Hidden costs & misleading duty estimate
For UK imports the site prices don't include import duty and VAT, which will be charged by the courier. I asked the website chat whether there were any other charges and they evaded the question. When I insisted, they eventually send an "estimate" showing £50 less duty (on a £560 order) than the amount that will actually be charged when they arrive in UK, and £50 of charges from DHL to handle the import. After an hour on the chat they said "I'm sorry it's taken so long, but it's not possible to get the exact amount because neither I nor DHL calculate it—it's the UK customs authorities who do. We can only estimate as best we can." Avoid!
