Oh I didnt know BPAL orders the oils from the suppliers. I thought they make it themselves. Which explains the price and uniqueness. Wonder who their suppliers are. I found cinnamon to be stronger on me. Throw wise I'm not sure. Sad because I really like foody/sweet scents more. Sweet scents are very light and fade really fast on me. I have skin which doesnt give off any throw from fragrances.

That's not the accurate list Im getting.

yikes. I just bought a bunch of imps. I hope they're from the batch which has good throw. if not it'll be a waste of my money. Why isnt there consistency?

I've narrowed down all the strong throws based on what I read here. What you think? Im thinking of ordering them because no one seems to be selling any. I like sweet and foody scents. But I've realised sweet and foody have the least throw. I've suddenly developed a liking for cinnamon type scents.

When I wear any fragrance, it's almost as though Im not wearing any. People cant even tell Im wearing any fragrance. Could it be the type of scents I wear? Like sweeter ones tend to have a poorer throw?

So Im wondering which notes have very good throw? I've read how some of you get complimented a lot. Wow I've never been complimented in my entire life. Dont oils stick to the skin more?

no offense. I've ordered from other small etailers and they use lotsa bubble wrap and they dont charge a handling fee. Since I paid this much for an order, I shouldnt have to pay an extra handling fee. Besides Im sure bpal is earning enough profit to sustain it's business. Not like they need to charge handling fee to cover their costs. oops. *waits to be attacked*

 

I did post in the wanted section. Since global priority is the only way to go, I guess I'll just try to do a group order. *sigh*

 

I'm not going to attack you about your opinion, although I do not share it (although I agree that it is sad that shipping does cost that much) because ultimately it is your money and I fully believe that you should spend it only when comfortable about doing so. I will however ask why you bothered to say 'no offence'. If you think your post will be offensive and you do not wish to give offence, change it; if you wish to say exactly what you said, stand by it. A disclaimer will not remove offence if you have caused any; it is not a conversational get out of jail free card. (This is, although I am sure you did not realise it, one of my biggest conversational annoyances.)

 

I wish you luck with your group order, and hope it goes smoothly for you.

Thanks. Although I doubt it because Im ordering full sizes only.

Does shipping for TAL cost the same as BPAL? I emailed TAL and I got no reply. Is the $13 shipping global priority mail? If Im not wrong, isnt it $11 and not $13? Also can I have it shipped airmail instead because I wont be ordering so many. It doesnt make sense for me to pay so much shipping for a few items!

 

Hi, I've ordered TAL before from Australia and the shipping rate is also $13 for up to 12 bottles. I think the Lab's $13 shipping rate includes a very reasonable $1 handling fee, as the price of the USPS international priority flat rate envelope is $12.

 

For the four years that I've been a BPAL customer, they have always used global priority mail to ship to Australia. I recall reading somewhere that the Lab prefers this method as too many packages go missing with regular airmail. I don't think you would save much at all with regular airmail versus the flat rate global priority envelope.

The global priority envelope costs $11. I just checked. Besides I've ordered from other etailers and I always pay $11.

Honestly, I think regular airmail will be cheaper if Im ordering 2 or 3 bottles. It's ridiculous to send so few bottles in a huge envelope. I've had airmail and global priority mail sent to me and I've not noticed any difference. No faster delivery time or lost mail. I think global priority can get lost too.

Anyway I'm still waiting for a reply from TAL.

Is there anything which smells like dragon's milk?
