Unless mine’s going backwards and I get a cancellation email next! Grin

Talking about Kiehl's I just received a nice 7ml jar of their face cream. I think I ordered it through Facebook.

@OchonAgusOchonO @foilflower So it's clear as mud then Grin

And yours says estimated delivery 12/10 Ochon

So it's clear as mud then - Pretty much.

I'm assuming the date on mine hasn't changed as they did say it would take time to dispatch all the calendars.

I preordered the Lookfantastic calendar, it said order placed then moved to processing, back to order placed, then processing, now it’s order placed. Confused I received an email Tuesday morning that apologised for the delay and that it would be dispatched within 48 hours, it hasn’t been Sad I’m hoping it turns up. I usually get the M&S one but thought I’d give this one a try.

I can't work out what's going on but hopefully we get them!

M&S isn't doing one this year but I think LF is better if it arrives!

OchonAgusOchonO · 15/10/2020 18:39

I emailed LF to see what was happening and got this:

Thank you for getting in touch about your order of one of our fabulous advent calendars!

Our calendars are due to get dispatched nearer the end of the month. We've not yet had any updates from our couriers, but as soon as we do we'll be in touch.

We are doing our best to get them sent over to everyone in time for the Christmas season!

Thank you for your patience and we're sorry if this has caused you any inconvenience.

That's bizarre, seems very unfair.
Mine is already with An Post

And you ordered yours after me. There doesn't seem to be any logic to it.

Mine’s back on Order Placed and the bar has gone backwards so the order status means nothing. Bit annoyed that I ordered in September and they’re sending out more recent orders first. I’d had the e-mail saying they expected to dispatch within 48 hrs on Tuesday - so that hasn’t happened. I don’t mind as long as I get it - but I’m expecting deliveries to go downhill again in the future so I hope it gets sent out soon.

Yes. I'm the same.
FredaFox · 15/10/2020 20:19

Mines back on processing too

clary · 15/10/2020 21:22

I've had an email today saying mine will arrive between Saturday and Monday... will update

Ginsmything · 15/10/2020 21:27

I too have had an email saying expected delivery tomorrow or Saturday so 🤞🏻

Ginsmything · 15/10/2020 21:28

Oh and I ordered it 1/9/20

chloechloe · 15/10/2020 21:31

I hope you get an answer about your Liberty calendar soon mia.

I’ve ordered LF from an EU site and that’s obviously in a backlog too. Liberty is however patiently sitting under my home office desk. I’ve figured I’ll pop it on my desk in December and hopefully the kids won’t notice it there.

You naughty enablers are making me wonder if I could justify another with a Black Friday offer - I can’t believe Harrods went half price in the past!

OchonAgusOchonO · 15/10/2020 21:39

@Ginsmything - I too have had an email saying expected delivery tomorrow or Saturday so

Hummphh. I'm getting frustrated at all you people getting yours. I want mine NOW!! [Stamps foot]

Ginsmything · 15/10/2020 21:53

@OchonAgusOchonO hopefully you will get yours soon

OchonAgusOchonO · 15/10/2020 21:57

@Ginsmything - hopefully you will get yours soon

Thank you. Unfortunately, they said near the end of the month Confused

It was literally for half a day or something stupid! Grin

MiaN · 16/10/2020 06:36

I got response from Liberty yesterday. They are sending one so fingers crossed this time it works!

MiaN · 16/10/2020 07:30

I ordered one with my September birthday gift vouchers/points - Space NK. One DH is buying me and I bought the Cult beauty myself. Complete overindulgence for sure, I used to get Space NK & M&S and maybe something around black Friday but this year I went all out.

3 days ago I decided I am going to open a box/day each evening instead of treating myself with chocolate and only if I have been sensible with my eating. :) . It has been such crazy year and I am not going to go into it on happy advent discussion but it's great to come here and escape from the news!

I also noted this year I spend nothing until end of Augusts on beauty apart from hair & bath & body products. I am going to hopefully do same next year.

ShrimpSymphony · 16/10/2020 08:11

My Look Fantastic just arrived

ShrimpSymphony · 16/10/2020 08:12

My husband opened the door to get it but I’m guessing it was Hermes rather than An Post at this time
