I can now give comments on my experience as I recently placed an order from Fragrancenet for the first time as they had a good offer on Bond No.9 New Haarlem and they say this about UK shipping:
"UK shipments, special notice
*Great Britain orders are dispatched from the UK and delivered via Royal Mail with full tracking information.
Please allow 4-7 business days for delivery.
*All VAT/Taxes are included in your shipping cost. You will NOT be subject to further VAT/Taxes when your package is delivered."
Just incase any others in the UK are thinking of ordering and wondering how it works here is a timeline of my order:
21st Sept - Placed order. Payed by Paypal. Order went through okay and was given an order number. The Paypal payment status was Pending action by Fragrancenet.
23rd Sept - Paypal payment status changes to completed and money is taken from my account.
24th Sept - Get an email saying the product is in the warehouse and will be contacted again when its dispatched.
28th Sept - Get an email stating my order has been shipped and includes a Royal Mail tracking number. No information is available when I check the tracking status on Royal Mail website.
29th Sept - Tracking status says they are informed the package will be entering the Royal Mail network (or words to that effect).
2nd Oct - Tracking status says the package is at the Manchester processing centre.
3rd Oct - Package arrives.
Exactly as stated there were no charges. There is no customs slip on the package so I'm not sure how they do it. The address label has Team Air Express Ltd, West Drayton, GB as the return address so maybe that is who forwards it for them. Product was packaged properly in a thick plain cardboard box. Product itself is great too and definately legit. So I can say I'm very happy and my only reservation is the delay in shipping once payment was taken although I expect it was actually shipped somewhere around 24th and was just waiting to get to UK and be assigned a tracking number.

But unfortunately not now. I have filed a dispute with PayPal explaining the situation. Hopefully it will all get resolved once and for all. I loved the thought of a discount but not with their recent business practice....I was using a coupon as well. Oh well.
