Re: does BACK2MAC still exist?

B2M is at present still running, but sad times it is ending.

B2M is very soon to be no more in the UK. We all knew it was going to be phased out but from the discussion I had in MAC about it today sounds like it won't be too long before it's gone. With the economic downturn MAC had nowhere in the UK to recycle the empties, so they were being sent overseas at a high cost. It's just not viable for them to continue with it so at present nothing returned in the UK is actually being recycled.

Luckily for me I spend quite a lot of time in the US and so can take my empties with me, but all the same it sucks, so B2M while you still can everyone!

Re: does BACK2MAC still exist?

yeah i always send my goodies to Richard at mac HO. he sends me back the free lipsticks because i can't get into a store.

so i shall continue to send my lippies to him until i am told that they don't do it anymore. there have been rumours for years saying B2M will end.... but it's still going strong!

Have you sent depots LMD84? I have a load of eyeshadows that I really want to depot but I know my local MAC won't take them.

Re: does BACK2MAC still exist?

Woohoo!!

I presume I need to call the Customer Services number to get details of how to go about it? Thank you so much for sharing this info. It's quite sad how excited I am

Re: does BACK2MAC still exist?

yes,call customer service and they can give you Richards address... i can't find my bit of paper with the address on right now! it does take about 14 days to have your lippies sent to you, oh and you can also get pro colours this way too!

Shame they are stopping it over here, although i took mine over to the US on my last trip as i liked being able to pick from lipstick, gloss or eyeshadow

Re: does BACK2MAC still exist?

I was wondering about B2M since I've never done it before (I'm north east too like the OP). I think I'm going to save up and B2M at PRO in the US on my holiday.
I think if they stop B2M in the UK they need to start another kind of 'rewards' program, because even though it's a good incentive to recycle, it is also the only type of program MAC have that rewards us for being loyal customers who actually buy and use 6 items! most other brands do promotions and freebie offers other than MAC. They did offers with nordstorm (I think it was, or another Dept. Store) buy two get one free on lipglosses and eyeshadows. In the UK we're buying products too!

sorry for the little rant, just something I was thinking then.

Totally agree. Even trying to get a sample sometimes (in contemplating a prospective purchase) is like getting blood out of a stone!

has it stopped yet?

 

[lovesongx]

I B2M'd for a lipstick at the beginning of May and they didn't mention anything about it finishing soon.

 

[cazgh]

i b2m 2 weeks ago - no problem

 

[LMD84]

i honestly think it's just one of those things that goes around occasionally. i doubt it will stop. ma's were just told to stop promoting it that's all.

 

[lovesongx]

I think you're right Lou, I B2M'd for Snob today and there was no mention of it finishing!

 

[coppertone]

I B2M's for Made To Order last month and nothing was said - so fingers crossed they'll carry on honoring it...at least for the time being!
