I've just been watching a Youtube haul video by Shahleena, and she said she gets hit with Customs charges every time she orders from Makeup Geek

I have been lucky recently. The past 2 or 3 times I have been fine and not been charged even though they always state the full value on the customs form on the front of the package but it really is the luck of the draw.

 

[Anitacska]

no customs !!!!!!!

Oh wow!

As I said before I use a mail forwarding service in the US and this way I get to declare the value, so no customs. I've just ordered 5 matte lipsticks and 6 dazzle shadows from Mac US as it's so much cheaper (plus got $30 off, unheard of in the UK).

Yer mac USA have a promo offer on at the moment Hun I had email for it Spend $50 dollars get ten off Oh by the way I know mac is cheaper in us It's prob the same as duty free prices I think maybe a little more That's why I have the mac up there in my pic Two lots of those lustre drops two bocas lippys The lipstick is going to my sister the pinky one it's too bright for me You know the miley Cyrus x

How much u think u saved Hun including shipping to uk from the USA You prob not saved that much ? Bearing in mind by time u paid shipping it prob cost u the same near enough in pounds x

 

[beautycool]

But then again Hun x u prob did save a little as I don't think shipping is much I just do it for the limited ed stuff too that I know I cannot get here as sold out and mainly the price of stuff I had three boys tom ford In my box £60 for three it cost me Where as here they were like £26 each £78 pounds roughly plus like £5 shipping few from selfridges then they wasn't doing the black box when u buy three as I phoned then up Or they had run out lol So £84 for three tiny boys I don't think so lol Where as I think I paid 20 or 21 pounds each for one I know I paid shipping but that was 30 odd dollars which wasn't a lot And the urban decay was cheaper too Even though u can't get it in uk x now I got it on the restock on ulta I'm really wanting some more mac but when we go out to states hopefully hopefully august / sept I try n pick up some mac eyeshadows then as they are perm them ones Arnt they ? I really want to go to the cco out there and see if any tom ford in local ones to us near villa But prob not x Enjoy your goodies Anita when they come I want reviews lol

 

[Marsha Pomells]

There's more than £400 pounds worth of goods there Tom ford mac etc This came during last week I'm so glad it arrived all intact no customs !!!!!!!

You got the TF Soleil pallete, as well? I'm still waiting to try mine out. What do you think of it? Even picked up 2 shadows with it, I'm saving them for something special...

I use a forwarding address as well, so no customs charges for me. Royal Mail kept my 2 new Melt additions due to customs charges, but my first order was custom charge free and I ordered 3 lipsticks... Didn't think about my forwarding address at that point, except for ordering from MAC U.S. in a rush to get something. But I'm really dreading when the 10 new additions I've ordered from the U.S. turn up, Royal Mail will love the money leaving my bank card

 

[Anitacska]

Bearing in mind by time u paid shipping it prob cost u the same near enough in pounds x

I don't think so. I paid $170 for 11 products, that's around £110, those will cost £179.50 in the UK. Shipping will be no more than £20.

Also it be a little more wouldn't it as you saved also $30 dollars on the price So add that to the total and you saved like £25 maybe x I don't know $220 dollars instead of $170 dollars I don't know what $200 works out to be But good job the $30 dollars got knocked off otherwise it would of been a little dearer and less saving So well worth it Is that with tax too the $110 dollars for 11 items x
