@andreaallylady yes definitely a shame
Although it appears that Sephora
won’t ship to the MyUS address it will ship to the WannitUS address which I
have done orders through & really enjoyed (service & price). I can’t wait
for Sephora to hit AU – fingers crossed it really is true a store will be
here in Dec!

Great review. All of those variables and extra costs seem to make it a bit
of a minefield so not sure if I would use a parcel forwarding service.
I recently placed a small order with Sephora to see how I go (having it
shipped to a friend in the US who is going to kindly repackage it as small
as possible and forward on to me) I was mindful to buy things that are
fairly small to keep the weight and dimensions down but things have a way
of thwarting me so I’ll see if that works
Also, re the credit card… I put my billing address as my Australian
address (so my bank wouldn’t flag it as suspicious which they would do if I
put in a US address) and used my friends address for the shipping. All
worked out and it’s been shipped to her. I guess as far as they’re
concerned I could just be buying a gift for someone overseas? Happens all
the time so doesn’t really look suspicious.

I order from bath and body works , elf and Victoria’s Secret and nordstrom
(great for mac stuff and free shipping) and send them to my us address if I
want sephora or ulta I just get my mail forwarder to buy for me – I use a
paypal company called hop,shop,go

I loved the haul you had, but for me the hassle and shipping/handling costs
far out way the advantage for me. Yes I know some things like tarte and UD
aren’t readily available here in Aus and we pay more for products here, but
the guys and girls in shops like Mecca and the counters in myer and dJ’s
get paid a lot more than SA’s in the US.. Also I love going into Mecca and
myer and getting the great service and also I’m supporting Aussie jobs
thanks for the info on this because I was thinking about doing an order,
but I don’t think I’ll bother.. Hopefully we will see things like tarte and
urban decay in Aussie shops soon xx

Thank you for this video! It has been very helpful. Just wanted to ask you
xo
something though I had the same experience when I ordered it was cancelled
a day later as well, did you end up able to place an order? If not how long
did it take for you to get your money back because I’m still waiting for
mine

Hi, I use http://www.qannu.com, its an aussie company that has a wearhouse in
California. I didnt have to pay a membership fee or any monthly fee’s, and
ive used the service 3 times in the last few months, twice ive just bought
the products straight from their websites and once through Quannu’s buy for
me which was a sephora order. Ive been really happy with their service! it
doesnt go by weight or dementions it goes by the cost of the products, so
if its under $250 value USD it only costs $50USD to ship!!! not sure how
much it goes up to over $250 and they will combine your packages and hold
everything for you for up to 6 weeks. The most ive waited for the package
to arrive has been 7 days once ive made payment!!! You should definatly
check out their website I love it sooooooooo much!!!

Ive come across a new forwarding service run by a lady from Melbourne, i
was a little leery at first, so i used Pay Pal for peace of mind. Turns out
shes legit and quite helpful. I think her fees a reasonable and she offers
pickup. She even supplied me with coupon codes and free samples! I will
certainly use her again. If anyone is interested her site is

If you haven’t already, check out tarazz . Com it sells heaps of items from
the
sephora including that tarte pack and marc jacobs beauty items
prices are pretty good and they are based in Australia. I so wish it was
easier for us with beauty items though! I still pray they bring a sephora
here hehe

Hi! I work for an Aussie/Kiwi owned company called WannitUS. They offer
package forwarding services from the U.S. but you won’t pay all the extra
fees you mentioned. Low shipping fees and friendly, reliable service. Give
them a try….you won’t be disappointed. WannitUS dot com.
