I am delighted you have received yours but this highlights the mismanagement by LF, I pre-ordered on 1 September and still no sign of it.

That is so disappointing. I just cannot understand why so many companies seem to be finding this so difficult. I'm sorry it's taking the shine off things for so many people. ☹️

Has anyone received an email from Harvey Nichols regarding a security breach? Trying to work out if it's legitimate or not ahead of their calendar release.

Yes, I have received the same email.

Lol 😂

I agree btw that Look Fantastic is a good deal if you want the Elemis and the palette; but the only other interest for me there is the Medik8 and I really don't want any Avant bobbins.

Think I am going to hang on the JL and see what I think....trying not to spend....

@Couperi yes, I’ve received the email. Looks legit to me, especially as they are not advising any action other than being vigilant.

Thanks both. Going to feel slightly paranoid if I do order their calendar now but I'll keep a close eye on my account.

What's going on with Harvey Nics, what did the email say? They're all having a nightmare this year.

update… after being assertive in the insta DMs of SpaceNK, I’ve just had my dispatch email for my calendar.

If anyone is looking at LIB ? I had one (for reasons best known to myself) in my basket ready to check out thinking it was the Look Fantastic one ......
It had around £30 off ? So worth looking at .
Was a link from a TikTok that buys online and shows you ?

Space NK now showing as out of stock online.

Hopefully they've just taken it offline temporarily to sort out the dispatch issues.

Bloody typical - couldn’t they have held out one more day until I got paid!🙄 Hopefully it’s just temporary until they sort themselves out.

@clary I wanted the medik8/Elemis/mac/palette/estee Lauder/few other things so was well worth it, and someone happily took the bits I didn't want off me on Vinted so another £8 to the calendar for stuff I really didn't want (avant/ultra sun/aveeno/powderpuff/mask).

Felt quite good to both get calendar, and offload the DoDs quickly.

It's instock now

Tempted by the Glossy box one - am I remembering correctly that in the past it's been discounted in Oct/Nov??

If anyone's been waiting, I've just seen that the main Harvey Nicks calendar is available this morning, but no sign of the fragrance one yet.

Yes it was last year prior to Black Friday

How do you price things on Vinted? Do you bundle or list individually. I want to do this with a few things but I've not sold on Vinted before.

Any advice about the price sweet spot? It needs to worth my effort but also I want it to sell quickly. I was think something that was RRP £30 selling for about £6 - does that sound reasonable.

Sounds reasonable to me - Vinted quite handy because when you try and upload it shows you similar items that have sold. Generally, it's like anything, if it's slightly underpriced it'll be sold in 10 mins, and if it's overpriced it might sit for weeks - but you can always take an offer at a later date.

I didn't intend to get an advent this year, and made myself one with really nice bits from recent kits and a liberty box from a couple of years ago. But after stalking a few bits from the space NK calendar on vinted and ebay I convinced myself it was better value to just buy it. Which it is, but my stash is going to be huge so I really need to have a no-buy '25 at this rate 😬

That's my dilemma - I want Liberty but I've still got too many little bits and bobs. And I'd like to get the Bader retinol off Vinted but ditto...

Having never really considered buying beauty on Vinted before, I had a quick look for Good Genes the other day, and I could buy a staggering amount of calendar minis for not much money. 15mls for well under £10.
