In-app purchase for physical goods - forbidden or not recommended?

Question

Is selling of physical goods via Android in-app purchase forbidden or just not recommended?

I know that there is a problem with shipping, but one can easily make final price increased by shipping costs. What if there is not shipping cost?

Please share your experiences with me.

Thanks in advance

Here's a quote from In-App Billing Overview from developer.android.com:

You can use in-app billing to sell only digital content. You cannot use in-app billing to sell physical goods, personal services, or anything that requires physical delivery.
