My dear Proust, this is the most timely and accurate observation I could imagine seeing this morning. Thank you.

I can only answer in general terms. Sometimes the person responsible for approving reviews gets backlogged. In the past, I have waited many weeks for a review to be approved. Once, unbeknownst to...

Fantastic! I will follow up on this soon now. Thanks again for your efforts on my behalf kind sir! :kiss:

Brilliant! Thank you! :smiley:

I was trying to contact them about an order. It has been way too long now for it to just be because they were busy over the holidays. You can tell them they need to offer a phone number or a good...

^^^ :thumbup:

My Maryland package still shows no movement. I have given up. If it shows up eventually, that will be nice, but I will not stress over it. I am sure I will have plenty more packages in 2021 to...

Just heard from someone there. "The site has been closed." I suppose that must include the customer service number as well because it is impossible to get through to anyone no matter which option...

The semi annual sale continues. Select items up to 54% off. No code required.

My best advice is not to hold your breath. :cheesy:

Yes, it has said that for months now.

Well, the last time I communicated with someone through the eBay store a few months ago, they seemed to think the website was fine. At least they thought so until I sent them a screen shot of the...

I have not ordered from ScentedMonkey in probably 3-4 years, but I have been trying to access their website on and off now since at least November. It still shows down. I belled their customer...

This is very helpful, too. Thank you. :smiley:

Okay, I thought so. Thanks. I am not a facebook member. Never have been interested in those sorts of sites, but thanks for the suggestion. :smiley:

Thanks, nosey74. One must be a facebook member to use the though, yes?

Oh, yes, that is very helpful, thank you Bonnette. :thumbup:

The only number I saw was an overseas number. I used to have a number here in the U.S. for them, but I cannot find it now, unfortunately.

This is true. Oh, well, I shall keep trying. Thanks, though.

Thank you. That is exactly what I have been doing. No one replies to emails. I think they must be having website issues, but I cannot explain why there has been no replies to emails unless staff...

^^^ You are very welcome.

I have been trying to contact Lutens for some time now. The contact link on the website does not work. I have tried to use it with two browsers, but it does not work. There is a customer service...

Oh, I am sorry. I misunderstood what you said. Yes, some things are excluded from the offer. Sorry.

Hmmm, well at least you were able to take advantage of it. I have not decided on anything to order. I do not recall NM ever offering this promotion again in January. As I recall, they usually...

You are welcome, chaps. :smiley:

I love Fracas and Alameda although the latter was sadly discontinued.

I have yet to try Bandit, but it is one of the fragrances for which the house is most well known and a favourite for many.
...

I think this applies to beauty, too. Use code NEWYEAR

Purchase must be at least $200 before tax and shipping. One offer per customer.

Expires 08 January 21 at 10:00 p.m. Central Time.
...

Nothing is the same as it used to be many years ago. Post delivery used to be as dependable and predictable as the sunrise.

Checked my Maryland package this morning, and it still shows no...

:laugh: Too funny!

Well, I thought USPS was making an effort to catch up. I was outside about an hour ago and spied one of their delivery vehicles down the block. Today is Sunday, so I was somewhat surprised to see...

Thank you, Kash! Given the New Year's sale, it would not be a huge blind buy risk. They have discovery sets with 4 fragrances, 10ml each for £75 minus the 30% discount. Sounds like a good way to...

Thank you. It is very old school chypre, yes? I liked my sample, and it was probably going to be the next purchase, but I was not positive.

Thank you. :smiley:

Both of my packages arrived just moments ago. I left the gate to the property unlocked to be sure there would be no delivery issues. Instead of coming inside and walking the short distance to the...

This is essentially what I was thinking, but I would suggest lightly steaming it instead of boiling it. I would be interested to know what happens if you try it. :smiley:

I bought Jasmin Antique blindly, and it is gorgeous. Reminds me a lot of Lush Lust except Lust is more indolic and has a smokiness that JA does not have. I love them both.

I am now contemplating...

^^^ Agreed. If they arrive safely by end of day, I will be happy enough.

