What about VAT/sales taxes and duties?
We prepay VAT on all orders sent to a UK delivery address. If you live outside the UK and are charged sales tax, please send us a copy of the tax receipt by email to info@CheapSmells.com, within 30 days and if sales tax has not already been prepaid, we will be happy to refund your money. We reserve the right, however, to change our tax refund policy at any time without notice. In some cases the sales tax charged may be more than your total order value due to customs administration fees. In these circumstances we are unable to refund more than the original order value.
Please note that whilst Guernsey is not part of the European Union it is part of the Customs Territory of the European Community and therefore orders dispatched to countries within the EU are not liable for customs duties. Where Customs duties have been paid on imports into the European Union (EU), based on the customs value of the goods this incorrect charge will not be reimbursed.
What about P&P?
Delivery to the UK is FREE and international delivery is also FREE if you spend £50 or the equivalent in your local currency. Our FREE option may not be available for larger orders. UK orders of two or more items may be dispatched separately. For all other destinations the delivery charge for posting depends on which delivery method you choose at checkout and are calculated on weight.
Why can’t I order Perfumes, Aftershaves, Nail Varnish or Aerosols to certain delivery countries?
Due to international aviation regulations, certain beauty products are considered too hazardous to be sent by air. This means we are not able to offer all of our products for delivery to every destination. Please accept our apologies for any inconvenience or disappointment caused.
