Bela's Boutique My Ebay Store

How can we bring you such great prices????

It is all in the products!! I have been buying for the same suppliers for over two years so that I know that my products are new, authentic and a quality product. It is very hard to find a good cosmetic's wholesaler so when I find a good one I keep them!!

What happens with cosmetics is that they hit the secondary market and the selling begins! The people that have the money to spend tens of thousands of dollars in HUGE loads and then they trickle down thru the smaller wholesalers so that many times by the time they are actually getting to the seller (like ME!) many times the prices have been added onto so many times that the seller has no choice but to sell them at a higher price. My store on the other hand doesn't work that way!!! My supplier is someone that actually buys in those HUGE loads and is able to offer these items to me at a super price, with low shipping costs so that I can offer them for a much cheaper price than my competitors, especially in my wholesale lots.

So what are our products like?

The majority of the products we carry are exactly what you would buy in the department store. Many times they are unboxed. This is because many of the companies take them out of the boxes before they hit the secondary market so that they can not be returned to the department stores. It doesn't make them any less new!!

We carry a variety of brands such as Bobbi Brown, Clarins,

, MAC, and so many MORE!! Check out ALL our products!

Sometimes I get FAB deals on items that may be marked TESTER, DEMONSTRATION & NOT FOR RETAIL SALE. Does this mean that I can't sell it? Absolutely not! These products are still brand new, full size and the same exact product that you would buy in the store. The only difference is either a little sticker that might say "Tester" or "Demonstration" or it could be stamped with "Not for retail sale" or it could be in different packaging. Doesn't mean it isn't authentic, it just means that you could possibly get a skincare product that sells for $125.00 for $40 or $50!

WHOLESALE LOTS

I know that personally I can't afford yet to be one of those big huge suppliers that can buy by the truck load, or even a medium sized wholesaler but I can buy in larger bulks. I used to be a seller that couldn't afford to buy larger lots so I really was always looking for a wholesaler that would sell in lots of 5 or 10 pieces at a time. Not many do! So now when I get in big lots of items, I might sell some of them singularly but I like to break them down in smaller lots for those who either can't afford the huge lots yet or that just might like having a little bit of everything in their store!!

It is funny. When people ask me what I do, I sometimes feel a bit embarrassed. I shouldn't, there isn't anything wrong with what I do for a living but I guess people don't think of EBay as a JOB or as owning your OWN business. But they couldn't be more wrong!!!

It is crazy! I meet people from all over the world that come in to my store any time of the day to shop!! I love waking up in the morning and checking the computer to see how many people have been shopping and what part of the world they are from. I have even had people buy things from countries that I had never even heard of before!!!

It is because I am selling to the world that I have really worked hard to come up with a plan to bring people from all over the world into my store. I do this by keeping my shipping rates as low as I possibly can. I have recently made a huge overhaul to my shipping policies in order to save my customers even MORE money!!!

The new policies are:

US DOMESTIC MAIL & CANADA

Combined shipping is as follows: Full price for heaviest item. Each additional item will now be ONLY $.75 each (Old price was $1.00 per additional item!) This price includes all items except for Erno Laszlo Pro Size products and Wholesale lots. Neither of these can be combined for shipping discounts.

INTERNATIONAL

Combined shipping for international packages is as follows: Full price for the heaviest item. Each additional item will now are ONLY $1.75 each (Old price was $2.50 each)! This price includes all items except for Erno Laszlo Pro Size products and Wholesale Lots. Neither of these can be combined for shipping discounts.

OTHER INTERNATIONAL POLICIES

We ship world wide with the exception of Germany. Due to German laws we can no longer ship to that country. All items are shipped within 5 days of payment.

We use the shipping calculator to insure the best shipping prices to your zip code or country.

Please wait for an invoice to ensure the proper shipping and insurance totals.

All international packages are required to be insured.

CANADA: Canada is kind of domestic and international. We have changed our policy to include the lower per additional items that are shipped to Canada because it is much cheaper to ship to Canada than it is Europe. However, on the international end, packages shipped to Canada will be required to be insured.

International packages that amount to over $150.00 will be required to be shipped registered mail along with being insured. (Registered mail $10.15 plus insurance)

SHIPPING INSURANCE

US Domestic Mail: Shipping insurance is NOT required but it is HIGHLY recommended that you add it to your purchase. We ship our items packed securely both 1st class, Parcel Post & Priority mail. Shipping Confirmation is included FREE with all purchases.

International Mail: We have recently started using a 3rd party shipping insurance company that gives us great rates on international shipping insurance. This insurance can be purchased even for 1st Class International which is not offered thru the US Postal Service.
