Hmmm interesting. Wonder what's gone on there then
As far as I can gather Peter isn't best pleased about the sale, effectively offering his products at trade price. Maybe he decided to find another, more professional distributor which angered the UK guy? Maybe A&E UK are simply throwing in the towel and want rid of it all ASAP? Goodness knows.

May well have been stitched-up by a 'public spirited' individual for selling products without the relevant cosmetic certification

True! Hadn't thought of that... How about this then - Reported by another seller wishing to get rid of competition? I'm sure they'd never sink to it :unsure:

Though if either of those were the case I don't think he'd be able to sell it at all, not through the store anyway.

Wouldn’t be the first time ! Rumours a few years ago about a similar thing happening. It’s a shame you have to order from USA to get some products. All to do with EU cosmetic certificate, you can import personally but not buy from a U.K. based vendor.

Anybody else had an email to say what they ordered is now out of stock? Ordered a st barts soap and splash at 11:35 am. Just had an email to say the soap is out of stock and would I like a full refund or partial and still get the splash.

A couple of those folding travel razors @sɐǝɹpu∀ is fond of, quite rare these... You'll have to ask the seller to post but it's usually not an issue.

I have been looking for one of those.....a pity delivery may not be available to the UK. Looks as if Brexit is kicking in.

Don't worry Brian, I've been buying off French eBay for 24+ months and they don't usually offer international postage as standard but a polite message in their Mother tongue is all it takes - I just send the following:

"Bonjour, Expédition en Angleterre?

Cordialement."

I reckon 8/10 times they say yes and I've never had a bad seller or anything go missing from France (Yet! Touch wood!) In fact one lady would only accept payment as Paypal F&F (rules are different over there, it's allowed.) I was dubious but eventually did so as it wasn't a particularly valuable item. Turned out she'd sent it the same day I won it, days before I sent payment! Just goes to show, sometimes when you think you're taking a risk, the other person might also be taking a risk on you lol.

For those of us in the US (I don't know if they ship internationally) Groomatorium.com still has many many razors and brushes at 40% off due to an "aftershave spill" that destroyed or disfigured the packaging. I bought my Parker shavette and when I got it, there was literally zero damage to the package that I could notice, just a smell.
