Re: No more B2M????
Update:
I PM'ed the poster last night and she's replied saying her MAC pal and colleagues were told that B2M is costing MAC too much.
It's not been made official as none of the top dogs are admitting it yet, but they were told it's happening soon so the impression they were given is that it may be pulled without notice.
Obviously this is all new at MAC towers so the vast majority of MUAs haven't been told since it's not official yet and seems to be something that's in the pipeline.
Make of it what you will, but if it does happen, don't say you weren't warned.

Re: No more B2M????
Mac normally doesn't lose much with the b2m program...
Youtube's not working right now, and neither is my head so I'm not willing to do the math, but if you guys would like me to I can try to find a video that explains how the b2m works, profit-wise for Mac.
Hopefully this is just a silly rumor

Re: No more B2M????
It's still a rumor to me until I get it from MAC ...my Mac PRO mgr said she has been told no such thing....
But hell I have very few left anyway so I have already B2M'd all that I can at this time...But it still sucks for future B2M if they do discontinue it

Re: No more B2M????
These store locations with MAs who discussed it are all in the UK - you might never hear it from your MAC Tish
hehehe I was thinking perhaps its part of their recycling thing locally, they seem to have different recycling stipulations than most other countries, noone here in AU has said anything about it either

Re: No more B2M????
I went to my freestanding store this past Saturday to B2M for an e/s. I would think the gal would have said something, but she didn't.
Another thing is... for the CCO shoppers, that would totally suck if B2M stopped.
Just like CoachKitten said...

I'm big on recycling. Any company that recycles and gives goods in exchange is a God in my book.
Personally, if B2M ended, I wouldn't buy Mac as much. Maybe by more stuff at Sephora or Ulta b/c they have rewards points.

Re: No more B2M????
I just called my local PRO store (San Francisco, Ca).
The gal I talked to said that they haven't heard anything.
But she did say...
If anything, they would eliminate e/s depots first b/c of the high quanity that "headquarters" has recieved. She said something about they hired a lot more people at "headquarters" to take care of the increased e/s depots. But sometimes they are the last PRO store to know.

Re: No more B2M????
This had better be a rumor. The closest MAC store is in Vancouver, about a 10 hour drive, so I only make it there twice a year or so. And the past TWO trips I've forgotten my empties, so I have quite a few now. I'll be headed down at the end of June, and they better damn well accept my stupid empties or I'll flip!

Re: No more B2M????
I would be bummed if this were true, but I think we are very lucky it lasted so long. I don't know any other companies that have such recycling programs.
On another note, I think this program is particularly relevant today from a marketing standpoint because of the whole going green movement. It just seems like they picked worst time to cut the program.

Re: No more B2M????
Bearing in mind it's only been 24 hrs since the poster was told by her MAC MUA friend ..the news is hardly gonna spread throughout MAC worldwide if it's not been made official yet.
I could warrant their decision to scrap e/s depots as they're giving away free products for items that on the whole haven't been technically used in full at the time of exchange, but it'd be a shame if they scrapped the entire program.
I've mentally prepared myself so that if it does happen I won't be phased by it. I seriously doubt it'd just be scrapped in the UK somehow. It makes no friggin sense!
