They've always done this. And from Happ too as I recall. But you used to pay a portion of the shipping, & brockerage plus taxes, duty and exchange, so it wasn't always a good deal. You can contact the stock department direct and they'll let you know the score and I beleive they'll ship too, but then you pay the local shipping.
Squid pm'd me about the process so I'll post it here.
Call or email the parts manager (his name is Dave) with your order. He'll send/give you a quote and then you confirm. Once a month they do a bulk order with PBR so if you just missed one, you may have to wait 3 -4 weeks to get your stuff. The only thing is that you need all the part numbers when you place your order. Sometimes I email Steve at PBR to get all the correct info but then I'll place my order through Starburst.
This is how I order all my PBR stuff. It's just way easier and I usually find that they charge the same as if you ordered from PBR directly (I'm guessing they get some sort of volume discount).
But don't take my word for it. Get a quote from Starburst and compare with ALL the costs you'll have ordering direct from PBR (currency exchange, shipping, customs, bank fee for money order, etc). I think you'll be surprised. Plus, I earn travel rewards points from my credit card so that's an additional bonus

PBR gives at least a 10% discount with an order over $100 (I think that's the starting level for a discount, but I'm sleepy right now), not to mention haggling, credits on bad parts, etc.
