Royally Pissed off at Revelations, received my 3121 order today!

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!

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.

SHIPPING RATES FOR AK, HI, PR & CANADA
$17.50 for total value ranging between $0.01 - $35.00
$33.50 for total value ranging between $35.01 - $110.00
$52.00 for total value ranging between $110.01 - $224.99
$65.00 for total value ranging between $225.00 - and up"

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.

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.

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.

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 =)

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!! eek eek 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. lol lol 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. razz

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....,"

Ummm...it was clarified in my earlier post:

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.

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.
