I strongly suspect they'd like the BD credit to only be usable on beauty but the tech/back end of the ecomm setup they use just isn't sophisticated enough to ringfence things in that way. So much that is baffling in life can be explained by boring practical details... So they just don't mention you can spend it on other things and hope not too many people do.

That was exactly my thought too - and probably explains why their T&Cs are so woolly.

Worth knowing credit expires in two years though.

@Reinventinganna , same thing happened to me last time , except the delivery man left it in the “ safe place “ which the new owners didn’t know about ( I did though )
luckily we are on good terms , and I took it home
I emailed Liberty , just to advise them and to make sure it didn’t happen again , and they sent me an extra box as an apology

Anyway , this box arrived to the correct place and I love it ! ( although I’d always be happy to have a submarine freshener again )

The perfume .. I sprayed it and instantly remembered my mum using it or something very similar , as mum died in 2001 it was a bit of a throwback , but such a happy memory

A lovely box , I’m very happy

Have they discontinued the moon carnival perfume from the last box????

Ainbake · 19/07/2023 20:25

I signed up a couple of days ago. Does anyone know when I get my first box? Guessing it will be sometime in the autumn?

loz12345 · 19/07/2023 20:34

@Ainbake you should get one in the next week or so - I signed up in again in June and got the box that was sent out originally in April and also just got the July box

Exactly! I was going to say “the website isn’t clever enough” but you explained it ever better 😄

Oh that's unexpected, thank you!

Moonlightsonatas · 19/07/2023 21:25

Ha ha it always feels like the Liberty website isn’t clever enough for most things.

I really hope not. Though they do have form for including things in boxes that you then can’t buy on the website.

Oh that's interesting. There's no way I'd stick with it if I was only able to redeem it on beauty and perfume. I'm looking forward to spending all my credit on some ridiculous little homeware trinkets in the post Christmas sale.

Pigtailsandall · 19/07/2023 22:20

I'm hoping to spend mine on jewellery, maybe a ring or a pendant in the Christmas sale. Any particular pieces people have their eyes on?

Damn right. I wanted to look at some Puma x Liberty trainers that I’d seen via Facebook. Searched “Puma” and they didn’t come up. Tried a Google search and there they were.

How can their search function be so utterly useless?

Vilhelm Parfumerie seems to go in and out of stock constantly. The one I want keeps appearing as 3 x 10ml (which I don’t want, I want a regular 50ml bottle) then disappears again. I’d be better off travelling into London to get some.

RJnomore1 · 20/07/2023 00:52

I’m waiting till the next GWP to buy it and noticed a candle offer today but it’s oos in every size.

kenyaswhiterefrigerator · 20/07/2023 06:38

@Ainbake the boxes come approximately mid January, April, July and October

SpongeBobJudgeyPants · 20/07/2023 08:45

I liked the smell of the BD perfume, but it didn't last for me. Moon carnival seems to be the way to go, if you can get it!

Countmeout · 20/07/2023 08:47

How much is a 50ml bottle @Jellycats4life ? I really like Darling Nikki. I could only see 100 ml online.

Does anyone know when the loyalty vouchers are issued? Site states 'every three months', but when? I have £40!

SwordBilledHummingbird · 20/07/2023 09:49

I wasn't keen on the perfume. I liked it less than I thought I would from the description but more than I thought I would from other people's comments 😂 I'm a bit of a perfume addict though and enjoy trying new scents just because I can.

I had another listing on Vinted removed 😥They removed it for being a duplicate, however I really do have four of these items! It's a foundation that I love and stocked up on but accidentally bought the wrong shade and didn't realise until it was too late to return. And no doubt I'll struggle to shift them because that probably aren't that many people who want that particular foundation in that particular shade. Oh well.

BCSurvivor · 20/07/2023 10:14

I'm amazed at how many July Beauty Drops there are listed on Ebay tomorrow, along with lots of the Darling Nikki perfume!
I've just bought another Darling Nikki 2ml perfume on Ebay this morning as I love it!

BCSurvivor · 20/07/2023 10:15

today, not tomorrow !!!

PomRuns · 20/07/2023 10:38

I also love the perfume, I’ve a huge bottle of dear Polly that I purchased to get the last GWP. I think I’ll as for Nikki for Christmas but I’ve so many to get though it’s hard to justify.
I almost wish I hadn’t got the perfume edit now. I peaked too soon.

PomRuns · 20/07/2023 10:42

@SwordBilledHummingbird that’s really annoying. Worth re listing ?
