Amazon delivery is rubbish, really difficult to communicate with the courier and leave instructions for safe place etc, mine is behind the gate which was okay until it started raining. I should probably get a proper mail box thing but I need a massive one and they're expensive - usually one of us is in.

Glad my Liberty is not due yet, I may have to camp in this weekend to be sure of not missing it!

@IDontHateRainbows depending on your needs, this is pretty good:

I use it for my recycling bags and it's the default option for deliveries as well.

Thanks, it's not secure but is the local scally REALLY going to want to get into my parcel box to remove all my beauty and fragrance purchases? Often the couriers will leave stuff on the doorstep despite having a safe (ish) place and nothing has been taken yet.

My liberty AC is definitely coming tomorrow now and I won't be leaving the house until it does!!

ChristmasCwtch · 20/08/2026 19:07

I don’t want the Liberty AC this year (I want to order SpaceNK). Annoyingly I’ve got £220 in the Liberty beauty drop account 🙄 WYD?

The liberty men's calendar may launch in September, most things are unisex and the few that aren't can be gifted to the men in your life?

My Liberty AC is being delivered by DPD. Not sure I trust them to deliver, might just ask them to let me pick it up at the Post Office. That way I can sneak it into the house early in the morning...
Does anyone know how big it is? Wondering about hiding places now

Why the subterfuge?

Insuffishcakes · 20/08/2026 22:20

I suppose I just feel feel funny about spending loads of money on an advent calendar in the middle of a heatwave. I'll probably bring it out in November, although I tend not to open them during advent, I do a door a week instead as a little treat, so it all feels very indulgent

Fillybuster · 21/08/2026 03:26

I got overexcited by the last BAC pre-order date email & foolishly ordered yesterday before realising that meant it would arrive whilst I’m still on holiday. CS say they are unable to help, which is deeply frustrating. I’m away for another 10 days so I have a feeling I might arrive home to a soggy mess / missing parcel 😢

When you get the confirmation email from them with the tracking number go onto the Royal Mail site and change the delivery date or have it delivered to another address which this allows you to do

They don't use RM as a courier. Its dpd or Amazon

Insuffishcakes · 21/08/2026 09:17

Mine was DPD, just changed the delivery date as I was in the same position. Feeling quite relieved now

IDontHateRainbows · 21/08/2026 10:58

Mine is on its way annoyingly not coming until the evening when I am out and Mr. Rainbows is away. Hopefully it won't be raining too heavily if it has to be left.

user626 · 21/08/2026 12:53

I’ve had an email yesterday saying my BAC has been shipped but no tracking information or which company is delivering it. I’m out all day today and tomorrow. We returned last night to find 2 amazon parcels left in the middle of our driveway so I hope it’s not amazon who deliverer my calendar.

jay55 · 21/08/2026 13:31

Mine was delivered by Hived.

HumBumBum · 21/08/2026 17:38

My BAC arrived by Hived, exciting but it’s living under the bed until November.

Also I just had an ad served to me for the GWP spend level at £175. Seems slightly more achievable but it’s not changed on the main site.

Primrosespaw · 21/08/2026 18:04

My BAC arrived in one piece. I have double checked it including the couple of bits that had different options. Very glad to get the ones I wanted.
I would go for the GWP for £175 as making Frankenstein BAC for mum out of last years box.
BAC is beautiful. Glad I got it for the second year.

Primrosespaw · 21/08/2026 18:07

I wonder if price was lowered after some negative feedback on socials? I left some on insta and sure I’m not the only one from liberty beauty regulars.

Primrosespaw · 21/08/2026 18:15

Just checked with putting Pearl,of Dawn basket. No GWP added. :(

pinkchampagne1 · 21/08/2026 18:24

I just looked on Liberty and it is still saying you have to spend £275 to qualify for the gwp 😐

jay55 · 21/08/2026 18:30

Opened the advent calendar box, just to check that’s what it was. Well the bag is beautiful. Not investigating further will put away somewhere.

HumBumBum · 21/08/2026 21:29

You might have to hang around on Insta to see the Liberty ad for £175 spend

IDontHateRainbows · 21/08/2026 23:00

My advent calendar arrived. For once I have not ripped it open on arrival, as i was on my way out for the evening. Now too tired to do it - will open it in the morning.

HumBumBum · 22/08/2026 07:17

Just got the ad again and it’s an old ad!! Lots of comments complaining that the £175 spend limit doesn’t work when you click through!
