Because they can....UK law makes it VERY hard to recover money from a UK company if your not a UK company.
some UK store simple don't respond to the invoicing and in a few cases there history of non payment is simple a way for them to justify what they do....
if you do get an order against them for the money, the company can and in a few cases have, gone bankrupt with out closing, carried on trading same name new directors...nothing can be done, many years ago I took a job with a UK retail/label and they went bankrupt the week before i started, carried on trading, it was like nothing happened, the label still shipped to them the wages were paid, just the way it's done...
Sad thing is, now there is such an issue outside of the UK a lot of small brands, simply will not stock in the UK, lot of good stuff never seen...the customers loss out
