  • This company believes it is ok to apply horrendous mark up's simply because we live in Australia.
    They also prevent purchases from their cheaper international stores, stores that also stock items they don't.

    I ask of members to black list them, until the commit to an uniform global pricing policy.

    • everyone does this right? I mean, look at steam…

      • Khiel's, Victoria's Secret, and Sephora all do it.

        • MAC and pretty much all the "drugstore" brands like Revlon.

          I heard companies price their products according to where they want to stand in ranking/prestige. No way L'occtaine will sell a cream for the same price as Garnier.

  • probably some local dude who has the exclusive rights and has a deal with them to lock sales that way.

    I haven't seen this brand in years, didn't even know there were stores here.

    • Have been buying their products in Oz for over a decade. There's quite a few stores around. Even one in Hobart

  • @ippy does not make it right.
    @juki wouldn't that be considered illegal as it's a form of market fixing?
    We hold free trade greeements with multiple countries/global regions, so wouldn't restrictions that circumnavigate them would be considered illegal?

    • I think their products are well priced in Australia compared to most other countries.

      Can you name a few countries that are substantially cheaper?

      • I am travelling to Singapore in 2 weeks time and one of their best selling hand cream is A$42 and S$44. Pretty similar pricing in Australia and Singapore. Am sure it will be cheaper in US.

        • Yeah. I found SG more expensive than Australia but found a few things I'd been searching for.

      • L'occtaine plisson shave brush $30usd $100aud
        Cade shave soap $9.50usd $40aud
        Two examples by memory alone.

    • Ultimately it's the consumer's choice whether they want to purchase it or not. I mean yeah, I never buy Loccitane for myself because I find it expensive but I do occasionally as gifts. The problem is that Australia is a teeny market and USA is huge. Their population is huge. There's so much competition, that's why it's cheaper over there. Not to mention their minimum wage is lower.

    • i have no idea, i just thought it may be contractual agreement if ever what you stated was right.
      taxes of various nature also change local prices. there are lots of practices that are borderline legal (even on ozbargain, we mention grey import/market quite often)

      I am no expert of l'occitane as mentionned in my previous post i hadn't even noticed their stores were around. For me it's just a brand with a friendly image. I wouldn't even be able to know how they position themselves thesedays

      I think make up and cosmetics are often cheaper in the US despite the brand (source: female colleagues)

      An urban legend has it people in aus are used to paying more and don't mind doing so (even heard it in a marketing class, 15 odd years ago)

      • Quote juki
        "An urban legend has it people in aus are used to paying more and don't mind doing so (even heard it in a marketing class, 15 odd years ago)"

        What I've found is that people still repeat that story but times have changed in many cases over the past 12 months.

        • what do you mean ? by stating it is an urban legend, i meant i doubt it's veracity. In a lot of cases i think people have no choice to overpay, for various reasons in conjunction to little consumer protection (institution-wise or legally)

          putting everyone in the same bag is not really a good way of thinking either, especially in a place with people with so many backgrounds (just saying it because it wasn't what i meant either, being part of an "urban legend")

        • In recent times with the growing popularity of internet purchasing, improved international mail delivery and cheap international airfares I think most consumers have more choice than ever.

          I think this combined with rapid currency movements have made Australian prices very competitive over the past 12 months (in many cases) whereas over 2 years ago they were much less attractive. It seems many do not share this view so maybe we are looking at different items.

          Of course our government hopes to return to the days of old so these days of competitive pricing for Australians may be for a short period.

  • 90% of their revenue is in one SKU, is it on sale?

    • which one is that?

      • Shia butter hand cream
