Duty Free Crystal
Reviews & Experiences

Review content shows a clear pattern: many customers praise fast delivery, secure packaging, friendly phone support and competitive pricing, and several state they repeatedly buy from the shop. At the same time, there are recurring complaints about slow or unnotified backorders, delayed deliveries, ignored messages and a few authenticity concerns on individual items. For prospective buyers, the site appears attractive for price and speed, but it is sensible to check stock and pre‑order policies, ask about verification documentation for limited editions, and save order and communication records. If returns or authenticity are critical, contact the seller by phone before purchasing and allow extra time for any backordered items.

Clark 5/5

This is my first time shopping with Duty Free Crystal Company. I purchased Swarovski Garden Tales Scent Diffuser Container at the best deal. I am happy with my purchase. It has a nice clean design that looks great on my vanity and fills the room with a wonderful scent.

However, I was very disappointed with the shipping time. It took over 1 month to get to the USA. I had to contact the company to ask where my order was. I was told that the products were on backorder, which I should have been notified of, but instead, the company just sat on my money until they got what they want.
