Customer service - FAQs

Definitely, 100%. We never sell anything other than genuine brand items on our website.

Our products are sourced from around the world, so a small number of the products sold on our website may look slightly different from what you have at home, but the products are still 100% genuine and produced by the original manufacturer for that particular brand. For example, a product sold in the US may differ in appearance from the same product sold in France or Japan, but the product is still genuine.

Freshness is also 100% guaranteed as we keep all our stock in a temperature controlled environment prior to shipping and subject to regular quality control checks.

We are highly rated by the following popular websites:

All of which can testify to the quality of the products received by our customers.

Sometimes. Please note we have some of the lowest prices on the internet together with free shipping. As we purchase from our suppliers at only the best prices, additional samples are not always supplied. However, we do include free samples in orders if they are available. Please note free samples can only be sent with an order.

Quite possibly. We have an extensive global supplier network which ensures our product range is the largest anywhere on the internet so we just might be able to find what you're looking for, even if it's been discontinued in your country. If you have ordered an item before but don't see it listed anymore, it is most likely just sold out. We are normally able to replenish stock within a week so keep checking regularly. If the item you're looking for has not been re-listed after a week, please contact us and we can advise when new stock is likely to arrive.

Our speciality is sourcing all major brands, from all around the world and selling at the lowest prices on the net, with free shipping and a loyalty programme offering significant discounts on top of the best prices. To be able to do this we operate on a very tight cost budget and do not employ the skin or color specialists, nor the technology to answer this type of question comprehensively. Rather than try and just give you an answer, we would rather be honest and suggest you obtain these answers elsewhere, from the brands or specialist sites, and then use us to repeat purchase at the best price.

Yes! All the information we ask for when you place your order is essential for us to process your order and keep you up to date on the latest offers available from StrawberryNET.Com. We use the latest SSL encryption (128 bit) technology to ensure all your details are kept secure. We do not sell, rent or otherwise pass on any of your details to other parties. Ever.

We offer FREE shipping anywhere in the world (Except on fragrance-only orders).Remember to add a skincare or makeup product to your fragrance-only order to qualify for free shipping.

Once we have received your payment, your order will usually be dispatched within 24 hours and you will receive an email confirmation once it ships. You can also check your order status through our website at any time.

Registered post

You can expect to receive your order shipped via registered post within 4-6 days to major cities, 7-10 days for other destinations and 10-14 days for more remote areas. If you have not received your order after 14 business days please contact us.

All orders shipped via registered post are insured for loss or damage. Please note that a signature is required for delivery. We suggest having your parcel shipped to your workplace if no one is home during the day to sign for your delivery.

If you leave special delivery instructions you are authorizing the couriers to leave a parcel without a signature. We cannot accept claims for loss or damage in these cases.

If no one is home to sign for your parcel it will be delivered to the nearest post office.

Non-registered post

Most customers will receive their order in 10-14 days, however it may take 14-21 days for more remote destinations.

Orders to military addresses or PO boxes must be sent via non-registered post.

A signature is not required for delivery and tracking is not available. We cannot accept claims for loss or damage. We generally recommend you send your order via registered post.

Fragrances

Fragrances are considered to be "dangerous goods" so we are required to comply with international airfreight guidelines for shipping. This greatly increases our shipping costs so we must charge a small fee for fragrance-only orders.

We charge 10% of the total amount of your fragrance-only order, up to US$15.00. To qualify for free shipping simply add a skincare or makeup product to your order.

Express shipping is not available for fragrance orders.

Express post

Orders will be delivered anywhere in the world within 2-3 days. Fragrance orders cannot be sent via express post.

The shipping rate varies by destination:

• US$10 for orders shipped to the USA (including Alaska and Hawaii), Canada, Oceania (excluding Australia), New Zealand and China.
• US$15 for orders shipped to Europe, the Middle East, Asia (excluding China), Australia and the rest of the world.

Most delivery delays are due to unavoidable customs checks or because no one is home to sign for the delivery. We will refund the extra charge for orders held in customs, but not for delays due to lack of a signature.

Courier service

Orders shipped to Bulgaria, Czech Republic, Ireland, Latvia, the Netherlands, Poland, Slovakia, Slovenia, and the UK can be shipped using a special courier service.

All VAT and taxes are prepaid using this service so you do not need to pay any more once the order is received. This means that there will be fewer customs delays so you'll receive your order faster.

We highly recommend you use this option to send gifts since the recipient will not be burdened with VAT charges and you can confirm delivery through our order tracking page.

You'll also have access to enhanced order tracking, allowing you to see confirmation of your parcel's delivery.

To be reimbursed for your expense, please collect your package and pay any taxes and keep the receipt. You can then submit a VAT claim through our website and we will refund the amount of the charge. All refund claims must be made within 6 months from your order date.

At the moment, fragrance must be shipped using special procedures to comply with international postal regulations. Unfortunately this dramatically increases our transport costs so we regret that we have been forced to now charge a small fee to cover these costs. Please note that the charge is 10% of the value of the fragrances in your order, and the maximum shipping cost for any fragrance order is AUD10.00, which still reflects excellent value.

Please also note that all discounts are still applicable to fragrance shipments (1-5% Buy More Save More discount, plus up to a 10% loyalty discount), and shipping for skincare and makeup is still free worldwide. If your order is a combination of skincare/makeup and fragrance, then shipping is still FREE.

We accept all major international credit cards, including virtual cards:

Visa
MasterCard
American Express

Any problems with items you receive must be reported to us within 30 days of receipt. We guarantee money back refund without question if you are dissatisfied in any way. Items must be returned in the original condition in which they were received.

Our site is aimed at customers who have already purchased and experienced the product, either its use in the case of skincare, or smell in terms of perfume, or color in terms of make up. If you have ordered the wrong product, then you can still return for a full refund but please note that the items must be unopened and unused.

If there is any defect in the product on receipt then it may be returned to us for a refund at that time.

Please contact our orders department at orders@StrawberryNET.com before returning anything so we can inform you where to send and how to arrange the refund.

Returned items will be refunded using the same method used to make payment for the order. Return postage will be reimbursed in case of damaged, defective or incorrectly sent items and will be credited using the same method used to pay for the order, or through store credit in special circumstances.

Important note on returning fragrances:

Please check your fragrance orders carefully, as fragrances can NOT be returned under any circumstances due to international aviation restrictions.

Orders are added to your loyalty record only once they are shipped.

If you place an order before your previous order has been shipped then they will reflect the same discount, but your cumulative total will still be increased once the order is shipped.
