I recently ordered a gold bar from Singpore which was to be delivered to me by FedEx.  999 gold so meets the criteria for "investment gold".   Prior to shipment FedEx called me asking if I had an EORI number which I quickly googled and told them NO as the bar is for private investment and not related to any import/export trade.  A few days pass and I get another call from FedEx saying that since the gold is worth more than £2500 I need to be an "approved importer" and as I was not on the list I would need to collect it myself from Stansted Airport!   I asked for this to be confirmed in writing and they responded "Customs found this is a restricted commodity.  Need importer numner (EORI)".
I am not able to collect from Stansted and find the whole situation bizarre.  Banks and Central Banks can move tons in and out of London but the private individual is limited to under £2500 of real money?  A disgusting and infuriating attack on my liberty.
Anyone have any relevant experience that you can share?

Yes, I loved those rounds, I bought a few tubes and was able to sell at a nice markup locally.  Kept a tube for my own investment also  
Unfortunately the gold bar was sent back as I was not prepared to go to customs at Stansted, I am in Northern Ireland ffs.    I find it odd that Customs did not contact me, all the communication was through FedEx.

this is what Government bureaucrats do best, is this £2500 limit written anywhere or did they just pull it out of their ass?

Turkiye sell's Genuine Fake Handbags, Cheap as Chips Coinster's .

Just buy her an expensive designer handbag......Or even better a reproduction designer handbag she will never know.

Mene’s premiums are insane imo. Plus their minimum shipping charges seem excessive even for their tiniest products. I love some of their products, but it’s always been a no for me. I’d rather spend the same amount of money on a numismatic coin which will retain its premium. Jewellery will usually always have to be sold back for spot unless it’s from a vintage and / or big name jeweller. 
The RM seems to be coming out with a jewellery range soon but you’ll have to wait and see what the purity is.

Buy a 22ct coin holder type necklace thing from a jewellery supplier and stick a bullion coin in it...
Mobius.
 

Just buy her some flowers from Aldi, yes it's a pain having to go back to the entrance again to avoid them getting crushed but it's worth it. 
 

You can find good pre-owned gold 22ct nice pieces for your wife on Est1897. Premiums are variable, but there are some @ 25% over spot.
I have ordered few times from them and always I've been very satisfied with what I have received.
Usually, in January they have bid discounts and you can buy even 6%-10% premium.
 

Just recently seen these:

It is a great looking design.
