I live in the UK and think its a real pain that Gap, Nine West, Benefit cosmetics and Macy's (to mention a few) don't ship to the UK. I would pay a decent shipping cost to get the quality and different products that are available in the US (not to mention the price difference!)
I think it would be a good idea if someone would set up a (reputable) company in the US where they would receive your orders for you and then ship them onto people in the UK for a small charge.
Does anyone else know how to get a bargain?!!!
And ebay.co.uk is great if your trying to find clothes and stuff as well as Benefit cosmetics, they are alwasy loads cheeper on ebay too! Hope this helps! Good luck in finding what your after!
