Have heard a few girls saying Strawberry net sell their poducts at cheaper prices because the makeup is starting to go off or has already- would anyone knoe anything about this?

I have 2 creams a clinique trible action moisturizer and also an Elizabeth Arden cream and had problems with the latter.

Hiya!
Just received my order from Strawberry Net. Delighted with the service. No hidden charges for me, just a friendly postman with a box wrapped up in a blue ribbon knocking on my door!! Nice…

Interesting website Janine, I’ve added it to my shopping directory. If you have any more gems like that please let me know. I’m trying to put together a directory of Irish and international shopping sites and am always on the look out for these kind of sites.

Thanks for the info Adam!

If no search is ever random, does that mean they are out to get my poor Mother

My father is a customs officer and informed me that there’s usually no point in chasing after the small packages due to the administration work required (they have drugs to be chasing down) so they usually don’t bother seizing these packages. They’d only do it the odd time, maybe if they’re not meeting their monthly target for revenue or if it’s a quiet day at the post office. Also no search is ever random

I love Strawberrynet too and buy loads of stuff from them, not only because of their prices but they’ve had old favourites of mine on offer which shops here have told me are no longer made (tut tut …). One word of warnng: I don’t know about Dublin, but while cosmetics are keenly priced, perfume is sometimes the same price or more expensive than here in Jersey.

We were buying stuff - mainly chess sets and boards, from the US and were caught by Customs probably two out of three times - it got too expensive ! no more buying in the US, now we stick to Europe….
