Can you do that on the US site as well? I am on my school's computer and I don't feel comfortable putting my info on this thing.

^^^You should be able to place your order by phone. I just called and didn't even wait for someone to answer.

Candian Specktraites, Have you gotten an e-mail saying that your order has shipped? I ordered yesterday and have not. I went to chcek my order status on maccosmetics.com and it says that it's n/a and that you can only get it through calling the 800 no. Just wondering what the case is with you ladies!

 

[chiquilla_loca]

Great News Ladies!
I just called customer service again, and was told that you can order anything on the site even if it says Out Of Stock & use your promo code, and they will just ship it to you when its back in stock.

<-----running to put the 138 in my shopping bag!

 

[MissResha]

YAY!

sorry if you haven't recvd many responses, everyone's busy making their orders!

you can always go on Live Chat and the MAC artists can help you chose colors based on what you already have.
i contacted them today as to which paint pot to buy, painterly or soft ochre.
Erika was very helpful!

I've often order online and always only receive the initial confirmation e-mail that has the subject line "Thank you for placing your order at MAC online." To find out if it has been shipped you would have to go to your account and see your order status. Usually it takes 1 day for order status to go from "N/A" to "Processing" and maybe another day for it to say "Shipped."

I just check the order I placed yesterday around 8 PM and it shows that it has shipped.

My order is still pending, is there a confirmed status that comes before the shipped status?

I haven't ordered from mac in a while and I'm getting super anxious about silly little things concerning my order.

I just want my makeup.

nope, as far as I know the status goes from pending to shipped. you should only be worried if the status is "n/a"

you'll receive a shipping confirmation email once it has shipped

^The only way to know right away, is to call CS. It takes them awhile to update the online shipping status - especially now with the sale. Most times, its already shipped but the site says pending.

 

[IDontKnowMomo]

Sigh of relief

Now to figure out whats going on with my Lush UK order D:

 

[enigmatic]

Good to know! I was paranoid that something was up with my order but I know that MAC has got a huge amount of orders coming in right now. This is the first time I've ordered during a sale.

Will it really take 5-7 days just to process the order? My last MAC order took almost 2 weeks to California. I'm excited about my stuff, it's making me impatient.

paradisco works for me. i would say it has medium pigmentation. u can go really light or pack on the color. it does require some effort but i love the color.

^It depends on how swamped they got, or if they beefed up their staff for the sale. Yeah, I have heard that it does take awhile for the orders to get to Ca. - bummer.

They used to be super fast with orders, but gradually shipping seemed to get a little slower. All in all though, MACs pretty good with getting it right.

 

[TISH1124]

I have gotten Shipment Notices from Mac Online days after I received my order...so funny

 

[elegant-one]

yep! me too

 

[pampie]

my order came in today! (i ordered last week when the code worked on the cdn site)
here's what i got:

plink l/s
bare s/s
love nectar l/g
virgin kiss l/g
15 e/s palette
all that glitters e/s pan
mulch e/s pan
217 brush

i also got a question for you guys, virgin kiss is my first ever lipglass and the one i got looks kinda separated, is this normal??

 

[NernersHuman]

Okay, mine is still showing pending on the site, but I called just for laughs and she said my order shows that its been packed and is ready to go out in the warehouse, so I guess the site just takes a while to update.
