That adds a time delay and an inevitable handling charge, fortunately that's a lot less than the "Audi Tax"
They say they ordered from Audi Tradition yesterday and I've also paid the handling charge (easy enough via PayPal). Their order status has also been updated to "The goods are expected soon" so I'm hopeful again.

If this works, they (online-teile) may be a useful alternative route into the "broken" Audi Tradition system as their delivery costs to UK are slightly lower, pretty much offsetting the handling charge and 2-step delivery.
