Perfume Cost Cutting: Slash The Cost!

tooting_jane

I wear Etro perfume, and there are only 2 places in London I know of that sell it. I can't find anywhere online (in the UK) that has it in stock. So no cheap perfume for me... :-(

Just bought some man's aftershave from fragrancedirect.co.uk :

1) I bought Dunhill Edition, which you can't find in stores any more
2) The price was excellent (half the in-store price)
3) They delivered in 2 days !

I use fragrance direct all the time and find that they are superb. Look out for the discount codes and quidco too. If youre really lucky they send you discount gift vouchers of £5 off a £20 order.

I have used cheapsmells.com a few times after a recommendation from a colleague. Don't be put off by the name! I got some perfume for my mother-in-law at xmas and it was cheaper than anyone on ebay. Quick delivery too.:D

Hi folks! Here's another site to add to the list. https://www.discountperfumesUK.COM I recently bought my favourite Samsara for just 18.99 pounds. I must say the delivery was quick and by Recorded Delivery. They kept me informed by email about the status of my order and even sent me the track and trace number. That's extra peace of mind. It's a very nice website too.
would certainly recommend!!

can I just add be wary of some of these posts..quite a few are from first posts people trying to recommend their own shops/sites I would presume .. many are thanked 0 times in 0 posts...very strange..

I noticed that as I was reading this thread too! I am always quite wary of posters that are new and recommending sites for us to go and look/shop at. I used Strawberry.net and was stung for customs. I looked at their web site and it does say it will refund for customs charges, but they won't reply to my e-mail's. Has anyone else had this problem?

Yes, customs ended up putting up the overall cost of perfume i got from Srawberry net and I could have got it much cheaper at the shops!

Can you still claim back any customs charges from Strawberrynet? I know people have done in the past. Might be worth a quick e-mail to them.
