Keep trying Molotov it will work - they sell out fast but not THIS fast. It's just the amount of traffic on site, they can only handle so many orders at once.

happilybemused · 07/10/2020 07:26

Yes to the Liberty one no longer selling out as fast. Last October half term went up to London on a shopping trip (oh those days) and they had quite a few in store.

I do love it but there is certainly a lot more competition in recent years.

MolotovMocktail · 07/10/2020 07:26

Yay I managed after a few refreshes. I feel a bit the same Polpette but it’s been such a shitty year and it’s probably going to get worse, may as well have something nice to look forward to. I’m justifying it by thinking about all the money I’ve saved this year by not being able to do anything.

Pam There are so many we've discussed on this thread. I've gone for Look Fantastic and Holland & Barrett. I like the look of the Elle one too

Liberty appears to be out of stock now. I wasn't going to buy it but you all talking about it made me curious Grin

MiaN · 07/10/2020 07:37

liberty is in stock every time I check from my laptop - if anyone is still waiting keep trying

tellmewhentheLangshiplandscoz · 07/10/2020 07:37

Clutching at straws here but does any one think the Feel Unique beauty bag could come back on today? So cross at myself for dithering and gutted I missed out especially as the little extra spend I did after 20% was all products I use and even they were discounted. I'm such a tool Sad

ajandjjmum · 07/10/2020 07:40

I've got the Elle one for DD for the last two years, and have just ordered it again. She also got the ASOS one for Jadvent last year, and was pleased with that. An expensive little tradition we've started here! Grin

Chickydoo · 07/10/2020 07:40

@Polpette I feel guilty too. Told DH just now thought I had better get it over with quick. Told him it would make me happy through December.
Confused

ajandjjmum · 07/10/2020 07:41

Now you need to think of one to make you happy through November Chickydoo! And then there's January. Grin

MolotovMocktail · 07/10/2020 07:53

So I ordered a Liberty calendar half an hour ago and now they’ve cancelled my order Hmm

TheQuietWoman · 07/10/2020 07:56

Mia I just went on my laptop and got one....thank you!!!!

TheQuietWoman · 07/10/2020 07:56

Oh no Molotov..are you ordering again?

chloechloe · 07/10/2020 07:58

You’re not having much luck today molotov, how annoying! It’s showing in stock now. Liberty are really making Ames’s of this aren’t they. I also received the Liberty email at 8am CET today, but had an alert from Really Ree before that at 1am. I hope you manage to get one.

MolotovMocktail · 07/10/2020 08:04

It’s showing in stock but won’t let me add to bag on mobile or laptop! I’m not really feeling like giving them my money now tbh. Oh well, maybe I’ll buy an empty one on eBay and fill it with treats Smile

MiaN · 07/10/2020 08:06

it's consistently showing in stock, every time I check. Why would they cancel it? Can you try different browser?

MolotovMocktail · 07/10/2020 08:07

Seems weird doesn’t it. They sent me an email saying it had been cancelled with no reason. Just managed to order another one...I’ll probably get two now!

MiaN · 07/10/2020 08:10

I was looking at net-a-porter one as the box looks lovely but I have to say few things really annoyed me. One being one of the boxes having something that is small - 1 of them. Space NK had 6 and often in gwps you get 3, 1 in such expensive advent is annoying. I am shocked how quick net a porter sold but they also ship globally

chillibeansauce · 07/10/2020 08:10

I've just found out that I can get £30 off orders of £150 and above at Harvey Nichols - can anyone who has the GWP tell me if it's worth it ?

MiaN · 07/10/2020 08:19

do they still have it?
there is nice espa face oil, dr dennis gross pads, 7ml augusitnes bader, good size body cream, some good cleansers. It's not bad if you can combine it and get the discount and the gwp too

Bellsandwhistle · 07/10/2020 08:24

My Liberty cancelled too - no reason. Poor form.

Doilooklikeatourist · 07/10/2020 08:27

I didn't get an alert that the Liberty calendar was available , luckily this thread was my alert ! And I've ordered one ... I think

In my haste and excitement I typed my email address wrongly ( off to create new email .. and check my credit card online ! )

andIdidntliketheending · 07/10/2020 08:31

@Pomegranatespompom

I’m going to look at the Arran one too. Good luck with liberty orders today.
If you are NHS there’s 30% off the Arran one, which is very tempting!
TawnyPippit · 07/10/2020 08:38

I ordered the Liberty one - had an email this morning - and also had it cancelled about 10 mins later, after I had had a confirmation. Have ordered another but no idea whether I now have one, two or none Hmm

ajandjjmum · 07/10/2020 08:51

In the interests of research for this thread, I have just ordered the Liberty calendar, which I absolutely don't need (want, maybe!) I'll let you know if it's cancelled.
