Yes if you buy from overseas, even without re-shipping, warranty &
after-sales service might be difficult or impossible - depending on
the retailer/manufacturer.

And its good reason to, as Paul suggested, pay extra and buy your
Swarovskis from Bintel (and I did a few years ago).

But other items  I'm happy to take the risk that they'll be lost/faulty.
For example, running shoes via the reshipper work out at 50% of the
price of locally.  I just bought sleeping bags&mats (moontrail.com)
with better specs than anything I saw in the Sydney bushwalking shops
and about half the price.
