Gosh, it’s been a long time since we posted any news on here; our feet haven’t touched the floor since the Christmas rush kicked off! The rush is still in full-flow, and if you don’t feel like braving the cold and the hoardes of furious shoppers in the few days that remain to buy Christmas gifts, it’s prudent to bear in mind the last time that you can buy from Fragrance Mad for delivery before Christmas (obviously you’ve no need to buy anything that we don’t sell). For normal Free Delivery, get your orders in before 2pm on Tuesday the 20th of December, and to receive your order the day after purchase (orders made before 2pm), choose Special Delivery (£4.99) and your order will be sent via Royal Mail’s tracked next day service. Special Delivery can be used up to midday on the 23rd of December for delivery on Christmas Eve.

There are plenty of big-name scents, haircare, skincare, and cosmetics, to be had at thoroughly festive prices: Britney Spears Fantasy is always a big favourite at this time of year: pick from a 100ml perfume at £21.99, or the gift set at £24.79; there’s also a whole host of other fragrance gift sets, including ones by YSL, Boss, and Versace; and tons of fabulous fragrances with 50% or more off the RRP. Happy shopping!

Here’s a piece of great news for all our Euro-fans. We’ve now expanded our cheap European delivery (£1.99 on most items) to cover twelve countries, so as well as Ireland, France, and Germany, our delivery costs are now slashed on goods going to Belgium, the Netherlands, Denmark, Sweden, Finland, Greece, Cyprus, Spain, and Portugal. We’re working on bringing even more EU countries under this umbrella, please let us know if you’re trying to buy from elsewhere and we’ll see what we can do!

Whenever you buy something from Fragrance Mad, it will be sent out in a box produced by Remploy Packaging. Remploy was set up in 1944 as an initiative to help wounded soldiers back into work, and continues today to be the leading authority in enabling disabled Brits to fulfil their potential in the workplace. Last year, Remploy found jobs for 6500 people in large companies such as ASDA, BT, and Christian Salvesen, as well as maintaining its status as the leading UK employer of disabled people, employing 3000 across the 54 UK sites of its 10 businesses.

Here at Fragrance Mad, we’re proud to support the phenomenal work being done by Remploy, and that’s why we use their high quality packaging in order to get all our products to you as safely as possible.

To find out more about Remploy, please visit their website.

Keeping your orders safe in their journey from our warehouse to your front door is hugely important, which is why we chose Remploy Packaging to provide sturdy protective boxes to dispatch goods in. We need to make sure that goods arrive not only intact but also in pristine condition, especially as many of our customers buy fragrances as gifts.

Design is also important as our boxes are advertising our service, so if they look good then that reflects well on our brand and gives customers confidence. The boxes are also marked as ‘fragile’, which is useful information if others are handing the goods before they reach the customer.

We’ve been using Remploy for a few years now and we’ve never been disappointed with their service. We hope all our customers are as happy with our packaging as we are. If you have any comments or questions about our packaging, please leave a comment at the bottom of this story or contact us through the website. The full story of our relationship with Remploy, how started using them and what they do for us, is available on the Remploy website.

I’m pleased to say that we now offer shipping to the EU! After several requests from continental shoppers, we are now able to ship to all 27 countries of the EU – with trackable postage from as little as £6.50. 

Many of the fragrances we sell are difficult to find outside of the UK so we look forward to supplying some great bargains to our new European customers!
