i pretty much refuse to order from the website now seeing as once they tried to deliver it when i was in and they claimed i wasn't (we didn't have a car on the drive) and they definitely didn't call, there's no depot to collect from and they were going to send it back to mac unless i paid £12 on top of the original £4 for delivery on a saturday. that wasn't actually the delivery company policy but the person on the phone was not listening to me and the items had sold out online so i didn't really want them to be sent back
i only bought online anyway because it was heatherette and i didn't want to spend money and time on train tickets to london to get it. i know that's really not mac's fault but it's stupid. luckily enough i live 15 mins from a counter and the artists at mine are so lovely and talented so i'm happy to go there. i wish we got more postcards! what i found amusing though is when we got euristocrats all the northern america mac fans were complaining because we got them and they didn't! i find they get so much more than we do. i think mac should just keep it standard and make things available everywhere, so it gives everybody a fair chance at getting it.

what i thought was even more hilarious was that on a site somebody offered a cp of euristocrats and then some people had the cheek to complain about the price.. but not in a comment-ish sort of way, more a sort of ill pay you us retail way.

And now they won't even let you view the North American .COM website! It either keeps bouncing me back to .co.uk or comes up with an error message.

I like that MAC does exclusives and can see why some places get certain collections and others dont. Lustre T (pro LW) probably sells more in America and as for Euristocrats - well they were designed specially for european customers cos we wanted more colours for our 'style'.
I think if MAC was available everywhere (like estee lauder, benefit, dior etc) it wouldnt be as fun and exciting as it is now. Yeah I can see how some die-hard fans want all the collections at every counter but it makes me feel like im getting something designer when its not readily available at all counters.

Go on the UK site and look for country chooser on the bottom, it's letting me on the US site that way

Not only do we pay almost double what the US pays, but we don't get simple things such as free standard shipping, and we have missing parts of collections? And missing WHOLE collections (pro longwear lustre whatever its called, not interested in it anyway). Is anyone else starting to get a bit fed up with this? |

I would love to buy some MUFE. I really want the #92 purple eyeshadow and Makeup Provisions being the only place that sells MUFE in the UK (as far as I know) doesn't have it. NYX looks like a good brand too. The US definetly get more choice in makeup and other goods and at great prices.

Damn! Shame tho, when I last went I didn't think they stocked MUFE as i checked the MUFE site in French and Cite Europe wasn't listed, I almost had a heart attack when I turned around and there was MUFE haha. Ah well, I'll prob be going in November (stocking up booze for xmas) so if you have money then I'll get you stuff then!
I'm only going to Calais, i live near dover/the channel tunnel so it probably only takes 2 hours (including tunnel time) getting to france from mine!

It hasn't been there that long I don't think... maybe a year or so? I'm not sure!! Its down the end of carrefour, opposite H&M
