antonb21 10 Posted October 7, 2014 Can anybody help, please? I'm looking to buy Aqua Velva Ice Blue Aftershave. I have been using it since I started shaving, about 40 years ago. Suddenly its discontinued, and I can't find any stock. Last time I got from Checkers, and also Clicks, but they don't have any left. Surely somewhere somebody is sitting on stock?

wayjen 10 Posted October 7, 2014 Is this the one? Have you tried looking online because maybe online stores are carrying the product? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It has been discontinued in SA - however a lot of pharmacies do have old stock. Best bet is to phone the pharmacies in the suburbs (out of town) & check.

antonb21 10 Posted October 8, 2014 Hi Ruthie, How much does it retail for, please? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Not1CentMore 10 Posted October 8, 2014 (edited) Hi Ruthie, How much does it retail for, please? If I purchase in lot of 12, I can get for $85.00USD... around $7.00USD each (includes our 9.5% sales tax). This is a special order through local drug store. Not in stock, but they will order in and I can pick up and ship to you. If you can find for less your side, that is the way to go, but if not, this may be an option. Ruthie POST NOTE: My apologies. I will not be able to ship. According to USPS website: It's illegal to ship hazmat without a federal permit. Perfume & Aftershave containing alcohol is prohibited on air transportation, and can only be shipped domestically via surface transportation and is prohibited in international shipments. It CAN be shipped FedEx, UPS, DHL but they charge a special handling fee as items containing alcohol are highly combustible and require special packaging and 'securing' when being shipped via air overseas. This fee is in addition to 'normal' courier charges. Edited November 11, 2014 by Not1CentMore Post Note on Shipping Hazardous Materials Overseas Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
antonb21 10 Posted October 21, 2014 Thank you for the responses. I have been in contact with Unilever, Durban, who were the distributors of Aqua Velva. It has been discontinued, however, it is possible that another distributor is going to take up the rights. I'm still not sure that the Aqua Velva that Unilever distributed and the one from J. B Williams, USA, is the same product. Thanks Ruthie, but $85.00 is a bit much for me. Appreciate the help. I was fortunate that Unilever send me their last remain stock, 6 bottles, free of charge. A BIG SHOUT OUT to them, that's is really awesome. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TONS of Aqua Velva Ice Blue after shave on this side of the Atlantic. Here's a website that sells bottles for just over $4/US each. I don't know what shipping would be to SA, but, using UPS, DHL or FedEx wouldn't be prohibitive and would go around SAPO's current problems, I believe. Here is the link (if BOB will let me post that link) Aqua Velva Classic Ice Blue, Cooling After Shave | drugstore.com Ilya2005 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
