Pay $17 for a MAC Lipstick not $36!

One of the most popular items that Shoppers love to shopandbox from the USA are MAC Lipsticks. The reason is simple. At $17 USD per lipstick, you can buy two MAC lipsticks from the USA for every one lipstick in Australia or Singapore. In this two part series, Part 1 will look at how you can save when you #shopandbox your makeup from the US while next week, Part 2 will look at the most popular MAC Lipstick colours ever sold!

Some maths

One MAC Lipstick = 17 USD

One MAC Lipstick = 24 grams
One 500g Satchel = 500/24 = 20 lipsticks

500g 3 day express shipping from the US to Australia = 16 USD
500G 3 day express shipping from the US to Singapore = 11 USD
500g 3 day express shipping from the US to Malaysia = 13 USD

Scenario 1: An Australian Shopper buys 20 MAC lipsticks through ShopandBox from the US

Invoice 1 (Cost of Items):
$17 x 20 = 340 USD

Invoice 2 (Service Fee + International Shipping):
Service Fee (13% on cost of items*) = 13/100 x 340 = 44.20 USD
International Shipping = 21 USD

*Service fee ranges between 10 -14%. Look at rates page for more details.
** Additional paypal fee charged at payment. Paypal fees go directly to Paypal.

TOTAL: 340 + 44.20 + 21 = 384.20 USD

VS

Scenario 2: An Australian Shopper buys 20 MAC lipsticks directly from MAC in Australia

One MAC Lipstick in Australia = 36 AUD / 26 USD
20 MAC Lipsticks = 36 AUD x 20 = 720 AUD / 508 USD

SAVINGS WHEN YOU SHOPANDBOX!

508- 384 = 124 USD!

    So we can put in a list of all thethings we want from different stores and they’ll just collect them all? Or do we have to do a list for each seperate store and once we’ve made say 3 orders from 3 stores they’ll re pack them into one box?

    Just asking as many questions so I do t right ☺️

      Hi Sam, it always goes through one wishlist/order so you simply submit everything that you want in ONE order and your assigned Boxer will go through that list and confirm availability, etc. You can also talk to her on the message board on your order page once your order has been assigned 🙂
