Oh, pretty! So this is a mix?On another note, for those who aren't sure about the flakies, maybe this will change your mind:

Oh no I hope you get it sorted.Arrgh.. So I'm using Stackry for US-only restocks / sellers and I made a new shipment a couple of days ago. I used them before and everything went ok. But now they messaged me that they can't ship the package to me because it contains nail polish and they don't have a shipping licence for this... so they are proposing to either send the packages back to the retailers, ship them via ground to a US or Canada adress or to wait several months until they have obtained said licence.
What?
Anyone else encountered this problem before?
I had to laugh a bit though, because the message said "the packages contain large amounts of nail polish". It's 10 bottles. Girl, you haven't seen our stashes....
Do please let me know how it goes, I'm panicking slightly now.Oh sorry, got confused, Germany, not Australia. I was obviously thinking of someone else. That is odd, could've just been some busybody packing it. Have you got anyone to ship it to in the US or Canada to forward it to you? Hope you manage to sort it out. I have just consolidated my packages, so will let you know what they say. Bloody hope this isn't the end of my US nail polish buying. The Royal Mail is already being such an arse about nail polish, I really don't want to not be able to buy directly from the US. I do have a friend whom I could ask to ship my stuff should the Stackry forwarding fail, but I can't keep asking her all the time, so if this falls through then I guess that's it. Not happy.
Lol, you big enabler you! I doubt I could make my nails look this good mind you...On another note, for those who aren't sure about the flakies, maybe this will change your mind:

It's one of ILNP's flakies. I don't know it's exact name, but if you want to browse their page you're going to find it!What is that glorious rainbowf flakie and how do i get it?!
It's a mix of 4: #paradoxh #neonrosebudh #openfieldsh #icehousehWhat is that glorious rainbowf flakie and how do i get it?!
I was just coming to say that. She said she dropped the polishes in water like marbling, but didn't mix them. She is very talented, comes up with great ideas. Sponging the flakies onto the nail can give similar effect too.
I like that toffee brownThanks, Anitacska! I have not really bought much from lllarowe either (just 9 this year I checked!). Mainly due to the currency situation and I've got a 1000% new bathroom and 99% new kitchen on their way so there's not so much room for NP.
Thanks, I'm already better now. I never get the flu really, it's just trying wear me down, but I'm always stronger.
Very pretty! I have not worn this one either. Def. looks better on the nails than in the bottle.
And now it's the purple week!
Sorry to hear this. Hope you will get your stuff. Maybe someone in the US can help you.
And 10 is not a large amout, it hardly equals one in np terms!
Oh, pretty! So this is a mix?
Lastly the current mani: Elevation Mount Meru and Limestone. MM was really thick but it's ok now. Limestone had the bad brush but it's a very nice polish. I recommend it to those who love white polish! (These two are maybe not the best choises with my red hands .)
That's not a bad idea! Lots of extra shipping cost though, but better than nothing. I'll let you know what happens with mine. I have checked and it does say in their terms that they can't forward nail polish, don't know if that's new or they've suddenly decided to be difficult or it could just be a one-off. In any case, it leaves me worried about any future purchases.Do please let me know how it goes, I'm panicking slightly now. If they refuse yours too, I may just forward mine without consolidating, hopefully if they don't open the packages at all they won't refuse to ship. As you say, it would be really depressing to lose a service I've come to rely on, and I don't have anyone in the US I can use.
Hmm, interesting. Wonder if the regulations about the nail polish came in effect after that date? Oh well, we shall see. Of course not being able to order from the US would probably save me a significant amount of money. That said, with RC now stocking more brands than Llarowe, I don't really need to go elsewhere. And luckily most of the European webshops still deliver to the UK. On that note, Pshiiit really could get on with that restock now, she announced it ages ago, don't know what she's waiting for.I remember checking with them before I set up my account, and they said they could - and being a hoarder, I still have the emails:
Me to them:
Hi, can you handle nail polish for shipping to UK?
Thanks,
Them to me:
Hello Anne,
Yes we can.
Thank you,

I will kick up a fuss if they lied to me!
Thanks for this, at least now I know I don't need to stalk Pshiiit on FB and IG. I thought she had received her shipment already since she had all 6 flakies. Weird. Please keep us posted on the Stackry situation. I consolidated 5 packages yesterday, still waiting for them to email me when it's done, it's taking longer than usual, so I might be receiving one of those messages too.I hope they'll ship you your packages, Anitacska and PearlyQueen! This was their message: Subject: Your Stackry Shipment! Prohibited Items. I am so very sorry about this, but your packages both contain large amounts of nail polish and nail polish is an item that is prohibited from being shipped without a proper shipping license. Unfortunately at this time, we do not have this license and cannot ship these items to you via any air shipping method. The only thing that we can do for these items is either return them to the retailer for you or ship them via Ground service somewhere in the US or Canada. We will be able to ship these types of items for an additional fee within the next several months once the license is obtained, so if you would like us to hold these items for you until then, we could do that as well. I am very sorry for the inconvenience that this has caused, please let me know if you have any questions. If need be, a representative will follow-up with you as soon as possible. You can also add to this ticket by responding to this email. Please note that our working hours are Monday through Friday 9am-5pm EST. Teresa Phillips Your Stackry Team -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I replied and asked how long it'll take for them to get that licence. Not too thrilled about additional fees but at least it sounds as if they will be able to ship nail polish "officially" in a couple of months? And concerning the EP restock, Pshiiit just said on twitter that she hasn't received the shipment yet and that it apparently won't be a surprise restock.
Ooo, vibrant! Love it!
