    Well, for one thing you'd have to pay the £9-ish Post Office fee for collecting the duty :eek:

    OMG! Really??? :eek:

    ouch! I was trying to convince myself it was worth it, as I had previously been tempted by Elizabeth Arden's mmu at £23... gulp!

    Anyone still waiting for their full kits? I ordered the $34 set and paid on the 9th May, it shows as shipped but it has never arrived.

    I have emailed the company so hopefully they can update me, but it seems like an awfully long time to wait. My samples arrived in about 8 days.

    Chances are it's stuck in customs. Parcels are often held for a few weeks before finally making their way to your local sorting office, at which point you'll be left a nice little note asking you to collect it but not before paying a not so nice fee.

    My samples came today ordered a week ago which is pretty good considering its been bank holiday.
    Theyre the regular foundation sample sizes but the blusher and concealer samples are much bigger than I've got from other companies!

    Thanks for this!

    I suspect it is stuck at customs as well, I emailed the company yesterday and kit was sent out on the 11th May so it should have been here now.

    Bother.

    I got a card through the door early this morning saying I had a package to collect with fees payable of £11.50. I trundled all the way down to the sorting office and they only take cash, so I couldn't collect my makeup today, I'll have to go back in a few days.

    Sympathy, Soo, for the fee and the traipsing :rolleyes: I do hope your EDMs are still bargains and that you love them!

    I had to pay on a bottle of Chanel No22 from the US - I used to wear it in the 1960s and every few years I get a yearning for it but can't afford it, this time I weakened. Cost me £70+ altogether for a refill EdT... and it smells CHEAP :mad:

    How annoying!:mad:

    How much did it work out to cost in total in the end then?
