Had anyone ordered perfume from Strawberrynet?

Is it genuine ? I paid $20 extra for some O de Lancôme from a dept store as I had a gift voucher but I would rather get it cheaper online. (I am in Australia). I recently got a mascara from Strawberrynet & it was a bit dry so I'm worried if it's old stock so didn't know whether to risk it for perfume.

There are an awful lot of very bad reviews around about Strawberrynet.

Julialyne · 27/04/2012 11:56

Thanks I won't trust it then. I'd rather pay a bit more & know it's genuine.

I buy my Aveda from there and it's definitely the real thing. I've never had any problems.

I got some cream and when it arrived in UK, I had to pay lots of tax for it. I contacted them and they very kindly refunded the tax payment. So overall, my experience was good.

where is this site based? On my comp it appears to be Bulgarian.

BearBehavingBadly · 27/04/2012 12:17

Thought Strawberrynet was based in Hong Kong?
When I got my Calvin Klein from them the postage mark stated HK.
Didn't have to pay any tax & it was definitely the real stuff.

I have never ordered from there but I do know it has been trading for a long long time - over 10 years

vogonmothership · 27/04/2012 12:29

although how this helps I don't know Grin

rumpleteaser · 27/04/2012 12:37

Ah yep it just has the site in different languages according to where you are in the world.

If it was in Europe there wouldn't be taxes I don't think?

rumpleteaser · 27/04/2012 12:40

it also says on the site that you can't return fragrances.

I used to get perfume from a site called beautybay that was cheaper but it was about 10yrs ago so don't know if it still is or even if the site is still running.

savoycabbage · 27/04/2012 12:40

Mine came from HK Julia and I live in Australia too. We don't have to pay tax unless it's over $1000.

Julialyne · 27/04/2012 13:37

Thanks.
savoy cabbage- have you ordered any make up as well? If so did it seem genuine? I like O de Lancôme perfume & Lancôme Definicils mascara. Do you know of any other fragrance & make up sites delivering to Australia?

No but I got a free face powder and it was fine too.

Macy's deliver here but I don't know if they deliver fragrance. They have 25% off international orders at the moment.

Julialyne · 27/04/2012 14:05

Thanks. Savoy cabbage.
I've emailed Strawberrynet a couple of times saying that I'm disappointed with the mascara. They are just not replying. I think I might as well just pay full price & know it will be ok.

I once ordered perfume from Strawberry.net. I waited ages and ages then got a letter from Customs saying I had to pay £14 duty before they would release it. It had come from Hong Kong. I was furious.
Have since used Escentual which was brilliant.

Julialyne · 27/04/2012 15:30

Thanks Thermalsocks. Think I will just spend the money & buy it in he shops from now on. At least I'll know it's genuine. At Xmas they usually do a gift box with body lotion & shower gel so I will treat myself to one then.

Yes ordered from them twice. Great delivery etc however in Ireland got stung for custom duty on the second order as it comes from Hong Kong so won't order from them againSad

gregssausageroll · 27/04/2012 18:30

Dawneonna are you thinking of the other perfume site that cannot be named where the bloke went all stalkerish may be? I used strawberry lots before moving back to the uk. Never had a problem. Use feel unique now thou.

ChiefPotterer · 27/04/2012 20:33

scottishmummy · 27/04/2012 20:36
