make a legitimate case to them that you shouldn't be out of pocket for customs as a result."Orders may be sent from our distribution centre in the UK or France. Certain shipments may incur local customs duties and taxes that will be made payable to your local postal provider."

So it appears that even though buy-spares.ie has an Irish domain name, and an Irish VAT number, one risks being liable for VAT, and an administration charge as the goods enter Ireland.
They also run espares.ie whose Ts and Cs say:www.buy-spares.ie is a division of Connect Distribution Services Limited, Connect House, Talbot Way, Small Heath, Birmingham, West Midlands B10 0HJ, registered in England, No. 3004798

They charge VAT but I still got whacked with a charge from An Post. I've complained and instructed An Post to send it back and am seeking a full refund.If your delivery address is outside of Ireland or the UK, you may be required to pay import duties and taxes when your eSpares order reaches your country. These and any additional charges for customs clearance are your responsibility.
I can understand the person on the street not knowing if Ireland was in the EU but you'd think a company sending goods to another country would check each country.I got orders from a Dutch company and a German company recently and they had both marked them as being "cross border" so I got charged customs. When I contacted them they refunded me the costs and explained they thought Ireland was now outside EU because of Brexit!!
True only last week I was on a call with some americans based in Texas and one goes........I hope you guys in Dublin are ok but your prime minister Boris Johnson is a badassHalf the population of the UK thinks Ireland is part of the UK
