On July 18th I contacted Perfume Warehouse Ltd. through a site called Alibaba which is a Global Trading Site. Perfume Warehouse Ltd. profile on the site claims to be a Buying Office, Agent, Distributor/Wholesaler for the following products: Perfume, Cosmetic, Skincare, Haircare, and Nailcare. The company claims to do US$1 Million - US$2.5 Million in annual sales, however you can obtain the real facts here on webCHeck.
When I contacted Perfume Warehouse Ltd. back in July I sent over a request to purchase 30 pieces of fragrance. At the time the person of contact was Kelvin Moore (Sales Manager) who sent me over a product list with prices. I replied back and thank him for the information and asked couple questions:
Are the products original
Will your company drop ship
What are your shipping time frames
Payment methods
Whats the best communication methods
Can I mix orders and MOQ (Minimum Order Quantity)
I then received a reply back from Jerry Glen who claims to be the companies financial accountant according to his signature, however you can find out the list of there company's manager members here at WebCHeck.
So when Jerry Glen replied back to the above questions I found it quit interesting because you'll see later on in this compliant he goes against everything he states. Here is what he said.

Hello,
The item will be shipped out as soon as your payment is confirmed. (wait a minute I thought payment was already confirmed? liar.....) We can drop ship as the address you gave us. But when we took your package to Fed Ex this morning to book your package, the customs in my country advised that you have to pay 8 dollars each,this will cover both Tax and Customs so that your package will not be disturbed till delivery. (I'm thinking you told me $3 per pieces..now $8 dollars? Nothing changed! so when did FedEx start charging a Tax & Customs to NOT Disturbed a package? lol) Note that when this fees is paid,customers tag and custom documents will be attached to your package,this will enable no customs to chargeany fee till delivery. I await your quick response,so that we can handle this now and when shipment is made,your package will not have any problem.
So I replied back:
Jerry it's a problem for me to pay any addional fees for a couple
reasons. These items are for my wife in Brazil so I will have to pay the
duty taxes when they arrive. The fee to send the money is high via WU
or wire transfer. You quoted me price for items and shipping and appears
that you made a mistake and want me to pay for it now. Your asking me
to pay an addional $240 US dollars? It's not worth it to me! If you
can't resovle then I would ask that you refund my money and I will find
