I've heard nothing but good stuff about his products. The only downside is shipping costs to the US is expensive.
 

The Shipping cost everywhere - even in the US - is expensive. I've been buying things on the internet to save gas and I've noticed lately that $10 is the starting cost for things, even as light as an ounce or two.
 

It's not as bad as you might think -- and Ceriatone makes quality products and uses high-quality parts. I have a 5E3 chassis that they built for me. It sounds great!

Check the prices for completely built chassis. It's often only $100 or so over the cost of the kit -- and you'll get some of the neatest wiring you'll ever see, and a chassis that is tested and working. Unless you have a deep and abiding love of chasing hum (or worse), this is a mighty fine option.

You can also get the chassis assembled sans transformers, which will save you a chunk of shipping costs (because that's where the weight is).

The only knock I have on my Ceriatone is that the power cord is too short, but I just use an extension cord when necessary.
