That meeting probably looked something like this...
But still, I don't think ordering early is cheating. Orders shouldn't have been accepted if they didn't want people ordering before noon. This is not a surprise situation to them. This happens every month when they release a collection.
That really frosts me too. I just happened to be online when the link was posted. I didn't have any sort of nefarious plot in mind. Also, were I clever/shady enough to hack into something, MAC wouldn't be my first choice!
LMBO jennifae! I love Lafayette!I debated on getting a BU of Heaux and RRB, but I'm still kinda pissed that my lippies are on backorder and won't be available for shipment until mid-July. That's a month from now! That is... if they don't cancel it! I guess no blog swatches for me.
Is it really "fair" to cancel orders placed before noon when all we did was stalk the website to make sure we don't miss out in case they release the collection early (because come on, MAC... you've done it before)! Why are we being treated like...
Right again.I'm so over this collection I'm not ordering in the fall nothing this was crazy as hell
this picture...I can't...lolThat meeting probably looked something like this...

I have to agree with you that I would've been too scared order early. Only to deal with the aftermath of the proverbial crap hitting the fan when MAC decided to do damage control? Oh no hunny lol. While I agree that no one wants to or should have to deal with this waiting room madness, you do have to admit it was a risk submitting your order ahead of time even if it allowed it. I'm about my money so I say if they hit your account honor the order, if you weren't charged I guess you can say it didn't officially go through and it saved you the drama of tying up your funds for the official release. I say kudos to those who got theirs before or after 12 and hopefully MAC can come up with a better solution next time. Because in the long run, it is makeup that these "heauxs" can definitely make more of so us loyals can keep our sanity smh lolI have to say that I was one of those who saw the link and waited. I just KNEW there was no way MAC was going to allow only the lipsticks on early and nothing else legitimately. Especially after they were cancelling some peoples riri woo orders because of them ordering over and over. I think people who are saying how much money MAC lost in this aren't considering the big picture. I'm sure this mornings MAC meeting went something like this: "Tech guy who accidentally put the lipsticks up early, youre fired. Online sales team, lets inconvenience those few 3 lipstick buyers who thought they were cheating and make them start over. Lets make room for people who will buy it all so we can sell EVERYTHING out today, not just the lipsticks.Our plan is to make the cheats wait to see if their orders have gone through, the real buyers will get everything else 5 at a time. That equals more sales for us.They'll still get a few lipsticks if they're lucky after we cancel their orders. People will stay loyal to us no matter how stupid the waiting room idea is because we're MAC! Can't wait for fall!
I agree. I honestly didn't realise it was a glitch! It was up, I ordered!
I hope that don't as well.
It would be hilarious if this picture could be posted on MAC FB & ask them if this was what their launch strategy meeting looked likeThat meeting probably looked something like this...

Thank you for answering, I asked because I was curious not because I want to be one
