Default Re: Deals & Steals: Balenciaga Handbags (continuous thread)

I checked out that Diabro site, and they have to be cheap to make up for all the drawbacks of buying there. First, overseas purchases are at an immediate disadvantage because you may be assessed a Customs tax. Next, I don't care for Diabro's policies, such as wanting birthdates and other identifying information for their own fraud protection. I understand wanting to cut down on fraud, but Bluefly doesn't ask for my birthdate and I don't need to give it to Diabro, either. They also say they may require Western Union payment from first-time buyers. Then they go on about their "great customer service, since we cater to the most discerning market, the Japanese," but they don't take returns (or they may take them with a huge "restocking fee"), so where does customer service even come in? They can go scratch.
