What is your latest haulage?

[vintageroses]

^^ haha ohhhh

yeah i know what you mean, you could have just picked something else. Oh wells maybe that's how they roll! Or maybe they were just really busy today! Have you ordered from them before? do you know roughly how long it takes?

 

[simplyenchantin]

I have ordered from them before but I was in Melbourne then.. it was quite quick, like within a week. It's nothing to do with them though, its to do with USPS and Auspost and flights etc. Once they send it out they can't really control how long it takes to get here

 

[aussiemacluvrrr]

If you buy more than ten bottles from maiandjays, they ship it priority, so all my orders have got here within 2-3 days....

No prob

^^ I'd just like to warn people to be cautious with maiandjays - and maybe I'm over reacting here, <

to follow> but I really dislike it when etailers don't reply to emails, especially when they are overseas, as it is my only way of communicating with them.

For the record, I think if you order polishes that are heavily stocked, the transaction will go smoothly - these people are honest, they just fail with the whole communication thing.

I sent them an email last night asking why they had refunded me for the polish and why they didn't give me a chance to replace it with something else and they essentially ignored my question and replied with "We'd like to note that we refunded you right away for out of stock item and so you did not lose any money."

So I sent them a spiel in return telling them they totally missed my point - and that their point is moot - ebay/paypal policy protects me from losing money anyway, it's not as though they could have sent me one less polish and not refunded me for it, they're acting like they did me a favour by refunding me LOL.

Also, the way I see it, is that I am losing money - now if I want that polish (or one that I could have replaced it with), I'll have to order it seperately and pay for shipping, or order an extra 9 polishes that I didn't plan or ordering. I think that does put me out of pocket, and it could have been avoided if they had bothered to send me an email informing me they were out of stock before just shipping out the rest of my order and refunding with no explanation.

For those who know me you can probably understand my frustration given my previous debacle with Naked Cosmetics and people's failure at taking 2 minutes to write an email. To everyone else, sorry if I annoyed you with my rant

 

[aussiemacluvrrr]

^^ I have had similar issues with them.....

I was buying nail polishes from them one time and my browser f**cked up and I ended up buying 2 of the same colour which I didnt want. So I emailed them and asked if they could delete one because i had only intended on getting one, and they never replied... so I never paid them for it and they placed a non-payment claim against me... i told them where to stick it.. but not once did they ever reply! So when ebay looked at the transaction they found in my favour and removed the nonpayment strike because they said the seller never attempted to resolve it!

However, I have been emailing them over the past 4 days in relation to a large order I placed and they have responded to every email within 20 minutes! I just dont get it...

The only pattern I can see is that if you email them in relation to your purchase (in terms of adding more polishes or querying the availability of a colour) then they write back straight away.. BUT if you email them in relation to an issue with your purchase then you can whistle dixie!

 

[simplyenchantin]

^^ As you said, spastics. However given all you girls' previous discussions regarding nailpolish overseas now being a hassle, they look like the easiest/cheapest way to get polishes. I don't like how they removed OPI from their listings though - I generally pick by what they have up there and not by making a list from scratch etc. Guess next time I'll email them with a list hah.

MAC Creme blush - Lilicent & posey

Is the Hipness blush nice on your skin Carina? I plan to get it from the US but i think it's gonna be quite popular so i'll have to order it as soon as it get released!

Does it look like anything in the perm line? Do you think i should get it? I think you will probably say yes since we are such blush addicts

Oh nooo! I hate that too, i'm planning to order & i just assured my friend yesterday that it will be safe & all. HAHA now i'm getting a tad worried. boo! I totally get your logic though, i think they were just simply too busy to contact you because that means holding your parcel & not sending it out & etc. & it is so much easier for them just to refund you. I hope you get your stuff & enjoy everything though.

 

[simplyenchantin]

^^ I totally understand why they would have done that - but you don't fob off customers just because you're too busy. Anyone who works in retail knows that

 

[vintageroses]

^^ yeah i think sometimes that's the problem with online shops they get so many orders & are not attentive enough to each customer

IT'S SOLD OUT?! i was about to get it oh wellls, tomorrow? that's sooon! that's really fast shipping, did you get someone to do a CP for you? haha i think i need to master the skill of pressing the pump! hehes

Sorry I meant MUFE store in Vancouver

I will be visiting there later in the year. Yeah as Carina said, Media Makeup is the only one selling MUFE here, but they are just importers..

Yeah I got Instant Chic CPd.. Maybe MAC will restock it again!

Mich, it is really annoying what is going on with your nailpolish order. I think they were out of stock with one of the nail polishes I ordered, but they did email me to know that what was happening.. But then this was early last year, so things might have changed

oooh cooool! hahaha buy more when you go there

hahas

I'm gonna skip Instant Chic! I'm gonna be a good girl & wait for MAC to the beach. I don't think i need that many blushes! HAHA

 

[sambibabe]

^^LOL I am skipping Beach collection! Oh except #131 brush, of course

 

[aussiemacluvrrr]

^^ I initially wanted sooo much from To The Beach, but now I'm thinking I'll just get Get Away Bronze Blush, another 130 brush (because I love it soo much) and the 2 nail polishes... And I might even skip the blush if it looks anything like Other Worldy Blush from the Moonbathe collection which I already have..

 

[vintageroses]

^^ Is the brush soo goood? What do you guys use it for? I need to start building up my brush collection!

I've just got my 109 can't wait to use it!

HAHA oh my goshhh Carina, you're skipping the blushes?!?! hahahs

Yess i want the polish too! I just want 1 though, Scorcher: Creamy Bright Coral Red, sounds yum! super excitedddd! I wonder when it will get released in Aus! But i'll probably just purchase it online. As usual. hahas

 

[aussiemacluvrrr]

^^ The 130 is amazing.. I used it to apply my Mineralize SPF 15 Foundation and it gives a flawless finish. I used it to blend my concealer as well... I already have a backup of it, but I want a backup of my backup so I am never without this brush! lol

lol yes I'm thinking of skipping the blushes

 

[sambibabe]

Do you have #131 brush Carina?
I don't know.. the whole beach collection packaging puts me off.. Actually I don't know what's with me nowdays, but whole special packaging thing puts me off! I just want everything to be nice sleek black now

HAHA. well i think it's quite kiddish! Buttttt i like it! HAHA. Maybe it's because i just started this obsession & have not seen that many MAC collection released but honestly i'm quite over all the collections. There are way too many, i have been skipping quite a few!

 

[sambibabe]

#130 is not LE! I am going to wait for F&F to have a back up for that.. I can still get away with #187 & #188.

I used to love all those special packaging stuff. I have almost full Hello Kitty collection. But now I am so over it.. I didn't even like Give me Liberty *go and hides*
