My International shopping haul- Emma Hardie and tangle teezer
I
feel like I am an expert on online shopping sites. I can talk at lengths about
the merits and demerits of a particular site over the other. I can give calculations
which product you should buy from which site and when is the best time to buy.
But I have always been afraid to buy from international shopping sites. So
after weeks of lusting and drooling over my wishlist on the international
shopping sites I finally took the plunge and took out my card and shopped
from the feel unique site.
They
had a summer discount going on.
I
bought only two products which is the lowest number ever of products I have bought from any site but I wanted to see if the products come or not.Whenever I buy
online I buy a lot of things at once rather than ordering just a couple at a
time (so I feel less guilty about the packaging).
These
need no introduction in the beauty world and have achieved cult status but are
difficult to get in India till now.
Emma
Hardie Cleansing balm – The original price on the site is GBP 34 and since
there was a discount I got it for GBP 28.90
Tangle
Teezer- The original price on the site is GBP 10.20 and since there was a discount I got it for
GBP 9.18
I made the payment on 7th September . They shipped on 8th September and I received the package on 26th September. The website states that you will receive the product in India in 7 – 18 days.

Now
the deducted amount on my card showed Rs 3563 and I had to pay custom charge of
Rs 655 so the total cost for the two products with all charges comes to Rs 4218
which is super expensive and it is still
to be seen if the cost is justifiable (b’day is coming in a few months, I
deserve a treat since I work so hard, will get Diwali bonus, I want to look preeetyyyyyy )
Pro
Good
selection of international brands
They
have good discounts going on most of the time
Free
worldwide shipping
Good
customer service (prompt reply to my email queries)
Cons
Customs
charges
Not
all products listed in the site ship to India (eg YSL)

Have you ever shopped from any International online shopping site. What was your experience?
hows tangle teezer?? was hoping to get one soon!!
ReplyDeleteIt's very good and useful for detangling and gives a nice massage to the head while brushing. Generally if you have long hair while brushing you tend to hold one end with one hand to avoid pulling...don't need that with it. very gentle and brushes hair without any tugs and pulls.am very happy with it...just want to see the durability of this one.
