Can`t Decide!!

Hi to all B2B,
I am living in Ireland and i fell in love with Maggie Sottero dress Vidal in White/Ice. Cost 1800euros here but can get it for approx $840 with delivery from USA. I just can`t decide which company to go with. Has anyone had any experience with TJformal.com / Pearlsplace.com Would love to hear your stories to help me decide which one to buy my dress from.
Cheers, Eileen.

Hi B2B,
Im in Australia and nearly bought online myself. I heard great things bout Pearls Place both for price and delivery. Check ANY Company you are considering purchasing from with the BETTER BUSINESS BUREAU (they are online) before getting too far along. (in Australia we call it Consumer Affairs). The MAIN reason that I didnt purchase online was because of Australian Customs Import Duty Tax on Wedding Gowns, which is 48% of original purchase price!!!. PLEASE PLEASE research and be aware of your Countries Laws with your Gown purchase. I have purchased a `nearly new` Maggie S gown (Seattle Marie) and had a friend in the US ship it to me. (Altho Import Duty is not payable on `not new` Gowns - Customs still tried to charge me $303.30 GIFT TAX, but later recalculated to Nil - phew). Take the time to research ALL avenues thourghly before purchasing your gown. Consider ebay too.
All the best,
LOU
