Online Colognes and Fragrances

G-Money · 2009-12-11 21:46:26

I've used Strawberrynet before to buy fragrances and they're getting stopped now and I'm being charged customs fee's. I'm wondering is there somewhere else online that I can buy them without getting stung with customs charges?

Try www.fragrancedirect.co.uk or www.feelunique.com I have used both these websites before and been very happy with price and delivery.

I bought a few things for Christmas pressies on ebay. Prices seemed really good. Bought from an Irish seller, arrived day after.

For instance - bought Kate Moss Velvet hour for less than a third of what it cost in the shop! (I can recommend the seller if you want)

Not sure off any of the big online shops, but chemistdirect.co.uk has been good for me in general, though I've never bought perfume on it

Any chance you could PM me the name of/link to the eBay seller please?

Thank you.

perfumes are calssed that same as alcohol & tobacco. They are not included in the excemption limits and even if they are sent from the UK or any other EU country, duty (but not VAT) can be applied on importation into Ireland.

If sent from outside the EU Duty & VAT is added.

If you're in Athy, maddens pharmacy has 20% off loads of fragrances including the top ones such as chanel.

I've bought a good few fragrances from http://www.perfumeireland.com/ and I found them to be very reasonable and if they don't have what you're looking for don't be afraid to ask and they will try and source it for you - very helpful I thought.
