I got my 3121 order today. I distinctly recall that I paid $8.95 for shipping and handling charges to Revelations. When UPS came to my door, they charged me $22.68 C.O.D., that is not fair. UPS didn't care, they said we'll come back if you do not have the money. I fired off an email to customer service at Revelations. That is ridiculous!!!! Also when you open up 3121 (this is a gift for my wife), they have a hard to peel off sticker that says $100.00 value for $77.00, that just sucks!

$30 plus dollars shipping for a bottle of perfume? Damn...

I didn't try and peel off the sticker, but I guess that does suck when it's a gift item. You might mention that to them also so they're aware of it.

This is on the website regarding shipping outside the U.S., but maybe it wasn't there yet when you ordered? Since you didn't mention receiving the email about the additional shipping, I'm guessing you didn't get one.

"For all purchases on this website that involve a shipping address outside of the Continental United States, there will be an additional charge for international shipping.

After you have completed a purchase of any of the above products, if you are based outside the continental US, you will receive an email from Revelations Perfume directing you to a page with a Shipping button for the additional shipping fee based on your location.

After you click on that button and complete the transaction, your order will be processed and shipped to you.

It's not a bottle, he ordered the boxed gift set.

Serena said:

Serena, thanks for the help. That info was not posted when I initially placed the order for 3121.

I respect Prince and he has nothing to do with the shipping and handling charges, but for what I paid, I could have gotten a better perfume or cologne by a real designer.

I love Prince, but I am not going to support his 3121 perfume anymore until he gets smart and starts stocking it in every major department store all over the world.

gr79 said:

You're welcome and I understand your frustration. Maybe they'll compensate you somehow since the info wasn't on the site the first day when you ordered. Since this is such a small company, I'm not sure how wide a distribution it will get. When I spoke with the owner and mentioned that it wasn't in our Macy's yet, he said it would be a few weeks for it to even come out West. Plus, I think it will probably be limited to the bigger stores.

You are soooo sweet, if I wasn't married, I would take you out on a date and offer you wine and moet

gr79 said:

Good one and thanks!

gr79 said:

Honey, I'm so sorry for you. I got mines last night for my birthday via Macy's. Don't worry, your wife will love the fragrance.....

Jamzone333 said:

Thanks!

i figure i could just buy it online... unless i win the "Free Bottle of 3121 Contest"!

gr79 said:

lmao

Jamzone333 said:

She sure will. Glad u got it before her birthday Dampen the sticker price and take it off gently

Happy birthday 2u Jamzone333, my son brought me the gift set 4 my birthday which is the last day of this month, July 31

does Macy's have the same prices as 3121perfume.com for stuff?

tznekbsbfrvr said:

I'm sure they do... I can't see them changing the price

tznekbsbfrvr said:

Yes, I believe they are the same prices. But, Revelations is still doing the charitable contribution for orders placed through their site.

I just checked at Macys online and right now they don't have the box set listed, but I did order one from them before. They also don't have the small limited edition size, the Xquisite perfume spray with the purple pouch and a couple other sizes. Macys shipping is only $5 on their beauty items though.

Here's links to the two pages to compare:

Ya I was annoyed by that as well, got mine today and also had to pay COD $22.68 to UPS. I called then amd they said it was taxes and duty to bring it into Canada. Crappy.

gr79 said:

Are you a little Spanish man?

That's what you get for buying that shit..haha

gr79 said:

anytime there is a difficult sticker to remove.... i just put a cute sticker on top of it. Get some hearts or a lil unicorn maybe some purple stars and put it over the price =)

OceanOfViolets said:

Thanks for the advice. Maybe I'll put some Winnie the Pooh stickers on it!

OceanOfViolets said:

lol- that's wat I do to. thank god i'm not the only one- thought i was being cheap.

oh, funny story: In 10th grade, I gave one of my teachers a present. When he put it down on his desk, I realized that the price tag was visible!! so I'm there saying "Oh sh*t the tag!" One of my classmates distracts the teacher (who's at the doorway 3 ft away) by jumping up and down and talking loudly, while I ran, grabbed a dry erase marker, and colored over the tag. I ran pack after putting the present back in the bag. The girl distracting teacher had finished, so he saw me running back and was like wondering wat happened the whole time. Thankfully, no one in the class had ever told him what really happened. Never remembered that girl's name, but she totally saved my ass that day.

I recently got hired at UPS and was in a training class. We were talking about how customers can get refunds if the day limits aren't met....1-day, 2-day etc...and I mentioned that I had gotten several late deliveries. The TRAINER replied with, "...don't say I said this...but I use FedEx....,"

you just got your 3121 CD now? and you had to pay more shipping when it got there?



wow, Revelations = 1-800-NEW-FUNK?





j/k, i read the rest of it

I hate shipping this internationally. That is where customs makes money.

Hopefully revelations can reduce the price of 3121 if this problem exists in other countries with C.O.D.

can someone please clarify... does this extra ups fee appluy within the US as well???

Today is my wife's birthday. She loved 3121. We got it in time. It smells a lot like L'Interdit by Givenchy, a perfume inspired by his friend Audrey Hepburn. True, the big bottle of 3121 does not overpower, but the small tester size bottle which is the concentrated stuff is powerful. That will give you a headache if you spray too much, you may want to dilute it with some water. The body lotion has a light scent. Like I said, it smells like L'Interdit by Givenchy. http://boisdejasmin.typep...by_gi.html
To me, it definitely smells feminine. It smells like a perfume for mature women.
