I previously reviewed a perfume bought on this site, and I was wrong about it. I ordered the same perfume from the Bay and it was the same perfume, I originally though it was a fake but it is not. Go ahead, very good price, around 30% off

“Waste of time”

Hello everyone, I strongly advise against ordering from this site. I placed an order for over $1000 worth of items, and after processing my payment, they canceled the order. I wasted nearly a week choosing products, and they have been completely unresponsive and haven't even bothered to call me back. As someone whose reviews matters in social media, I know how important honest feedback is. Don't waste your time here.

I placed an online order with Fragrancenet.com on 12/10/2021 for 3 bottles of men's cologne for $137.89. They shipped the items via the US Postal Service and provided me with a tracking number. I'm a steady customer of fragrancenet.com and I'm retired. So I kept an eye out for this package because I wanted to use the products over the holidays. The tracking number said that the US Postal Service had delivered the package to a Postal Locker on 12/17/21. So I went to my mailbox and there was nothing at all. Then I checked in and around my front door. Still nothing. Because of the holidays, I waited a little longer to see if it would show up. Still nothing. So on 12/23/21 I tried calling fragrancenet.com and they were not taking calls. So, I had to email them. To date, I have sent them 4 emails over this matter and have not received a response whatsoever. Today is December 30th and I still have not received this package. So I filed a complaint with the NY Better Business Bureau. In a few shorts hours, a complete and total refund was issued. I'm not sure what's going on with this company. They used to be very good. Unfortunately, I'll be taking my business to perfume.com... which is the number 1 rated online site for perfumes and colognes. So long FragranceNet.com.

Tip for consumers:
Shop elsewhere online.

This site looks very interesting. It has a very well designed layout. They have designer perfumes on discount. It seems like a great deal. Not sure if it is too good to be true.

PROS: It was my first time ordering from them and had a wonderful service! The shipment was to Puerto Rico and arrived SUPER fast.

I bought 2 perfumes on December 5th and it was sent out on December 8th with free USPS Priority shipping since I purchased above $60. I didn't realize the standard free shipping was USPS Priority, but I'm glad.

After that, the package arrived 3 days later. I'm very surprised that the order processed and arrived so quickly during Holiday season.

CONS: The website itself is awful. It's the slowest website I've ever experienced. Even the checkout process was painful. It wouldn't let me input my address!

I was forced to use the PayPal express checkout option so it could fill out the address and payment for me.

I've been purchasing from many online websites and haven't had this issue. This website needs to be updated and fixed badly. The website is very much outdated. I almost gave up on checkout if it wasn't for the PayPal option.

I'm not sure if the traffic and Holiday season has to do with the website getting really slow.

Tip for consumers:
I recommend buying from them when they distribute coupons for items you’ve wanted. My first experience was excellent and fast.

If you can get through the slow website, it’s worth it.

I am weeks in and AMTHISCLOSE to disputing the charge with my CC company. Wish I had read hate reviews prior but I was too lazy to try and find Tom Ford product locally. So yeah, to date I am out close to $500 - tracking updates keep changing (but today is not even available), company never answers the phone. How they have lasted this long has me baffled...

DELIVERY was made same day as review - products opened and tested and are legit (authentic)

I do wish their communications were better and transparent, so I ma upping they review 2 stars

Tip for consumers:
Buy from a local retailer - wishing their comminucations were better and more transparent. the products arrived same day as my review and they are legit / authentic. Up the review a bit

THIS COMPANY SELLS BOGUS PERFUME, AND THEN, PRETENDS THAT THEY HAVE NO RECORD OF THE TRANSACTION. THIS, AFTER AN APOLOGY, AND SENDING ME A RETURN LABEL TO SEND THE 3 BOTTLES OF "WHO KNOWS WHAT" BACK! THANK YOU AMEX! THEY HAD A RECORD OF MY TRANSACTION, MY RETURN, AND ARE TAKING THE $75.00 CHARGE OFF MY ACCOUNT. THESE PEOPLE SHOULD BE FORCED OUT OF BUSINESS.

