I was unaware that they make trips to Boston, does the price change if you order from them directly at their shop in London vs. during one of their trips?

I believe the charge for the shoes was slightly higher than purchasing from the UK. No VAT though.
I don't know if this is your first bespoke shoe, but if so I would seriously consider Cleverley. They visit Boston more often, and the fittings are critical for first timers.
