Anybody used direct cosmetics?

Hi, I was wondering if anybody had used direct cosmetics for perfume & if everything went ok as i can't believe some of their prices.

    I used to be an agent years ago, stuff is genuine!!!

    I have never ordered on line so I don't know what the service is like!!

    They were always reliable so I think would be ok!!!

    May have a little look myself - thanks for the heads up!!!

  • Hi, have used them a few times and had no problems at all with them - quick delivery and good customer service if you have any problems (had one item missing and it was delivered the next day).
  • cheers, I think I will go for it, the britney spears fantasy is more than half the price it is in the shops.

    I too have used them, usually for pressies, and oh stock ups.
    Best bargain recently was 15ml Organza EDP for £6.25 :j

    Good service and delivery as well as good prices.
  • Hi
    I used them to buy perfume for my girlfriend. the price was good, delivery was fast but...

    I believe they sent me a previously returned product because it wasn't what i call "Brand New untouched". i had no choice but to accept it because i had left it too late to change and it was probably there busiest time of the year In february.

    i had the same problem as loonyj i'm afriad, it looked a bit tatty, that's ok if its just for you but mine was for a birthday pressie. I've tried a couple others too with no problems, www.beautyrocket.co.uk and www.boots.com no complaints with either (except at boots you have to pay full price but i couldn't find it cheap anywhere else!)
