What Are The Best Discount Cologne Sites?

[Hey Man]

I was going to order from Scentiments.com - as that site had been recommended to me based on the really great prices, but I have just learned that they do not ship to Canada. So could someone recommend any other sites that are price comparable to Scentiments and ship everywhere.

Thank you.

Thanks, Joel_Cairo. Great resource. I've had fine results from Imagination Perfumery, Scentiments, Perfume Outlet, and Perfume Bay. Even 1st Perfume.

The problem with ordering cologne from a source outside of Canada is a result of Customs Canada's policy of not allowing perfume/cologne/et al to be shipped into the country. I have read stories of Customs destroying the cologne on site, which creates a loss for both seller and customer. As a result, most sellers have simply stopped shipping to Canada.

It sounds like Canada really hates trade. Do people not complain about all this?

 

[Hey Man]

Water,

I never heard of customs not allowing cologne in Canada. Am I wasting my time ordering - even though I found some sites that do ship to Canada? I have looked for Canadian discount sites and found some - but the prices are hardly discount ala Scentiments. Do you know of any real discount Canadian sites?

Thanks

This is indeed a serious problem. I've shipped cologne to Canada on mnay many occasions, and it's always a little scary. Shipping other places, you can get hit with customs unless you decalre it as a "gift", but the canadian post really does seem to have a raging hard-on for frags. That said, I've never had a shipment confiscated at the border. You just have to lie. I have a friend to whom i often send "childrens toy car sets" or "plastic wristwatches."

the best thing really is to order teh cologne to someone you know in the states and have them forward it to you with a customs declaration label full of boldfaced lies.

Places that do ship to canada will do it UPS, to circumvent the candian govt's anti-fragrance brigade. It'll cost an arm and a leg in brokerage fees, totally washing out the discount and then some, and you'l have to wait at home to sign or they won't deliver.

So in other words - I am fucked and have to spend crazy amounts of money for colognes in Canada, that I have found online for much cheaper.
