Sorry, what do you mean you b2m'd the box? Like the paper cardboard box?
And for the PRO store, it IS confusing, I agree! If I remember correctly you have to push the floor number on the key pad and one of the associates will buzz you in. The doors are super hard to open too though lol.

if a store said they would not take depotted eyeshadows, would they then take them if i did this? is the only reason why they wont accept them because they dont have the metal pan? would putting in a non-mac metal pan be wrong? i'm very unsure if i should do this or not

I meant they give you the lipstick only, no box. The MA said they need to keep the box for their reference/tallies.

As of September 2008 (the last time I went to this store), the MAC freestanding store at the Avenues in Jacksonville, Florida accepted de-pots. No questions asked. I had gotten a lipglass with the packaging and no marks made on either the l/g or the box.
side note: if anyone visits jax and needs their MAC fix, i'd recommend the aforementioned store. I've been going there since 2001 and never had any problems with them. All the MAs I've encountered there were very nice and helpful!
I remember coming across a thread where a fellow Jacksonvillian said she'd tried to b2m to the MAC store in the St. John's Town Center but they didn't take it.
The MAC store at Southcenter mall in Tukwila, WA is currently accepting de-pots, but according to the MA I spoke to, he said that I should get them in soon because their policy was changing.

Selfridges do. I did a couple of B2M's in there last night. The MA was even asking how I depot my e/s. She was in awe that I used my hair straighteners as she only knew how to do it with an open flame

i stopped by this mac store today and was able to b2m my de-potted e/s! no questions asked... in fact, i was the one to ask if they'd take it, haha. the MA said as long as it was the pot, it was fine. she counted it and tossed it in the b2m bin. maybe they aren't taking pans alone anymore? anyway, i got a l/s, in russian red since i am lacking in red l/s (only one i have is rocker, which is d/c and i want that to last as long as can be, it's my favorite red!)

I took all my depots to the freestanding MAC in Fair Oaks Mall in Virginia. The lady was a bit surprised to see so many (I just started using palletes...), but that was it and I got my eye shadows.

I thought this might be helpful to some of you. I have compiled a list of all the information in this thread. This only includes the stores that DO accept depots. The format is: City, State - Location, specific info (most recent date of visit)
Everything is alphabetical by state and then city.
If you find another store please add it or if you find that the policy has changed at a store please update us! Also, change the date if you visit a store recently and the policy is still the same.
