    check what duty & vat you will need to pay when it is delivered. Duty on perfume is quite high and vat is applied to the combined cosy of product, duty & freight.

    can't comment on the site, but you may find savings are quite small when other costs are added


    had another look at the site. savings are not great, onnly about 10% on the elading perfumes. Many non leading perfumes can be found discounted in boots / sam mc auleys (no relation), hickeys etc

    when you add shipping costs, vat & duties they seem to work out about 30% more expensive than a local store.

    I ordered from them a while ago but got an email saying thepackage was returned to them damaged and had no stock left. Issued a refund. Just to note on what mccaul said, the perfume I ordered worked out at just under €20. That perfume could have been bought in boots for around 23 I think it seen it for but I was getting 100ml bottle from FX and only 30ml in boots. You should be ok with customs if you keep it under €22.

    Enter the code "FREE" at checkout for free shipping. Also try "HOLIDAY2009" for 10% off.

    Theres a topic a while back in bargain alerts about the site if you search for it.

    Hi
    I have ordered twice from this website. Brilliant bargains if you buy the testers. Only difference with testers was they arrived in white box instead of branded one. Also, ordered some sample vials to check if it liked perfume berfore committing to a bottle. Do be careful with ordering perfume over €26 (I think) as you could be hit by customs.
    There is a more detailed thread in Bargain Alerts.:)
