Has anyone purchased anything using 1stdibs from abroad, shipped to the UK?

I've never used the site before but want to buy something that would be subject to customs/duty tax, it's a bigger purchase for me. I just want to know whether anyone has experience with the site directly? problematic experiences or smooth sailing? did anyone interact with the 1stdibs customer service?

Trust pilot is generally your best bet. Seems mostly fine but there are 1 star reviews with comments explaining why

thank you :-) the reviews just seem so all over the place - it's hard to find anyone discussing direct experiences outside of there. but I usually stick to eBay or VC when online shopping outside of official sites, so perhaps I am overthinking because this is outside of my norm!

If you have a credit card you can pay with that as it comes with more security than debit etc.
