I really like buying perfume testers, I have found some great bargains. Took a star away for shipping fee and delivery time wich are both a bit ridiculous to Sweden

I have been a customer of Direct…
I have been a customer of Direct Cosmetics.com for over 8 years and I have always had excellent service, great products and some fantastic bargains. Their orders are always very well packed, the delivery is prompt and the prices are excellent. They are my go to supplier for birthdays and xmas presents.

Ordered a fragrance from this site as a gift. I then received a message after 24 hours claiming that the order could not be fulfilled due to 'unforseen circumstances' and a refund was promptly issued. However, the same fragrance then miraculously reappeared on the site at double the price I originally paid!!!
If you want more money for items that you've already sold, maybe you should be honest with customers rather than hiding behind the old 'unforseen circumstances' story.
Can't recommend this company and won't be using again.
Xmas gifts
I've just received my parcel from direct cosmetics i ordered it saturday and it was deivered today wat a brilliant service thanku will definitely be buying again it came well packed great value for money so if your doubting direct cosmetics don't its not a fake app or fake perfume like some people claim if you buy from.direct cosmetics you'll never shop any where else again so give it a go you definitely won't be disappointed
Too tell you the truth I am sceptic…
Too tell you the truth I am sceptic when it comes to online beauty products. But I decided to buy a Sisley cleanser. It was at a reduced price saying few left. To my amazement the product is genuine and I feel blessed to say the least. I have just ordered another product Sisley again. When I looked at Sisley the product cost £90 but online on all beauty it was £56 so watch this space!!’
Useless company.e mailed 5 times about…
Useless company.e mailed 5 times about product .never bother to reply.
Obviously do not want to sell.
BLATANT LIES
I purchased an ‘unopened’ ‘unused’ perfume from this company, on arrival it appeared to have been resealed,I emailed and asked why, they reassured me it was a new product, they didn’t sell seconds, so I kept it and gave it as a gift at a birthday gathering, my friend opened the box to find HALF BOTTLE of fragrance……
To say I am livid is puting this mildly, will be contacting Trading Standards regarding this with the photographs and email trail.
Be very careful what you buy and believe nothing they say
Since returning this item and complaining I have been asked twice to consider removing this post…….
I have considered it. Nope it stays.
Fake perfume
Fake perfume. Ordered 3 bottles of the firetrap eau the toilette, and recived something what smells cheap and completely different.
I was a little dubious after reading…
I was a little dubious after reading the reviews on here, however, I ordered my items on Tuesday and they arrived securely packaged by Friday morning for only £2.50 delivery.. all branded make-up are items I have used before and all are completely genuine. these items combined would have cost me at least £50.00 in the shops yet all cost me only £18.00.. very good service!
Do not use this company
Do not use this company. My parcel never arrived and they refuse to do any investigating. I now need to go through my credit card company to obtain a refund. You get what you pay for.
If you like the feeling of paying n not getting what you ordered or worse not receiving the order this company is for you!!!!
These people Direct Cosmetics do not deserve to be in business. I have a business. My principles are that we deliver an excellent product. We have customer service that cares. We deliver the product and if anyone complained we made it right. You can’t reach anyone here. I explore you to think before buying. Myself and several friends and family members are in the hole bc of my suggestion. Plz research, bc I want no one else to be fooled with these Impostors!!!!
Received counterfeit fake cosmetic
To my big disappointment I have received a fake Dior product!
I know the price was too good to be true, however you are claiming on your website that you only sell 100% genuine products.
1. First of all, the packaging: design looked weird and cheap, not what Dior looks like
2. The product: the smell and residue in skin has no connection to the real product which I know and have used before.
I am contacting the customer service and the email is unreachable…
Order never received.
I never received my order and Directcosmetics were not at all helpful in trying to track it down. Not even an apology. Would not shop with them again.
Excellent experience
Excellent experience. Brilliant prices, quick dispatch and great range of products.
Items came very well packaged and all smell lovely.
Thank you!
Absolutely Legit.
Absolutely Legit.
I was apprehensive to buy from here as the prices were very very good and the reviews on here are quite mixed.
So instead of buying what I actually wanted, I bought a copy of a perfume I already owned, to see if the scent was the same. It was, its the exact scent I expected and the packaging is very good.
For those experiencing issues with their scents being out of date or not smelling right may I just remind you that some of the perfumes sold here aren't actually made anymore (including the one I bought) and perfume does have an expiration date.
I have ordered some items before…
I have ordered some items before Christmas which I didn't received it. They did not refund my money. Be aware don't buy anything. It's Fake !
Purchased item that turned out to be out of stock
Purchased a lipstick from them via eBay. I was really happy that I'd found a bargain - something that I'd been after for ages. The next day I received an email to say they were out of stock. I was left feeling so let down.
Directcosmetics would better keep up wit their actual stock levels and do more inventories to keep on top of things. This would alleviate customer frustration.
Maybe people should email DC first to find out if they still have what you're after. I certainly will think twice before purchasing from them again as I don't want to be let down.
Initially skeptical- but pleasantly suprised
Initially skeptical, however I continued to place an order for L'ocataine body moisturiser for £21 instead of £42. They disclosed the box as being damaged but the product was good as new! It came within 3 days and I am pleasantly surprised. Outer box was damaged slightly, although noting major as I am still able to gift it. The hygiene seal has been ripped but the product is full and all seems legit to me. Great saving as I can't seem to find it anywhere else for as cheap. Highly recommend
