My goodness...never would I have expected a reply as conclusive and enthralling as the above post! Thank you so very much unyquity.
The problem with shipment from the USA is caused solely by weight. Considering the bottles are so large, and full of liquid, the postage will be severe...the package's size should also increase the chances of customs prying where they are not welcome, thus leading to extortionate customs charges. However, I shall look for the cheapest distributor (any suggestions welcomed of course) and proceed in ordering a bottle or two out of sheer curiosity.
