What is your latest haulage?

[aussiemacluvrrr]

^^ Well there you go... I guess that option is out... I think enailsupply still post to australia and postage is around the same as what transdesign was... i cant access the enailsupply website from work so will have to check when i get home...

to be honest, i moved my nail polish collection last night, and i realised it is HUUUUGE and i dont really need any more

so i will live with what i have... i am kinda kicking myself because when i placed my last transdesign order on the 23/4, i was going to do a second order straight away and get the other stuff i wanted but i didnt, and now i cant

im hanging to get some OPI nail envy maintenance

i think im going to go back to using maiandjays because they do free priority postage for 10+ bottles... but they dont seem to stock orly

 

[vintageroses]

^^ I tried to find the shipping on the site but i don't see it!! I have no idea why, maybe i'm just too tired. HAHA

Hah oh noooo that's sad

Hopefully maiandjays has it! hahah oooh how many polishes do you have!? HAHA I wanted to get a mini nail polish rack from transdesign, looks like it might cost me so much more now

sighhss

HOLY CRAP! Just read on Jeanette's blog that OPI are also demanding all etailers pull their products off their sites... So Transdesign is "liquidating" all OPI stock and soon you wont be able to get it from any online store.. how sad... what the f**K is this world coming to? Money grabbing bastards...

Excuse my french, but I'm really disappointed

 

[vintageroses]

URGH!

Just found another site on ebay!!!

^I'm boycotting OPI. Seriously they can go f**k a duck! I'm so sick of this crap. It's just getting rediculous how companies are just trying to strangle every single penny out of customers, especially us over seas ones. But we hold the power. We don't *need* to buy their stuff, we choose to buy it with our hard earned dollars. So I'm choosing not to buy your overpriced pretentious nail polish anymore OPI jerks!

Its going to be a massive pain in the ass, but I'm thinking the only way to order from them now is to use a forwarding service like you girlies use for Sephora.. or if you have someone that does CP's for you.. Order it to their house and then they can forward it on... I'm still really skeptical about thier reasoning for changing their shipping policy.. If it was the issue with hazardous materials then all other nail polish sellers would be changing their policy as well..... And they dont seem to be... Some other sites we should look into are: www.head2toebeauty.com www.8ty8beauty.com www.enailsupply.com

Out of curiosity I have filled my card at transdesign with 19 nail polishes and the shipping with UPS is even worse than we thought. The shipping for 19 fullsize bottles of nail polishes would be 160USD+. 120USD+ for the UPS shipping calculated by weight and 40USD for the shipping of hazardous goods. I am beyond mad right now. Why is USPS such a diva right now?

Now after TD H2T have removed OPI from their website and it is only a matter of time till 8ty8 will follow I think. 8ty8 doesn't take international orders right now anyhow but this is a matter of principle.
I can't understand why OPI doesn't want their products to be sold online. They will lose so many sales with this move. I wish I knew how many percent of their sales are made with etailers.. I can only guess.. maybe 20%?

This whole nail polish drama wouldn't be as bad if it just would be about OPI. Then I would think.. ok OPI.. you don't want my cash? Fine. Other brands will happily step in.
But now that TD stopped shipping via USPS I am scared that others will follow. Who can pay over 160 USD for 19 bottles of nail polish? Does this high shipping include an own cute security guard? Dressed with nothing else but a towel and holding a bottle of champagne? If not I don't get how the shipping for 19 bottles of polish can be that much.

^For that price there had damned well better be a cute security guard with the polish. I'm talking a 10/10! And he had better be good at giving me a manicure too because I will demand that service as well!

^I don't get these increased fees at all. It seems to me that UPS has suddenly realized that they can make a HUGE profit because of the influx of orders coming through from over seas buyers and have decided to up their prices. How come it was okay to send polish before but now its not?? Seriously whats going to happen on the plane ride over? Is Ruby Pumps going to take a plane down?

Why can't we just have our pretty polishes like we used to last week?! I can't believe so much can happen in just a few days.

Me neither.

I have heard a while ago that USPS changed something with their shipping policy but why does TD care now? They didn't care the months before and it's over half a year ago I think that I heard rumours about a USPS change.

Out of pure misery I bought two sets of Nail Envy on ebay yesterday. Then I will have two backups of Nail Envy Matte and three backups of the original nail Envy.. I need more dammit.

I also will try to get my hands on the OPI polishes that are still on my wishlist but I won't post swatches of them because.. what for, right?

I just really hope that brands like Misa, Chg, CC etc will be available on ebay with USPS shipping and also on H2T. When they all change their shipping we are lost outside of the US.

Dammit OPI and TD and USPS.. you happy now?

 

[vintageroses]

^^

i'm just painting my nails & thinking about how i won't be able to get these polishes at a low cost anymore makes me really wanna

they are just so mean. & yes i hope H2T will still charge reasonable shipping

it's really not our fault we don't live in the US to get cheap nail polishes & makeup. this sucks big time.we are always on the losing end.

If anyone wants, I can get OPI at about $11-12AUD per bottle locally - I don't know how that compares to USD pricing though

Oh I love BIG! I am using it since three or four weeks now and I can't go back to my old shampoo. I used John Frieda again after two weeks using BIG and I didn't liked it at all. BIG + Jungle conditioner =

^I picked it up at the Kit Cosmetics free standing counter in Myer. The toner is amazing (for my skin anyway). This is my 3rd bottle of it. I also use the Enzyme Cleansing Gel which is non-foaming but great for my oily skin.
