    Wondered myself, although not placed an order. They sell on Amazon. There are some on line reviews too. Check out Alexa.com too.

    Seems they rent an office in Birmingham going by address given
    See reviews on dooyoo
    Appears to be previously known as Perfume Emporium and known to Watchdog too if the same people running it http://www.bizrate.co.uk/ratings_guide/merchant_info__mid--111175.html

    Hi Skintmumof3,

    Any update on your Galaxy Perfume purchase. Was all ok, or did you end up being charged tax? Are you happy with your purchase?

    Hi

    Sorry to learn you have had problems. I personally would not have placed an order. I normally buy from popular sites and have never had any issues.


    A little while back I ordered an item for under a fiver with "the fragrance counter", (not used previously), paid through paypal..as they had the item I wanted. It arrived well packaged the next day.

    I hope you have some success in tracing/receiving your order but it does appear unlikely.
  • I wish I had seen this part of the forum before last Saturday when I ordered off them. I usually buy from Cheap Smells but they didn't have the product in stock. I have received Galaxy Perfume's confirmation of order email but have still not received a despatch email. Because it was a co.uk website I thought it was a UK based company. I have just checked my credit card statement online and they have charged me more than I agreed to at check out. It seems that despite me paying in pound sterling behind the scenes it was processed in dollars to pound sterling. Just praying I receive the item before Christmas otherwise will have to rush out and buy on the high street

  • I take it everyone has checked the MegaShopBot? And try not to assume that because it appears on a reputable search engine, that makes it a reputable site - always check.

    Have a look at the Cheap Perfume guide as well if you think it'll help any.

    You might also find the How to shop safely online guide helpful as well.
  • Tried to order through Boots but the FRAGRANCE1 promotion code was show in the shopping basket but didn't reduce by £5 was this because I bought a fragrance last week from them and got the discount. There was nothing in their terms and conditions stating you could only use once

    I would not under any circumstances recommend ordering from Galaxy Perfume. I am currently waiting for a refund for an order I placed before November but have yet to receive it. The information from the transport company hasn't been updated for 20 days. When asking for the refund I am told that one cannot be issued until 30 days after having placed my order, you are required to fill out a refund form and scan/fax it back, the address on the form that issues the refunds is in Australia! It seems as though they have a dummy UK address, dispatch from America but all the money is handled in Australia. As usual very easy to place an order with but after that, conflicting information, confusion and great difficulty in getting a refund.

    I have tried to post this on Bizrate as well but it seems to be difficult to get a review on there and I have also read they are biased and wont put up too many negative reviews.

    Do not waste you time or money with these people.
