Depotted Shadows and B2M at MAC Rice Village Store

[Hilly]

Not sure where this goes..

I went to B2M 12 depots the other day at MAC Rice Village store and they will no longer at all take depots without the metal piece. I had to really bust out the puppy eyes for them to take them. So just beware before you de-pot that this store will more than likely not take them.

FYI..

thanks for the heads up. That sucks

 

[macedout]

rediculous..........shameful on their part

 

[Hilly]

I know!! It's not like I can B2M the stupid metal pan. Such a bummer! Sucks because I always put my shadows in the pallet so it's a waste.

I know

I live in the Tampa Bay, FL area and nowhere around here will take back depotted eyeshadows... only with the metal pan.

I've been looking for cheap makeup at random places but I haven't found the right size where I can fit the metal pan in a depotted MAC E/S Container... everything is either a hair too big or a hair too small

Booooo!!

That sucks!! That was my go to store. I have never even had them look in the bag. They would just ask how many I had.

I did a B2M on Saturday here in MD, and the M/A marked the bottom of my free shadows and said they are doing that so those pots could not be returned for the B2M program. I don't know if that's new to you guys, but its new to me! So for now on I'll get all my B2M e/s in palette forms and just pay for the ones in the pots. I did not have the metal part and they still took them.

damn MAC..why you gotta be so stingy? lol. I think B2M is awesome..shit needs to get recycled anyways whether it was a freebie or something without the metal pan..it's all going to the same plastic melter recycling thing....

Really? My MAC counter always marks my free lipsticks, but they said that was so people couldn't try to return them, essentially so they could easily recognize a B2M lipstick. I don't see why you can't bring them back in to recycle... it needs to be done anyway, so why not?

You can get metal pans that are MAC sized online for super cheap.

That's ridiculous, considering you can't B2M the Pro Pans.

OMG!! I just friggin' depotted about 15 shadows!!! I hate that store sometimes....However, it is better than the one in the Galleria.

I don't understand why MAC has a recycling program that is supposed to make me be happy about their contributions to the environment when they get stingy with shit like this.

Thanks for the heads up...a friend of mine is the manager over there...I'm gonna have to ask some questions, lol.

FYI, I asked the MA at the Willowbrook MAcy's MAC counter about this and she said they really shouldn't take them back but they really don't check. I haven't started depotting yet but that's exactly where I'm going when I do...HTH

Hmm. I've never had them mark any of my lipsticks or e/s when I get them from Back 2 mAC

 

[Hilly]

i've never had them mark things sample or b2m, but I have recieved marked things when I have bought them from other specktra members. It doesn't bother me or anything.

Actually the metal pans can be used for B2M. That's why we are technically not suppose to take them back w/o the silver pan. There are some who purchase items in palette form only so that way they are able to participate in the B2M program.

Wouldn't you be able to tell the difference though? The palette shadows will have the Mac label on the back, whereas if you depotted yourself it would probably just have some homemade label on the back of it.
