Actually they do after speaking with a 3 store employee today. They are from the Danish and Hong Kong side of the business.

It costs 3 very little to transfer them, Hutchison Whampoa have there own shipping service for transfering there goods from China to Europe and base some of there UK operations in the British Virgin islands to avoid high VAT rates.

Thats also what Virgin Media does with its premium content,it trades them through Virgin Media entertainment which is based in Luxemburg, where the VAT rate is only 3% where as here, it is has now gone back to 17.5%.