I have two packages that are supposed to be delivered today. I have one postman. Tracking shows both packages are out for delivery. One is supposed to be delivered by 5:15 p.m. and the other one...

Neither was I, hednic. I was researching iris as a note and stumbled upon a YouTube video wherein the reviewer (one of my favourite reviewers in fact) spoke a little about the house and mentioned...

The house's newest release is supposed to be a lovely Oriental Spicy fragrance with a gorgeous iris note. The name is divine----The Hour of Dusk & Gold :engel017:

Has anyone tried...

Yes, indeed! I am very pleased. :smiley:

Well, two of my packages should arrive tomorrow, one from California and one from Illinois. The Maryland package still has not shown any movement, so I still have one lost little sheep. Perhaps it...

You are both very welcome. :smiley:

Neiman Marcus has extended this offer through today.

Includes beauty. Use code JANGC

Ends 01 January 21 at 10 p.m. Central Time.

Wow.... :sad:

Thank you.

I most heartily agree with you, and I think this applies in many other areas as well. More and more, with each passing year, I think to myself and sometimes comment to my old friends,...

98 years old....that is a long time to live....almost a century. Well, kids, the fact is we are rapidly losing an entire generation of people now, and in many cases, that will be sped up by Covid. ...

Oh, that must be why I had not heard of it then. I would love to test it, though. Sounds like it would be very nice. Thanks.

This must be a very recent release, yes? I love Amouage, but I had not heard of this one until today.

Chypre-Siam is a lovely anachronism. If someone offered it blind to me to sniff and told me it was a vintage 1950s-1960s fragrance, I would believe him without question. I do not know of anything...

Yes, it must have been because this morning the package shows in Anaheim. At least it is moving. Another package is still being held hostage in Maryland if I can believe the tracking. Tracking on...

I had been considering Full Incense, Chocolate Greedy, and Jasmine Full.

:laugh:

I wonder if anyone who has been on the "inside" at the USPS has ever considered writing an exposé? :lolk:

That sounds unbelievably disorganised! No wonder they have so many problems..... :tongue:

Well, here is a new one on me. I have a package coming from California as of yesterday. Tracking shows package "accepted" at a specific post office location, yet it also shows "acceptance pending."...

I go through this every Christmas, so it is not per se a Covid related problem. My best friend lives less than 5 hours from here and always posts my Christmas present 2 day priority mail at least...

I do not feel I fell victim to anything. I decided I wanted the item after some careful deliberation.

My point was that making the listing look like a brand new listing with one of the items...

No, that is my point exactly. That link disappeared, so it looked as though it was a brand new listing and one sold within the hour.

You are welcome, hednic. :smiley:

Always I have felt eBay has been less than honest in many ways since it was purchased and went public, and I just discovered another less than honest action. They are trying to create an illusion of...

That is outrageous! I guess the lesson is ether do not buy from this house, or decant the entire bottle once you have it. :sad::angry:

No, I have not seen it. Thank you, hednic! :smiley:

I have been thinking about the grey market and how it works. Apparently, as I understand it, perfumes from retailers become available in lots or something, and grey market sellers bid on them. ...

Okay, thank you. They seem to rotate these offers pretty frequently, so I am sure the 37% will be back soon. I just hope they do not raise the prices on the fragrances as the same time. That is...

I just tried googling a fragrance and Fragrancenet and clicking on the "shopping" tab. It shows 35%. Am I doing something wrong??

No, it was a manufacturer sealed refill bottle that I just purchased and opened for the first time. I opened it and used a clean, fresh pipette to transfer some of it to an atomiser. The liquid is...

Has anyone purchased from this eBay seller, perfumecosmetics4u-2009 ? If so, where do they ship from? Thanks!

Thank you. I suspect that is the case for most wearers. I really think I must have a very old and/or poorly stored bottle.

I almost purchased 1-2 of their fragrances this year, but I decided against it because I remembered this thread. Sorry to hear this. I suggest you contact them. Good luck.

I suppose that is possible. I am going to wear it once or twice more before I make any final decisions on it.

