I try to buy from stores mostly so I can look at the products before I buy it. Just do your research before purchasing from online shops.

That's really scary and sort of sounds like scammers are at work, or just a really badly run website with awful customer service :(
?I have a few online shops i shop from, but my best advice is do your research purchasing from any online store....Find reviews, google them, look at them on facebook, look for comments under photos and always read either the visitor posts or the reviews given from previous people. If I can't see those I don't shop at that online store.

Yeah I saw that. I prefer to only buy from shops though and if I do buy online it's only from websites I know a lot of people trust.

It depends but I do try and stick with major retailers when buying online. I have bought from some smaller retailers that have had good comments from others in BR after all how would I have found my Bossy brush cleaner without it, but in those cases I have placed a small order to begin with to test the service first.

I wasn't sure if we are allowed to mention stores on the forum? So I removed part of my last post. It does pay to read reviews but generally find most online stores in NZ great to deal with.

Hey Emily-Jane - store mentioning is fine on the forum as long as they're authorised NZ distributors of beauty :)

I guess I live recklessly! I have frequently bought from obscure sites. I guess I've just been lucky so far!

Thank you for all these beauty site shopping recommendations. Unfortunately for my budget I have now seen a bunch of OPI nail polishes that I want from Smellycat (awesome Friends reference). I am trying to fight off the urge to buy them.

I checked that video out. Quite shocked that this is happening closer to home. I do make online purchases but only from reputable companies or recommended sites. Another way is look up reviews online before shopping.

My 5 bottles of perfume arrived from smellycat.co.nz today, carefully wrapped and in pristine condition. I only ordered them over the weekend so didn't expect them until tomorrow at the earliest. Great service!

Auckland has sloooooow service, it's so annoying. Things sent from 2 suburbs away can take a few days to get to me :/

Amy I got:  Dot - Marc Jacobs ( disappointing), Robero Cavelli eau de parfum (love it) Givenchy Very Irresistible (love it) Gucci Guilty (kinda nice) and Gucci Premiere (Gorgeous!!!!).  Been on a perfume binge, that's for sure! Now I want to try some others...

I loved it too Trudi. Of the five of them though, Gucci Premiere was the clear winner, it is just divine!

I've been dying to try some new fragrances. For years I've been gifted perfumes and usually the same ones I already had, so it's been nice to be able to purchase some I haven't tried. I'm loving it. I'm going to try the Kim Kardashian ones next, as they sound musky and I love spicy and musky perfumes.

Yep, 5ml minis. I love it, it's the best way to try them, rather than slow agonising trips to the chemist trying on one at a time. Except..I dropped the Gucci Guilty on the lounge carpet this morning and spilled quite a lot of it...weirdly, it hardly smelt, not a good sign....
