Big $250+ order from BeautyEncounter.com -- Safe/Legit?

Thread Starter 
I've done the whole Google shindig and wound up back on here hearing that BeautyEncounter is most definitely a legit, safe website to shop from. 99% good feedback sans one or two unhappy people (that I've noticed in the threads I read).

What's the problem?

Well, I'm about to make a big order from them. Over $250+ worth of fragrances. Just wanting to know if anybody else has bought 4 or more fragrances from them before in one shipment, and how did it go? How's there shipping/handling/care of the equipment?

Just asking so that I hope I can get some answers to put my mind at ease/rest. I get nervous when I buy fragrances online. I would order from Fragrancenet, but they are currently out of DHI, so I'm going to give BeautyEncounter a spin.

Thanks.

It's been a while from this outfit, but I have made several purchases in excess of $400 and never had a problem.

Only one way to find out.

OP, is there a good coupon code or layering of coupons going on with this site now?

Thanks for the prompt responses, guys. Might just order three of the fragrances from Fragrancenet (a place, outside of gift certificates and an unwrapped Play Intense, I've never had any problems at all with) and the DHI from BeautyEncounter, and just see how it all goes.

Well, the reasoning for the DHI order explains itself, but as for the idea of going full-speed with everything else, they have YSL's La Nuit de L'Homme down to $51 and I spotted Spicebomb for $90 (a few dollars cheaper than Fragrancenet's offering).

BeautyEncounter is fine... if you're worried you can pay through Amazon.com... it's one of the payment options. I buy from them all the time. Their shipping/handling is fine.

So you don't have a coupon code?

I found you one,

BENEW gives you $10 off a purchase of $80 OR $15 off a purchase of $100. Bundle that with the free shipping over $60.00 and there's some deals to be had.

You guys ever bought any Creeds from them? There's one I got my eye on there, but I've heard rather polarizing accounts. I can get the one I'm looking at for almost $40 less than Fragrancenet, but like I've said, the reviews seems to be rather inconsistent...

Ordered the other three frags at FragranceNet.

Ordered DHI at BeautyEncounter. Got it for $87 thanks to Christian's helpful coupon mention. Free shipping. Excited to see how they do business! Pumped up! Hate waiting until next week lol.
