There's no address or phone number on the website but that doesn't matter in this case because this is yet another website which doesn't actually sell anything.

All the links for products go through to Amazon Uk, as far as I can see. Which means that Beautyextra's owner is receiving referral fees from Amazon.

The address on the Domain Registration is for serviced and virtual offices. The company number is almost certainly fictitious. A number of products they say have free delivery on. Well the one I checked, Australian Bodycare Body Lotion for £7.99 including delivery had £4.37 added to it by the time I got to Amazon. So that's a load of lies.

I'd suggest doing one of the following:

1. Just go straight to Amazon or via Nectar to get the points.

2. Use a price comparison site like Pricerunner or Offer of the Day (no link allowed on MSE for this one)

http://www.pricerunner.co.uk/

3. Ask about specific products on the I Wanna board on MSE.
