Yes I know, I'm stupidly early, but I love a beauty advent calendar and I've just seen Liberty has stopped a sneak peek at their offering this year...

I see Malin and Goetz have introduced a TOMATO CANDLE. If this finds its way into any of the advent boxes I will not be held responsible for my actions

There was a tomato calendar (can’t recall brand in the liberty calendar a feed years back…I was not impressed…

Harrods have turned the contact us back on... WhatsApp sent requesting a refund or partial refund of the £20 postage.

TreesinthePark · 30/08/2024 16:41

@isabelle70 I am fuming on your behalf and hope you get your refund

QueefofSheena · 30/08/2024 17:11

@Puravida23 i was considering CB but theirs doesn’t look like it’s totally fragrance. I wish they would all hurry up and reveal full contents

Isabelle70 · 30/08/2024 17:30

@TreesinthePark thank you 😁 I have WhatsApp them and they have asked for extra details.
I wouldn't be so bad if both parts of the order has been cancelled but no one in their right mind would pay £20 postage for a similar valued product.

I’m on a Facebook fragrance group, and quite a few people are reporting cancelled orders there too. But someone who contacted customer service was given a different message to the above - saying it’s all being reviewed.

Lots of people complaining on TikTok about orders being cancelled too, even though they ordered as soon as they got the email. It's looking as though they sold out the day before they even sent the email to the wait list, which REALLY bad.

They should be using store stock to fulfil the orders IMO

Isabelle70 · 30/08/2024 17:57

Partial good news, Harrods Customer Service are arranging a full refund of the delivery cost for the inconvenience caused.
There management are also looking into the issue as a whole.
I would really prefer a calendar.

That's something at least.

Isabelle70 · 30/08/2024 18:17

@OchonAgusOchonOh yes, makes the cancellation a bit more palatable.
Following on from the first messages with them she has said they are working towards a resolution as quickly as they can.
I wonder what that means? Will then find some extra stock?
I also mentioned that I hope multiple calendar purchasers have had their orders cancelled so they can't sell on a resell site at a premium.

OchonAgusOchonOh · 30/08/2024 18:20

Hopefully they will find the extra stock for you and others affected @Isabelle70

Isabelle70 · 30/08/2024 18:21

I have had some good news today, my Liberty calendar has arrived at the shipping forwarder so that should be delivered to me next week 😄

MidnightMeltdown · 30/08/2024 18:25

@Isabelle70 Maybe Harrods will send out a gift voucher of some kind to enable people to purchase a perfume at a discounted price. They should offer some form of compensation given their major cock up!

I have PTSD from that tomato candle. Tomatoes are summery and fresh, not warm and candley

MidnightMeltdown · 30/08/2024 18:45

First impressions - disappointing. This is a definite no for me.

MidnightMeltdown · 30/08/2024 18:55

@JudgeBurrito

I agree. I think that this is another one that may appeal to a younger crowd (late teens/early 20s).

The price seems high for the contents, but I imagine that this is because they plan to offer the usual 'discounts' to make people feel that they got a bargain.

FuckThePoPo · 30/08/2024 19:08

My liberty has just arrived 👏

My harrods was cancelled this afternoon and a refund issued but I've just had another email saying it has been an error and it's still allocated to me!! Huge mess!

MidnightMeltdown · 30/08/2024 19:21

I was just wondering when Sephora were going to release

That friggin Neom candle is everywhere! I'm sure that Sephora has one last year too...

Maybe they'll send it to you without charging you again. That would make up for the stress.

No way. If this is the case for everyone then they've got a huge administrative nightmare on their hands!

Puravida23 · 30/08/2024 19:28

Wow @CinnamonCoffee . Harrods are all over the place. But brilliant news you still have the advent . I vented all over their insta page and they have come back asking me to DM . Nothing will come or it but at least I will have a direct forum to raise my concerns about how badly they have handled this

Addictedtobeauty · 30/08/2024 19:30

Just had the same email @CinnamonCoffee
Wonder how they will do this?

Maybe they'll send you a store one.

I wonder whether this is what they're doing now that they're getting all these complaints. Of course it's what they should have done in the first place...!
