    @sabundisi Hi there! I’m from Holland and as you know whe also have euro’s. I just placed on order on the UK site. You can pay with your creditcard and the bank will convert it to euro’s.

    @ryababe24 I haven’t ordered from the UK site in a while so maybe they just ship it in the box now. As for getting your later order first that happens sometimes, depending on the mail service and how they handle the packages.

    @Imalittlebigdiva …
    @Imalittlebigdiva yes a pound is way more than a dollar. If you look at my conversions i wrote that the massage bar is 2.98 pounds which AT THE TIME that I purchased these items equaled $4.37 cents US compare to $8.75 if i had bought it on the NA site. Conversion rates change daily, so these were the prices I paid at the time.
    The value of a pound compared to dollars is a lot more, BUT the cost of Lush items from the UK site are cheaper still than here in the US (for certain items)

    Nice video, but did you notice the diffrence between the dollar and the pound?? In your vid you wrote that the after 8.30 massage bar is 8.75 dollar from the US and 4.37 $ from the UK. A pound is like nearly 2 times as much as a dollar… You did save some money, but a pound is WAAAYY more than a dollar…

    @ryababe24 nope, they dont send confirmation emails when the package is shipped. Keep checking ur debit card, when it goes through thats usually the day they ship it!

    @pinkandbeachy123 I make sure to mention in the comments at check out to wrap items, ive heard some people say their stuff is just thrown into the box naked.

  18. Comment by pinkandbeachy123 — June 9, 2010 @ 4:10 am

    When you order …
    When you order online, do they wrap your items in the Lush baggies or do they just throw them all in the box? I would hate for the scents to mix or for them to end up smelling like the cardboard box! Thanks!

    @ayeshayh im not …
    @ayeshayh im not sure what the conversion rate is right now. but if u look at the prices on the UK site (in pounds) and use a currency converter (just google one) and convert the amount in pound to US dollars its cheaper. The credit card company takes the order total in pounds and converts it to the equivalent in dollars

  23. Comment by ayeshayh — June 9, 2010 @ 4:10 am

    I dont understand …
    I dont understand how you saving money. I really want to do this but I dont get it. You said that your credit card company excahged it back to US dollars? From UK? And you had to pay for that.. where is the money saved! LOL. Also, can you buy from the UK using gift cards?