I think perhaps my bottle is just too old then. I accidentally spilt quite a bit on myself last night, and it was noticeable for about an hour, and then it wore very close to the skin for just a...

For anyone who has worn Mugler Alien Essence Absolue, how does it wear on your skin? It is a close skin scent? Does it have much sillage and/or projection? How is the longevity?

I recall Rogue offered a 20% discount for Black Friday. Is this the only time of year they offer a discount?

I just purchased something from them! They do have fast shipping, and they pack well in a good box. In fact, they have the best shipping of any grey market seller I have purchased from before.
...

If USPS has a "naughty list," Bonnette, I surely am at the top of it, so you are in excellent company! :cheesy:

Bark, glad your perfume finally arrived safely. I am sure you will receive your...

Surely they must realise regular customers have noticed all of this.

I was looking at a MFK fragrance some months back and was shocked to see that Fragrancenet's price was the exact same price...

You are welcome. :smiley:

It is not much of a discount, I know, but I thought I would post it anyway.

Use code BEAUT10SF

Ends 11:59 p.m. tonight.

Yes, they have done. I noticed it a long time ago. I looked at an MFK fragrance a few weeks ago, and they had it priced the same as NM. I agree with Trilby's assessment.

Gosh, it was a LONG...

^^^ :laugh: Yes, looks about right!

Well, at least your Macy's order arrived. I am supposed to have a FedEx delivery Saturday. Fingers crossed it shows up.

It is Christmas Eve now, though, so I am letting go of any frustrations...

https://www.vox.com/the-goods/22195212/postmaster-louis-dejoy-christmas-holiday-package-delays-usps-fedex-ups-delivery

True. It has been this way for years now. Frankly, I do not have much hope for USPS or UPS for that matter.

Ye Gods! I hope they do better than that!! :cheesy:

Another Christmas miracle, Bark! :laugh:

If I were you, I would wait until next week to see if your card comes in. If you cancel now, you start all over from scratch, and the card might arrive...

That has pretty much been my experience, too, Bonnette. I stopped buying from Beauty Encounter for exactly this reason. I told them if they cannot be bothered to ship my expensive perfume in a box...

Well, USPS just delivered one of my packages. I was appalled that the seller once again did not ship in a box even after I specifically said "ship in a box to avoid any sort of damage." It looks...

Good for you, Bark! I do not have much experience with DHL, but I have never had a problem with them the few times I have had shipping through them.

My package from Connecticut is arriving today!...

Well after four days with no update on tracking, one of my packages which was scheduled to be delivered today has finally updated tonight to "arriving late." That was expected, of course, whence...

None of them is perfect, Frank, but in my experience, FedEx is the best of the lot. Right now, though, with Covid raging and all sorts of other problems, I think all carriers are having problems. ...

Of course, and one would think they could understand the difference between something you can readily replace and something that would be hard to replace if not impossible to replace such as rare...

Make them sort the mail on their route? Of course that would slow down delivery! I am in despair of the USPS. In my youth, our post was delivered by 10 a.m. most every day, and we had the same...

That is the sort of thing that could push me over the edge!! Talk about "going postal" !!! :angry::angry::angry:

I can tell you something else about vacation hold. If you have your post on vacation hold, your packages STILL will go out in the postman's vehicle. He just will not deliver them (if he realises...

:laugh::laugh::laugh: I thought this was one solution to keep my perfumes out of the boiling hot delivery vehicles a couple of Summers ago. Boy, was I wrong! I placed my post on vacation a couple...

In these instances, the two are "shipping partners." I have experienced this a few times with perfume orders from Fragrancenet. Also have experienced it with Amazon on occasion.

Consider it preemptive, Bark. Hardly a week will go by before the next bit of aggravation with them. I reached the conclusion long ago that the USPS either should be overhauled and held to some...

I have this same experience regularly. Every time it happens I complain. Once, I caught the postman at my gate and told him he should not scan packages until they are actually delivered. I could...

Sounds all too familiar. I have tried to hold them responsible for years to no avail. After many phone calls and long, long waits on the line to speak to someone, I was told I could write a letter...
