Disadvantages: see below
There is a shop near me called TG Discount, it sells bog standard discounted beauty goods, toiletries, basic health products and the All Beauty Product site reminds me very much of TG with it's simple products and marginally discounted prices. Not the easiest of sites to navigate, you find yourself using the back button constantly but a huge range of products are available including Loreal, VO5, Neutrogena, Garnier etc and some more unusual features for a UK drug store including the alternative section and health advice. The discounts don't strike me as that reasonable, 25p off here occasionally a pound off there. Much like Boots items that go up and down in price like a yo yo, hair dye for example, are quoted at their highest price so you believe you are getting a real bargain when in reality it is actually this price every couple of weeks in every other shop. Delivery is a rather expensive £3.49 for a standard 4-day service and an earth shattering £5.99 for one working day. There are very few of us that live that far from the shops that a taxi there and back would not be both cheaper and quicker. This is actually one of a linked group of sites all beauty, all toiletries, all alternative and all photoshop (as for some odd reason all pharmacies now develop photo's ' I'll have a bar of soap, a tooth brush and oh look a kodak gift box(?) A search engine can make things slightly easier but like the rest of the site it can be slow. So don’t expect flash brands, fast navigation or a huge reduction in prices from this site. Since Superdrugs site has shut down I’ve been looking for an alternative (any suggestions?) I’m afraid it will certainly not be this one.
