They'll have to pay VAT if they are buying in the UK which is 20%? It might be cheaper to get it shipped direct from them..

Can you still claim the VAT back at the airport when departing? You could many years ago. It really is just postage you save by buying over the counter there. That is if your airline doesn't charge you extra baggage.

Yes - you can reclaim the VAT on anything that you are taking out with you, even if it is checked luggage.

What are you wanting to pick up?
