When I order Monday, I usually get my package by Thursday or Friday. If I order Thursday or Friday, it usually takes a full week.

So not thrilled about having to take my chances at the store next week. It's bad enough that us Canadians get ripped the hell off on the prices of everything, but we only have MAC On-line, MAC stores, and The Bay counters to get our stuff from, whereas you lucky folks in the U.S. have half a dozen different department stores to try your luck at in addition to MAC stores/on-line.

Nope. Virtually everything (the good stuff, those items in the special packaging) was sold out on the Canadian site a few hours ago. The only items left now are the two Dazzlegalsses, the light silver eye shadow, and the 5 nail colours. That's it.

I'm in Minnesota, but this is usually true for me as well. Sometimes if I'm lucky I can get a Tues package on Thurs.

I know this is way off topic, but I'm interested in the same phone. I just came from Sprint and Verizon inquiring about their prices and plans. I'm with TMobile right now and way overdue for an upgrade. TMobile wants way too much for this phone. How do you like it so far?

Same here. I am not saying I'm going to stalk the Nordies site (even if I was willing to lose sleep over this collection, I have other plans for my weekend), but if I am able to place an order, I'll try to get what I can.

I think chinablaq is specifically referring to placing a phone order with Canadian customer service. Not ordering from the Canadian website. It's my understanding that phone orders have a different inventory than what's available on the website.I didn't think about that! I'm so happy for you chinablaq! Thank you.

No and I still haven't! Guess their systems update before they update online account/send e-mail.

Crazy. I was up at 4-5am PT and I refreshed the page those few times I checked and I didn't see anything. I should have had two browsers open or checked individual categories.
So looks like I am going to have to hit up Pro stores and Macy's in my area to see who has it on the 4th.
Last time I went after a collection (the one with the blushes: love joy, modern manderin), I went to a MAC pro store and the sales rep said everything was sold out on that day. I believe it was the 2nd day it was out. Then all the reps laughed and admitted they kept most of the items for themselves. They were being friendly so I faked a little laugh. Then one told me she'd sell me her blush since it looked like I wanted it more.
Are they really allowed to do this and keep most of the items? Should I had reported it? I'm not stopping at that Pro store if they're going to keep most of the Marilyn items anyway.

I missed out on buying my Love Goddess lipstick.
Hopefully I can snag it when it releases at the counters! *Crossing my fingers*

When I get much stuff shipped to the West coast, it takes much longer. It's annoying!

Wow, the locusts, uh, stalkers, uh, MACaholics, uh, fans of Marilyn sure descended in quite a rush! I'm on the West Coast and by the time i saw the e-mail from MAC saying it was up, nearly everything was already sold out! I can't imagine MAC won't restock everything. All i want is one eye shadow. Pout.

I am on the west coast and just happened to wake up at 5:30 and checked. Love goddess was already gone. I had also checked the site at 3:30 am, and nothing. So it went up around 4-5am west coast.

Wow this thread is crazy long....I woke up at 530am and checked my phone...saw it was online and got my dazzleglass Phiff and beauty powder. I am excited though it will take a week because I didn't order overnight or 2 day. I hope nothing happens to my order

All I want is love godess. I hate going to Mac counters next to me.i tried that a couple of times and always sold out of items I want. My guess Mac will restock but mac did not restock the first time CYY was out maybe because they were going to have it in an upcoming collection. If I get it I get it if I don't I know Mac will come with similar colors or repromote the same. They have been doing a lot of that lately.

*facepalm* Is it really? I like how I called that Pro Store I just mentioned yesterday, and they said absolutely nothing about today.
Thank you for this info! I'm still new at this MAC item hunting. lol
