Great products, shipping process could be improved First ever order with Sigma, I ordered the palette vault (4x eyeshadow palettes) which wasnt available at the UK stockists at a really good price over black friday and selected untracked shipping. After reading these reviews I was worried my order wouldnt show up, and it did take a while (to be fair it was over the xmas and NY period) but my order arrived in excellent condition and no extra customs charges were applied (I'm in the UK). The products themselves are stunning, my only constructive criticism would be that I can't understand why such a large successful brand are even still offering untracked shipping in 2021 (and more to the point charging so much for tracked shipping) when other much more affordable stateside companies (like Colourpop) give you tracked shipping as a given? I feel like tracked shipping for all orders would eliminate a lot of customer complaints? Anyway, really happy I grabbed the palette vault but will look to order Sigma products from a UK retailer that stocks them in future to avoid wait times/worry it wont arrive.

Long wait for your order I placed two orders on separate dates and it took two weeks and a few days to get those orders. When I checked the status it kept saying processing. I sent an email but no respond. I finally found the number for customer service. This extensive delay is not stated on the website. I believe it states 5-7 business days. If you need to purchase from Sigma Beauty for someone's birthday, you better order at least three weeks' in advance. Maybe Sigma Beauty should hire more staff since they should be able to do so since their products are not cheap. I cannot complain about their brushes though. Just their customer service.

Insane international shipping Upon purchase you have a choice of 2 shipping companies. One FedEx and a different one. I specifically chose the other as FedEx are crazy expensive. Unfortunately, it still came through FedEx and the delivery person charged us 70 USD extra!! More than 50% the total cost. Sigma's response was that we could have said no and returned it for a refund but that was never mentioned anywhere, why would we know that. Why don't you offer a more cost oriented option for international shipping? This is 2022 there are many options. Don't hide behind your small print. It's a terrible experience and feels like I've been robbed.

SigmaBeauty charges extra, unexplained fees Made an order that was over 150$ so the shipping/handling were free. When I went to pick up the package at the local post office, I had to pay an extra 32$ to receive my package. Sigma is telling me that the fees are duties/taxes and they are not responsible for that. OK, so I checked with the post office and they are saying the fees are NOT duties/taxes and the amount was requested by the sender and the money was transfered to them the next day. So I emailed Sigma again to let them know that they have made a mistake and to give me a refund on some unexplained charges (with an email proof that the fees are not duties/taxes). They keep copying and pasting that "As stated on our website, Sigma is not responsible for any customs fees, taxes, or duties. We apologize for any inconvenience caused. Please let us know if you have any additional questions or concerns.", totally ignoring the fact that the fees are not customs/taxes or duties.

Pleasantly surprised! Put in an order for the Ultimate Blending Brush Set and the F80 brush on February 1 during some absolutely insane sales. Sigma sets usually cost $100+ AUD so this was an absolute steal. Read some awful reviews about their shipping from many websites. From here, Reddit, other review websites etc. Saw some posters have waited up to 3+ months. I wasn't really in a rush so didn't expect much in terms of shipping speed. Thought I could wait until end of March. Imagine my surprise and delight to see it arrived today! A great experience so far. So happy with my purchases
