Responsive company - great customer service

I bought some Medik8 products from Pure Beauty and I received the order confirmation within minutes as expected. However, after two days I still hadn’t received a dispatch confirmation. I was a bit worried as it was the first time I had used this company but I emailed
them and they responded really quickly with a dispatch estimate. My order was shipped the next day and arrived promptly. I placed another order with them recently as they had a competitive offer on and it was dispatched the day after I ordered it - great customer service and great prices!

Terrible international service. Misleading and unprofessional

I paid £11.95 for delivery to Belgium, which is already expensive, but Pure Beauty advertises this as a “premium and reliable international service.” That couldn’t be further from the truth.
My parcel has been stuck in customs, and I was suddenly asked to pay an extra €34.66 to receive it, a charge that was never mentioned anywhere on their website or during checkout. When I reached out, customer service basically said “not our problem” and offered no real solution except to cancel the order and wait weeks for a refund.
For a company that puts so much emphasis on “smooth international delivery,” this is incredibly disappointing.

Their communication is poor, the responsibility is pushed entirely to the customer, and the service does not match what they promise.
If you’re ordering from outside the UK, don’t. You’ll pay a high shipping fee and still be stuck with unexpected customs costs and zero support.

Update: answer to Pure Beauty:
After checking the Bpost customs details and the CN23 declaration attached to my parcel, it’s clear that the issue lies in the shipment process, not with Belgian customs.

The €34.66 charge was applied because the customs declaration didn’t include a proper “statement on origin” or complete electronic data, meaning the parcel could not be cleared under the EU–UK Trade Agreement.

This is a sender-side documentation issue, not an import rule problem.

I paid £11.95 for a so-called premium international delivery, expecting the paperwork to be handled correctly. Instead, I’m being asked to pay extra for a mistake that wasn’t mine. That’s not what I call reliable international service.

Update:
After receiving the owner’s reply, I want to clarify that the issue has nothing to do with Royal Mail’s system.
The CN23 label may be generated automatically, but it does not replace the legally required Statement on Origin or IOSS/VAT declaration that must accompany shipments to the EU under the EU–UK Trade and Cooperation Agreement (TCA).

Because these elements were missing, Belgian customs treated the parcel as a standard import, which led to additional VAT and handling fees that I had to pay upon delivery.
This is not a Royal Mail problem, it’s the seller’s responsibility to provide the full customs and VAT documentation required for EU customers.

I paid for a product that’s now stuck in customs due to something I had absolutely no control over. On top of that, I had to come to Trustpilot just to get a reply from the company.
I took the time to explain the situation clearly and politely, yet the response I received was evasive and defensive instead of solution-oriented.

At this point, I’m frustrated. Not even because of the product anymore, but because of how poorly the whole situation was handled.
Since the owner has stopped replying, I’ll be filing a formal complaint with the ECC and contacting my CC to see if they at least can help set this straight.

I’ve honestly never experienced anything like this in all my years of online shopping.

It seems we are now trading public emails for some reason so here is my response I have just emailed to you following your email which you have added to this review:

"The CN23 is generated automatically by Royal Mail when we send the parcel. This system is used by everyone in the UK that sends parcels outside of the UK and uses Royal Mail. As you will see from the attached CN23 the HS Code, Cost and Country of origin are all visible on the label along with the EORI. This is all of the information we are required to provide under the agreement.

If we did not provide all of the necessary and correct information at the point of despatch we would not be able to generate and print the postage label or the CN23.

If our Statement of Original which I presume is the HS Code plus the Country of Manufacture along with the sender details was incorrect on the CN23 then it would be incorrect for the millions of parcels sent daily from the UK to the rest of the world.

If you think there is a systematic error with the Royal Mail system that does not comply with the Trade Agreement please point it out specifically to me and I will contact Royal Mail direct and see if they are aware."

I have spent a lot of time thinking about how to answer this for you so you don't think simply don't care. I hope the following helps.

We only send a few orders outside of the UK and only to the EU. There are many reasons for this but one of them is we have a trade agreement. This helps everyone. The issue is: it is not applied evenly or consistently.

We sent an order to your country a week before we sent yours. The value of the order was much higher than your order and was sent in the same way. With our box, our label and the CN23 which is the import documents. This allows the Customs officers to process the goods correctly.

The reason I highlight this is because as far as I can make out - and I am not an expert - your parcel should not have been stopped and the other one I am referring to might have been due import duties.

The problem for us is that we can only offer the broadest of advice to our customers from the EU and hope it goes through without any issues but we simply cannot guarantee that.

I am genuinely sorry that you have had such a torrid experience but once the parcel leaves us it really is out of our hands as to what happens and what the customs of the destination country choose to do.

So disappointed with this

So disappointed with this
States that deliver is 48 hours - ordered last Wednesday and still pending
Had zero update - tried calling twice, let a voicemail and have sent 3 emails with nothing back!
Terrible communication and no idea where my order is yet they’ve taken my money!

I am sorry for the delay in sending your order. I am not sure what has happened. I think it is the Olaplex product we are waiting for. I will ensure this is sorted out today, Please accept my sincerest apologies.

Elemis order

I have ordered a few times from this company and will definitely return again. My last order was an Elemis eye cream, which was much more competitively priced with Pure Beauty than with other suppliers. Service is excellent and delivery on time. Would certainly recommend this small business.

Thank you for sending me the correct order number. I can confirm that I have found it.

Whilst I am happy to sort this out via trustpilot it would have been quicker and easier to do it via email. I am afraid that noone is at the Salon today to answer to phone. I am sure they will pickup your message on Monday.

Having looked at your order I can see that there was an error with the Package and it did not include 2 of the 3 products on your order. I have corrected the Package on our site to ensure this does not happen again.

I will now create an order on our system for the two missing products and they will be with you on Wednesday.

I am really very sorry for this error and for not sending you all of your products you ordered from us.

Rebecca I have manually searched our database and I think I have found your account and order but in order for me to proceed I will need your order.

I would also be grateful if you could let me know why you have not emailed us?
