    Shipping from Modcloth goes by weight I think. I think they used to have a flat rate of $26, then it went up to something ridiculous like $45, then back down. I'm fairly certain it's done by weight now though.

    I just discovered online shop which sells pyjamas and nighties. www.sarmelle.com .

    Prices are good, not too expensive and shipping is free which is good :)

    Yes, they do.

    Just select 'Visa' as your payment card/payment option.

    It's always worked for me.

    www.directcosmetics.com is a brilliant site. Great reductions on loads of branded products. I bought suncream there on Monday that's usually €27.99 in my local chemist.Got it on this site for £3.99.It arrived today and it's perfect.Delivery for 4 large items cost me £4.

    www.fragrancex.com for perfumes. Bought 100 ml bottle of armani diamonds for about 50 pounds sterling with free delivery. Bargain! Was living up north at the time so not 100% sure if they deliver here but says on site deliver worldwide. Delivery took about 10 working days.

    Do either of these websites charge tax/vat/duty when the items reach Ireland? As all the prices are in USD.

    Are you absolutely sure the stuff from this site is genuine but be careful on ebay etc!
    Are you absolutely 100% sure it is genuine? Everything is so so cheap on the site. Also, is there a charge for import tax/vat/duty/whatever it is called when the products reach Ireland?

    Hey everything Ive bought from allcosmeticswholesale has definately been genuine - havent bought anything in about a year though. A lot of the stuff she has seems to be discontinued or limited edition stuff (mac).

    Thank you.

    As they are a U.S based website, did you have to pay tax when they came into Ireland? If an order was placed with them now, would tax have to be paid when they reach Ireland?

    Thanks.

    When you buy off american websites they post it by Fedex so yes you do pay some sort of invoice tax and if you dont pay it within a certain amount of days then they keep sending you out letters saying they will bring you to court etc.

    Wouldn't trust it. If you have a look at the "About Us" section, it's not of the standard I would expect from a genuine company.

    Then I did a little google and I found this.

    So stay away.

    Here is the website: www.shop2003.com

    Would stay away if I were you. The general rule of thumb is that if it sounds too good to be true, then it is. I personally wouldn't trust anyone selling a "Brand New Tiffany's 18ct Gold Ring" for $8.

    [edit] also their own brand i.e. Herring Shoes - made by Loake

    [edit2] most of the shoes are quality leather sole types; range of sizes good too

    Hi

    can anyone recommend an online site to buy men's jeans.
    I couldn't find anything I liked in any of the bricks and mortar places I went. I also thought they were overpriced for the most part.

    Ideally I would like a nice pair for 50euro or less - is that too much to ask? I have some nice pairs I got for 30euro or so years ago.

    Thanks
