I'm guessing that they have an EU warehouse, probably not in the UK. On their shipping page: I'm also guessing that they item that you want to buy may either not be EU-TPD compliant or there is another company in the UK with sole distribution rights of that brand/product.
... But like I'm saying it's only a guess!

If you buy from the China warehouse, you can still get items in under two weeks with the GB priority mail option Normally quick delivery

yeh im not in rush plus CNY means it wont get shipped for a week. i was just curious.
its not a vaping product Postmodern. its a fake spyderco knife so dont distribution rights would matter.
ukvapers has an old thread saying they were getting a uk warehouse.

I am sure gearbest eu is based in heathrow "The main European warehouse of GearBest is located in London Heathrow Airport in the United Kingdom. This warehouse is placed in a strategic location to have quickly restocks from China and always a plane available for any destination in Europe. Besides, GearBest has setup several warehouses in other strategic locations of Europe that will offer the best service for customers in Europe." gearbest blog

I think the laws have changed on buying a 'hobby knife' in the UK off the internet these days thats probably what the issue is. I tried buying a new mora last year and gave up trying for UK sellers.
