Shipping and Customs is the problem I encountered because their rules do not allow for shipping precious gems or metal. I discovered this when returning a SNAD (significantly not as described) ring to England and read the fine print on the shipping form. I enquired from the seller who told me to check "gift" on the form which would have been untrue, so I didn't.
Returns of fine jewelry are a real problem and UK shippers essentially have to lie on their form to ship it out.
My return shipping has not been delivered back to the seller and it is in UK Customs for the last 3 weeks.
I personally have learned my lesson and will not order from UK or other international sellers again.

Do you have to pay a VAT tax too?