Never got my order and they lied that there was a signature upon delivery. Carrier advised there was no signature. They are the worst company ever. Buy from a retailer that cares about customers.

I don't get why a lot of people complain about fakes and other stuff on fragrancenet, I've been buying from them for a long time and the merchandise is always good, the colognes last some a few hours some all day but that depends on the cologne. I took a few colognes to the mall and they checked out just fine.
I think people who complain are either those that you don't really want their business to begin with anyways because they're the bitter ones who will complain about the water if it rains or complain about the heat if it's a sunny day, just whiners doing their stupid tantrums or it could be that department stores ask their employees to complain trying to create a bad reputation since they simply just can't compete or simply refuse to compete on the perfume market.
The only real complain if you want to look at it as a bad thing would be the time it takes for you to get your stuff, so to be safe, if you buy from them give it a two week window to receive your colognes, unfortunately, it takes a while to get them that's why I gave them 4 stars only.

FragranceNet stopped using UPS Delivery Service is now using a cheap unreliable delivery carrier called TForce. TForce will not deliver your order. TForce will update its website to notate, "Delayed Delivery" which will go on and on for days

They claim to give u 35% off but their end price is even MORE than retail prices and often their perfume is fake. Avoid this site at all cost!

I ordered perfume from Fragrance.net for years... until recently. They are adding as much as $7 extra shipping to orders. The bubble areas next to the type of shipping you would like are being messed with. After I ordered, when I received my confirmation e-mail, I found that $7 (express shipping) had been added to my shipping cost. I DID NOT BUBBLE THAT TYPE OF SHIPPING IN ERROR! I reported them to the Attorney General for the State of New York. If this has happened to you please report them.

Fragrancenet is a Big scam. I have been charged 108$ and they delivered perfumes to wrong address. I have heard from people that they intentionally do that.

Tip for consumers:
Never use it. I am from Pakistan and I applied online to deliver to my relatives house in the US. They looted me. Somebody in the US please sue them.

I purchased a few weeks ago. I screenshot as I proceeded. After placing my order I noted a billing discrepancy. I contacted the company repeatedly until I reached a manager. I provided the screenshots. I advised not to ship until the billing was corrected. The manager said she'd get back to me but never did. In total the adjusted the invoice twice after I ordered. They originally charged me over 50% more than I agreed to. They shipped it without correcting to the agreed and advertised pricing. They then adjusted the billing at 20% more than I agreed to without my knowledge. The original pricing I agreed to converted to according the their chart at $119 US. They charged me $183 US. The $147 CAD agreed to was factually charged to me at $233 CAD. FragranceNet made zero effort to fix the fraudulent billing to the advertised and agreed price. I reported it to my bank and they are investigating it as fraud! I had to get a new card to avoid further misuse by FragranceNet in future. They are sadly not reputable.

Tip for consumers:
Fraudulent billing. Avoid!!!

Please avoid fragranceNet, buy from authentic online portal. They will say they have shipped it but it won't reach you ever. No refund on orders while you will keep following up.

If you think its too good to be true it usually is and that is the case with fragrancenet.com. I've been wearing Viva La Juicy for years and i know the true product when i see it and what was poorly shipped to me was completely FAKE! I compared it with my old bottle and the emblems did not match (which the fake one actually fell off the bottle the second i opened it), The cap was much lighter and made of plastic not glass like the original. I received the box which was wrapped in plastic just like the department store so i thought it was legit at first but as soon as i carefully slid off the plastic the box reeked of rubbing alcohol and was soaking wet, and the bottle was almost half empty. Every time i moved the bottle it would leak. The smell is very close to original but will not last nearly as long, real Viva La Juicy will last for days on my clothes. Overall this website is a sad excuse for a business and i should of known better, however i am currently in the return process and I expect every penny returned to me or it will not be pretty. BBB has given it an a+ rating which is complete BS and i dont know how that is even possible. Save your money an buy the real thing people its worth it.

I'm not sure the perfume I've ordered here was really original. The thing is they smell a little different than my previous one. I guess I can't make a mistake cause this is my favorite smell ever.
