How to check who sells Initio Parfums Privés on Amazon
- Browsing from outside the US, set a US delivery address first; any ZIP will do, 10001 works. Without one Amazon fills the buy box with import and reseller offers. That is how Charlotte Tilbury, Dyson and Clinique once looked unstocked to us, when Amazon.com sold all three.
- Read the two lines beside Add to Cart, “Ships from” and “Sold by”. For Initio Parfums Privés you want Amazon.com.
- If another name is there, open “Other sellers on Amazon”. Amazon.com or the brand sometimes sells the same listing one row down, at the same price or close to it.
