So, it’s fairly common knowledge that through the wonder of exchange rates and going prices, it’s cheaper to order from Lush UK’s website than it is to order from the US website. Since all the holiday items and gift sets I wanted are sold out, I decided to give that theory a whirl.
What I Ordered:
This all came to a total of £51.10, or $78.62 after shipping and handling.
Next I’m going to do a breakdown of the costs.
Hot Toddy:
US: $6.95
UK: $4.54 (£2.51)
Randy Butter Buttercream:
US: $6.35
UK: $7.60 (£4.21)
Tramp Shower Gel (3.5oz / 100g):
US: $9.95
UK: $8.90 (£3.28)
Smitten Hand Cream
US: $17.95
UK: $9.38 (£5.19)
Gold, Frankincense and Beer Shower Jelly:
US: $13.00
UK: $12.23 (£6.77)
Too Drunk Emotibomb:
US: $4.50
UK: $3.46 (£1.91)
Snake Oil Scalp Massage Bar:
US: $7.95
UK: $6.38 (£3.53)
Eau-Roma Water Toner (8.4oz / 240g):
US: $18.95
UK: $9.77 (£5.40)
Grease Lightning:
US: $10.95
UK: $6.67 (£4.34)
Quinquereme of Nineveh:
US: $7.95
UK: $5.30 (£3.45)
Vit C TonerTab:
US: $1.95
UK: $0.98 (£0.64)
So, if I had placed an order for these items on the US site, I would have spent about $114 after shipping. I saved $35 in total, which I think is amazing.
Also:
This little advert was on my screen while I was in my basket on the UK site,And since they didn’t take £10 off my order, I THINK that they are going to send some free little samples or something. Yay!
If not, I will be sad. But only a little bit.
From what I’ve heard, shipping will probably be around ten days, perhaps a bit longer because of New Years. I’ll let you know when it turns up!
P.S. The stock on the US and the UK site varies! So if something is sold out on the US site, definitely check out the UK site.
P.P.S. The UK site is not taking any more orders until early January because they are out of stock. Apparently I cleared them out. Sorry about that
P.P.P.S. I will post pictures and stuff when it comes in the mail!
