did everyone else get charged for shipping too this time? i called and they told me even if i had a code for free shipping it wouldn't work because there is no free shipping today at all due to the large number of orders. is this true or should i speak with another rep?
I got free shipping... that's weird, that's Mac

I'm guessing they flew through their online inventory since it seems they didn't limit the quantities to 1 per piece per order this collection. I'm guessing all the resellers were there ready to pounce and got the max quantity allowed (4). I think limiting it to 1 in the past helped things last longer. But now everyone and their mother knows how popular these RiRi collections are! Making it nearly impossible for true makeup and MAC lovers to get their stuff.
And I find it really cute that when a few Specktras were able to use a link to access a past RiRi collection early, THAT was a HUGE deal and they cancelled orders and everything! But it's ok for MAC to launch several minutes early... which is all it takes for professional resellers to get the edge.
Just to prove a point, I won't get anything from this collection now. Not in store. And not during any restocks. MAC knows we'll all start scampering for their items, that's how they get away with this! And I can make a prediction already that the in store launches will be low quantity and a hot mess! This is how they are pumping us all up for RiRi's viva glam campaign. I won't let them win this one. I'm not buying from this collection now no matter what.
I'll get the RiRi viva glam lippie if I like it and it's easily accessible since it's for a good cause. The End.

Ugh I wish I could have got you ladies in the waiting room still to come to my computer and order...I feel so bad! I want everyone to get what they wanted!  Both of my Galaxy S3 are still in the waiting room...but my computer went through in minutes twice...
I'm so sad :-( PB and BGRR were in my cart and while I was checking out, they were removed. I got RRW...again

Lol these people are ridic. Times like these I'm grateful that I live in Australia where not many people go coo-coo for MAC. I feel sorry for you ladies and hope you're able to get what you want eventually.

The way that all of the Rihanna collections were launched has been RIHdiculous

They should have done pre-orders to get a better idea of how popular the collections would be. I feel like that would make them better prepared. Even if they did back orders that would help people from being as disappointed.

Ok, final thoughts in regards to the online fiasco... Super uncool to be so inconsistent (some of devices having stock, others not even if using the same geo based ip address) especially after previous feedback, knowledge of eBay mark ups, AND so close to Christmas. Way too many unhappy customers who are now boycotting the collection and or brand all together. It may have even made sense if they charged more but uped the quantities, but no comprise at all. Shameful, but I guess they relish in the mayhem
