[shoppingmama]

In looking around the site there are some good deals to be had. The ship FedEx so what kind of customs/duty am I looking at paying? I'd love to hear the good and bad please!

Thanks :)

Bidz is VERY addictive once you get started, but dont expect your stuff to be as nice as it is on the website. The site makes the jewelry look HUGE, but it looks and feels like a plastic toy when it arrives. A family friend whos is a jeweler said that one of the topazs that I got was just glass. I felt ripped off, but I ended up keeping it for three reasons: 1) Couldn't put up with customer service, 2) it looks nice and 3) it was only $5.
If I was someone who ordered an expensive item from them and found out it was fake, i'd be livid! Plus, all the prices they compare against are outrageous!

I dont think i'll be shopping there anymore only because I don't want other items to be fake as well.

btw.. I confirmed with a 2nd jeweler that the topaz is fake
