CP=Custom Purchase, where someone purchases something for you, that you cannot obtain for whatever reason for the retail price, shipping
I will add that some people charge a little bit for their gas/time/paypal fees etc and if they do no one should be accusing them of gouging IMHO. I mean throw in enough extra for the person to get a cup of coffee or something. Not saying I've always done that, but it's something to think about.

Virtual waiting rooms are not my friend! I tried on safari on my mac and it never loaded! Good thing I had Firefox open at the same time! I tried on my iPhone too and I never made it past the checkout screen! All I saw was a spinning wheel. Now I know, won't be using safari!

Since you got one for her, then I'll keep that one that was going to be for her, for myself since I couldn't get mine before it sold out.

You know, even though the virtual waiting room said to wait in line I didn't. If after 10 minutes I didn't have one in my cart I started all over. People who waited over an hour shouldn't have IMO.

Oh you are right! I should of thrown an "etc" behind that :) but I agree those charges are not bad extras

This might be a stupid question but what is CPS?
wondering.gif
A CP is a Custom Purchase. In my mind, and most peeps minds {I hope}, it is like you ask a friend who is going to the store to pick up a little something something for you. They should not, in my mind, charge you more than you would have paid if you made the trip yourself although it is perfectly fine to throw in a few extra to thank them for the favor. Some people charge for the shipping to them plus shipping to you so it might not be flat retail price requested. Asking $50 for a $15 lipstick is NOT a CP by any stretch of the imagination.

I have CPed for gals overseas who could not get something because it was unavailable in their area {lip tar from Sephora for example} and had stuff CPed to me from overseas for stuff that I missed out on the launch here

ALSO to be knitpicky a CP is when you ask somebody to pick something up before they go shopping not a they got an extra to unload. But that is just me.
 
I missed out b/c of work.

I will have to wait until the next launch in June. I just checked evilbay, and this ls is being sold for up to $120.00. Who would pay that?

$120.00 OGM. I had to go and get my glasses to make sure I read that right. I am sorry but if that lipsticks sales for 120.00 I might just have to put mine on there. I will be a evilbayer for a day.

Unfortunately most people wouldn't think to do exactly opposite of what the website said to do. I figured if I started all over, I would be even further back than what I was. The virtual waiting room was a fail in my opinion because there didn't seem to be any rhyme or reason why some people only took 10-15 minutes to check out and some well over an hour. I went on at the exact same time as another member here and she was able to complete her order in 8 minutes where as it took me over an hour.

I just didn't want someone snapping b/c I charged them for the padded envelope I had to buy to ship their item. Some people are very literal.

It shouldn't cost me to do a CP for someone. Everyone so far has been very nice though. The last person was sweet and threw extra for my time and i did not ask nor expect her to. In the spirit of the forum I'm putting it toward more makeup.

I'd be embarrassed to charge someone $50 and call it a CP. That said the buyer could have easily turned it down. She felt $50 was worth her time and stress for an item she wanted. We can't judge what she chooses to do with her own money.
