My samples & order arrived safely - currently using rosehip oil on face & already seeing a difference. Soap sample is tiny, but then it is a sample. Shea butter sample also very good quality. However, found shipping very expensive, as it increases with each product you add, regardless of true weight. Order value £9.97 - stamp on enveloppe £1.80 but they charged £4.50 for shipping & handling - that's almost 50% !
So although products are good, don't think that I will order from them again, unless they change their handling charges.0 -
Update on above: I raised shipping costs with Akoma, and have recieved both an apology for mistake on web-site and immediate reimbursement to paypal account of £2.50.
This people are clearly as ethical as their products, and I will certainly keep on using them.0 -
