Re: MAC - In the Groove Discussion
Hmm... we don't get ITG over here in Australia until the 27th or something!
I wonder if they will have any stock or SR for us lol.
I'm thinking of just getting By Candlelight & Petticoat and save myself the dissapointment of missing out on stereo rose... as that seems likely.
sigh...

I guess I'll have to wait until midnight when they start sending out emails to find out if everything went through? |

Okay so many not in 1/2 hour, but definately less than an hour which is still insane! ML was like 2-3 hours, no?

You ordered from the regular MAC US site at 8:30 am EST and yours was back-ordered?

Mine does say pending. But I talked to a CSR last night who said it shipped, that they hadn't put the tracking numbers into the sytem yet.
This happens whenever I order from MAC, especially when I upgrade to overnight - sometimes I get the ship notice AFTER I receive the pacakge LOL

Yep, mine was. I don't understand how some people here who ordered after me (online) did not get backordered. I still didn't get a tracking or shipping notice and I ordered a bunch of other things from both new collections. Grrrrr. Sucks for real. Anyway, at 10am this morning I'll be on the phone with my counter to put a couple on hold. One for me and a friend of mine who ordered online at 8:30am as well. Blows.

Re: MAC - In the Groove Discussion
These LE hypes are stressing me to the point where I think I'm not going to go out of my way to try and nab Stereo Rose.
I enjoy swatching, picking and using makeup and I'm getting to the point where this isn't fun. I'm worried that if I do get it, there's no way its going to live up to my expectations now LOL
I'm going to the counter tomorrow to look at the collection with the mindset that if there's something in stock that I love and would get if I knew nothing about the collection and I just happened to be walking by, then I'll grab it.
I hope you all get your Groove wishes!!!

You could call your store back at the end of the day and ask if they have had many calls about Stereo Rose! That might give you an indication as to how early you should arrive!

I've never done this before, so I'm trying to think of how early I should get there. PS - the girl couldn't believe they're sold out online because "these are launched on Thursday". I can't believe they don't know the site puts them up earlier. |

Stereo Rose is selling out crazy fast! We're gonna be lucky if any of us can get our hands on one.

Maybe try calling back and speaking to a different MA to see if you can get it put on hold ??? I know that at my particular counter (thankfully) everybody is nice there and will put items on hold whereas another counter I deal with a lot of the MAs there are snot rags when it comes to putting items on hold. It can't hurt to try again just to make sure.

Me too, which is why I think people will be. I mean, I remember coming to specktra 2 years ago and seeing a swatch of SR, and I've wanted it ever since. And I know there are people who have wanted it much longer than I have.

Your best bet is to call MAC CS with your order number. They'll tell you right away.

That's a fantastic [and sneaky, I LOVE it!] idea! Ill file this away for future use.

Yeah, I'm pretty positive they only made a few hundred of Stereo Rose. Idiots.

lsperry: i have actually gotten this email before - and my order actually showed up 2 days later. I think they send this out whenever they need some extra time in shipping out the order.
Here is the background to my story, because right now, any insight to MAC's operations is highly valued:
I ordered a huge To the Beach collection but because work all of a sudden picked up, I missed the UPS guy 3 days in a row so my entire order got sent back to MAC...when I called to clear it up they sent my order out back in pieces, and I got the email about Lazy Day lipstick. I got the rest of my order the next day, so I was super sad about not being able to get Lazy Day. But lo and behold - next day I received it! so lsperry I think you might be ok on this.

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. |

Because by making it SO limited, they were 100% certain they'd sell out. When you're presenting to your investors, it looks REALLY good to say that a certain percentage of your stock has sold out consistantly. So say, they'll have something like "About 25% of items in Limited Edition Collections sold out last quarter".
Investors will see this, and invest more money into the company. Most companies will make more stock to draw out more profits [especially if they were in biiiig fiscal trouble], but MAC seems to just be going for the Sold-Out numbers.
Hope that made sense.
