I did not have the metal part and they still took them.

they are marked so that people can't return or exchange them, not so that they can't b2m them later on. the freebies you get from b2m CAN be b2m themselves.

Is Macy's more lenient with taking depots?

My Macy's is, (Pittsburgh) but it has been about 6 months since I did a B2M so I don't know if they changed policy or not

Thanks!! I tried looking a while ago and I couldn't find any... maybe I didn't search with the correct words or something. I'll have to go check it out again.

Awlllllllllllllllllllllll Man that stinks, cause that's the store I usually take my stuff back to

. I try to avoid the Galleria, the MA's are so rude and overly busy, but not so much.

 

[giggles1972]

damn it....i just attempted my first depot and it came out great so i ended up doing a half dozen pots!!! i soooo hope they let me b2m them without any problems.

Two different MA's at the counter on Macy's in Sugarland told me they take them depotted...

 

[KeshieShimmer]

I hate that some stores/counters take them without pans. It should be the same across the board!

Sorry for the late reply, I went to Columbia. I called the store to confirm what the M/A told me and true enough you can't B2M a B2M item, at least @ Columbia. HTH

I'm glad the MAs at my local counter like me as I never seem to have any problems, they will take back pretty much anything depotted or not. I can only get free lipsticks here but they never mark them, they just take them out of the boxes. I guess that means I can still B2M the empty lipstick when it's done with though.

Oh that sucks, I'm gunna check the counters/stores here first before I depot my shadows... it would be so much easier if they were depotted. Though doesn't really bother me, we can only B2M for lipsticks and I'm allergic to most lip products yay lol.

I was just wondering about this today...this really sucks if its true at NYC stores.

I went to the Rice Village store today and they took my shadow and blush depots with no problems. I B2M hauled on 7 of the Starflash shadows. They said someone came in before me and B2M for 17 items!

 

[Jemma28]

I B2M last week at Rice Village and they took all of my depotted shadows w/out the pans. I also picked up a new shadow as my B2M item and they didn't mark it. I just bought all of the Starflash collection plus 6 more eyeshadows so I will be taking in 18 next week. I will report back if they give me a problem.

when I B2M'ed my MA did the same thing. However when I depot, I also take off the original sticker from the bottom (the part they put the marker on) so you can still return the pots

 

[glamdoll]

Yeah we are checking now, and we we're told not to take them back w/o the metal in it.

The lady at my MAC store just told me this I thought she was lying! ha ha!
That does suck for MAC I guess they dont care as much about the environment anymore, it seems like they are trying to discourage you from using B2M. I been using MAC for years and barely made a dent in my favorite shadows!
I havent came to the end of a blush or eyeshadow. This makes me so mad, its like they shouldnt have started and gotten people used to it. Why cant they accept the plastic AND the metal pans. If you think about it if you depot and bring back the plastic it will be a while before you get to the bottom of a metal pan.
