I purchased a ring through the Zoara site and was disappointed initially as there was a delay in the ring being shipped. I wasn't made aware of the delay and had to contact them to find out what the issue was. Once that was sorted, the ring was despatched a few days later. I was nervous purchasing the ring from Australia as it is a long way to send it back if things go wrong, however looking at this site - everyone seemed happy. Imagine my surprise when I received a phone call from the Courier company in USA advising that I had to pay a further $290 in customs fees (on a $1200 ring). I contacted Zoara who have advised they use a catch all phrase that the 'customer is responsible for any duties, taxes & GST' - however there is no indication on purchase that we are going to be responsible for these extra charges when purchasing from Australia. Buyers outside of USA - be conscious of extra charges.

Two days later I am now updating this review. Zoara are bending over backwards to assist and ensure my experience is a positive one. Still to receive the ring, but there customer service is tremendous.

Julie, Thanks for the feedback on your experience. We are sorry to hear that your local customs fees were higher than you were expecting. Customs fees are the responsibility for customers to pay but we acknowledge that we could be clearer about this on our website.

Samantha and the rest of the Zoara team is here for you until you are completely satisfied with your purchase. We can't wait to hear what you and your fiance think about the beautiful ring you picked out for him!
