I can't find clear info on this. Is there any issues buying perfumes from overseas sites (including ebay) in regards to the postal restrictions regarding liquids? I have had local ebay users refuse to send liquids via austpost.
And also, where do ozbargainers find the best deals on perfumes. most perfumes bargains are easy to find but I seem to struggle finding a good price on a bit more expensive ones like No 5, Creed , Hermes de terre, etc.
Have you tried straberrynet? Don;t they do free shipping?
Im guessing most local ebay sellers refuse to post them because its illegal for them to.

Unless they enter some kind of contract with Aust post.
Chemistwarehouse would be my number 1 place to look. Some of their stuff is cheaper than strawberry net.
The iossue is not about posting liquids. It's the fact that perfume is a Hazardous Material.
The main risk of buying perfumes from overseas is that they are most likely to be fake.
If you use Paypal to purchase, then you will almost certainly be required to post the item back to get a refund… which you cannot do because it is illegal for you to post perfumes. Hence, you are stuffed.
Hi.I have had the exact same issues @samia.It really does depend on the seller.I have purchased from The US/UK/EU and here,with no issues,yet with some sellers,it,s been a nightmare.There seems to be no rhyme or reason as to who will or won,t ship….it comes down to just checking the shipping details or asking the seller what policies they ship by.As for sites that DO ship,here are some fantastic sites :WWW.fragrancex.com,WWW.luckyscent.com,WWW.perfumeemporium.com (use code 232283 as referrer number ),WWW.fragrance-cc.com,WWW.feelunique.com and WWW.fragrancenet.com.These are just a few,and i have a STACK more…i just don,t want to write for hours.The shipping on some of these can be a bit pricey,but it is still cheaper than here (even if you could find some fragrances these sites sell over here ).Let us know how you go.
