From Debenhams? I thought they weren't selling them.
The other one has. Not sure what to do, I don't want to faff about with returning it, but equally they should've sent it with one. Might contact Mac and see what they say anyway.
My Mac order has just come and my Aztec Brick e/s hasn't got the special sleeve on it.

Oops, sorry - yes it was from MAC. I'd had an email saying my Debenhams order had been dispatched, and since my MAC order arrived with the postie in a black envelope I got muddled.From Debenhams? I thought they weren't selling them.

I think I read somewhere that Debenhams would have them on 29th January

I thought I read 28th which is Monday, but either way it's next week. I think it's gonna be an online exclusive, but I may be wrong.

Thanks. I think I'll wait and see if Debenhams put it up before the 10% off offer ends.

Thank you - I've ordered the pretty case and the four duochrome shadows. I like a few of the lip products, but they'll have to wait now until after pay-day. Hopefully they won't sell out, and maybe Debenhams will get them, so i can get the points

Has anyone heard about this? http://lacquersofkasterborous.blogspot.co.uk/2013/01/they-destroyed-my-pretties.html Apparently Royal Mail destroys packages sent abroad if they contain nail polish. What I don't know is whether they do it with incoming packages too. I bloody hope they don't because I will cry if I can't order nail polish from the US anymore.

I did read something somewhere about not being able to ship nail polish abroad anymore. I believe the US doesn't allow nail polish to be sent abroad either, but somehow they get through. One ebay seller I have bought from mis-describes the goods so as to hopefully not get stopped and checked. Some websites say they can't send certain cosmetics abroad, too.
If they stuck to the letter of the law, then there would be a lot of brands we wouldn't be able to get here anymore
I don't consider nail polish to be particularly hazardous

That's probably the only way to ship n/p, though it is illegal and the (private) seller might be in big trouble.I did read something somewhere about not being able to ship nail polish abroad anymore.

It's inflammable, that's the issue. It's the same with perfumes.
ETA: Commercial businesses are, of course, still allowed to ship n/p. But they will have a distribution license.

Wow, that all seems a bit excessive! Yes, naturally you'd want to make sure everything was well padded to prevent breakage, but I've never heard of ID8000 labels! It doesn't read as if you can take the package into the Post Office and pay over the counter for postage either, which is rather strange.

It would be interesting to find out the cause of these new rules.

Exactly! Plus some brands are not available in the UK (eg. Zoya, indie polishes) and it really bugs me that I'm not allowed to buy these brands anymore due to shipping. Hopefully USPS will continue to let packages through, the sellers usually put things like crafts supplies on the customs form.
I posted some information in the n/p thread. Fedex and DHL are still allowed to ship, but not USPS. It wouldn't matter if it weren't for the large price difference.
