All of this backorder talk is making me very happy that I didn't order one. 1) I would be heartbroken. 2) The one I didn't buy will hopefully end up with one of you.

Re: MAC - In the Groove Discussion

I think that they will fill some people backorders but not all of them. I ordered mine at 9 am est and this is after hearing people who ordered 40 minutes before me got their backordered so I dont think I will get mine. Luckily I got one through nordstroms website.


FYI. Jazzed lipstick is sold out.

Re: MAC - In the Groove Discussion

Christine (temptalia) tweeted that she ordered in at 5:49am on mac site and she got a backorder notice. she tried Nordies and waiting to see what is going to happen. I hope they don't release early in the store like they did Marine Life...I almost missed out on that one. MAC has been really annoying me lately. Grrrrr. All of my other order is shipping of course. Bleh!

Re: MAC - In the Groove Discussion

I didn't want to deal with nordstroms. they've cancelled on me twice in the past. (HK and Marine life) I'm just going to try my luck in the stores.

Re: MAC - In the Groove Discussion

Nordstrom canceled my order before (Stark Naked?), but it was OK today. I had to wait for the confirmation for four hours though (emotional roller coaster!

). All the backorder talk makes my heart ache. Hope whoever wants Stereo Rose will get it eventually.

Re: MAC - In the Groove Discussion

My Stereo Rose shipped. I have a tracking number. I am relieved. What a mess! I really hope MAC stops this super limited nonsense. I haven't felt this jittery since the Barbie doll launch.

That's weird, but Barbie Collection was right when I got into MAC... I was able to get everything I wanted and didn't even care at that point! I can't believe it now- looking back LOL.

I am so glad you got your Stereo Rose. I won't be happy til I pick mine up and they are in my hands

Sweet Lord, was the MAC hype still that big back then?!? I ended up with two dolls (one for my sis and one for I- there is an inside joke that we look kinda like "barbie" twins even though we are almost 2 years apart LOL) months after the release date. I didn't even know, or care about the hype then LOL... But after missing out on Stereo Rose online after staying up til 3:30am and then almost missing out completely- I almost feel bad that I gave away that Barbie to my sis LOL.

Re: MAC - In the Groove Discussion

Wow, this is just INSANE!

It's worse than the Marine Life drama! I've never ordered from the MAC site before, and I have to say, I may never do so after these fiascoes! How awful that people are getting back-order notices when they ordered right when it went up on the site.

Note to MAC: Get your inventory issues sorted out. I really hope there's enough time to get things back up to speed before the Disney villains collection. Sheesh!

I'm still figuring out my wish list. I've never tried cremesheen glasses or mineralize blushes and eyeshadows before, so really, all I had on my tentative list was Stereo Rose.

But I already have Marine Life and the Bobbi Brown Nectar shimmerbrick, so do I even need it?

Decisions, decisions....

I have heard from a very reliable source that BB Nectar Shimmerbrick is MUCH better than Stereo Rose

Still, I fell victim to the Stereo Rose hype and ended up calling all around to try and pre-order! Luckily I landed a Nordies' order... but it's not been confirmed! I am so fed up with MAC's ways, I agree with you! The beauty (who I match skin tones with is out of the U.S. NW30)

I did get Marine Life... I don't think we should freak out if we don't get Stero Rose. I was hanging out with my 96 year old grandma all day and that mad the whole Stereo Rose thing seem non-exisisent.

Re: MAC - In the Groove Discussion

Wow, this whole SR thing is making me sad. I might go to a few MAC counters this weekend, i will check if there are any stereo rose msf's available. If there are i will get as many as i can and ship them out. However, bear in mind that we did get this collection before the US and it did already sell out from the website 2 days later, so i'm keeping my fingers crossed SR will be available at these counters.

Re: MAC - In the Groove Discussion

^^ i've done the same thing, but i could only afford to get one extra.

so if anyone can't get one in store/online, PM me and we can sort something out - £19.50 plus P&P

Translated: You won't be getting a STEREO ROSE!

I guess I'll stake out Dillards when they open tomorrow morning. That was the only way I got Marine Life. They said they had only gotten 6 ML in and wouldn't be getting any more. I hope I'm just as lucky tomorrow.

Re: MAC - In the Groove Discussion

If people are getting backorder notices that placed their orders on the regular US MAC site at 8:49 am EST that means it sold out in 1/2 hour!

I placed mine at 8:14 the minute it showed up on the site. A CSR told me mine was the very first order. I don't have a ship notice yet but was told twice yesterday it wasn't backordered.

Sold out in 1/2 hour??? That's crazy - what did they have like 20? Ridiculous.

Re: MAC - In the Groove Discussion

I ordered at 8:17 and I haven't heard anything either. When I check the order status, it says "Pending." Is that what yours says?

Re: MAC - In the Groove Discussion

I ordered 3 Stereo Roses yesterday was told by yesterday evening my order was in warehouse getting ready to be filled and nothing was on hold.

I had 3 Stereo Roses on hold at my free standing store but clearly I don't need 6 it was my back up plan in case I wasn't able to order online.

I have to pay retail for these plus 7.00 to have the 3 shipped to me one of my friends already claimed one but if anyone else is looking for a Stereo Rose I will keep my 3 on hold to sell to you guys who lost out

MAC really screwed up. My mom placed her order at 8:59AM EST and got the confirmation at 9:00AM EST and she's confirmed to get her SR. I called them to confirm it myself. It's shipping out today.

I don't think they did though. I think their computers were crashing or something, because as I said before, My mother was able to order at 9am est.

You should call CS with your order number. That's the only way to know for sure. Just be nice to them, they're swamped.
