Ordering bottles online to UK

hi guys,

was wondering in anyone has ever ordered any vials of www.ebottles.net?,
was trying to get 10ml bottles of guy i know (in UK) who owns a chemist. he says that he has to personally sign for bottles that he sells, and the list of sold bottles goes to the government. Each bottle has a serial number that he must record beside his signature. so if my homebrew stash was ever found it would be traceable back to him!

Was wondering, if the UK government are that strict with the chemists what are the not like about bringing bottles in the UK form other countries?

Has anyone imported vials to the UK, or have any sites within the UK that sell vials no questions?

hope these questions are ok to ask

cheers

My lab supply source in the USA sends me many vials to the UK no problems, and it is right on the customs form. e-bottles prices over the last 2 years have doubled, they are crazy. My Family is in the UK and i am there often, i have no problems with vials. now solvents under US can not be sent via airfreight. But i get them as well. I only order small amount all liquids from the US, by law any liquids are to transported by sea, not air. I have never ran into problems. but I am not getting huge amounts, In the USA most lab supply companies that sell items such as boiling flasks, filter systems, and USP grade solvents are supposed to have what is called a DPS license (department of public safety) all states require this, I mean to buy the items. but it is a law that is rarely enforced on internet base companies. there is about 50 items that require the buyer and the seller to have this state license. i have never seen it enforced. but I am sure in time it will be.
