Beauty & Fragrance Advent Calendars- Info/Chat 2026 SPOILERS Thread 2

New thread

Guidelines
I'm starting this first one but hoping that when a thread looks close to ending another thread member can set the next one up. This is not working out so well. 😂

To avoid duplicate threads please try to post in the thread that's ending to alert everyone you're setting up a new one.

Other members check who was first to offer and whether a new one is live.
It might be an idea to keep a list of advents that are live in the OP and later on which are sold out. This can be copy/pasted/edited when a new thread is started.

It probably goes without saying but please be courteous and patient with each other. This thread will have spoilers and please no judging of others for their purchasing choices. Participation in the threads is optional.

I just received a curious pop up whilst on the Boots app, they seem to be really working hard on the FAC.

I'm pretty sure (99.9%) it's Jo Malone.

Well I think I’ve missed out. I can’t process the order because it doesn’t ship to my country (the U.K.). I had this issue before and it took about a week to fix and I’ve tried contacting CS and they are too busy to take any new queries and to contact them at a quieter time! Shocking!!!

That's rubbish. They're known for weirdness around addresses. I remember from last year. Any relatives you could send it to then forward on?

Can you checkout as a guest or do it on your phone in secret mode and see if it works?

Thelifeofawife · 03/08/2026 11:44

I decided to go ahead and buy the Harrods BAC now rather than wait. Why I thought to do it when the app had just sent the notification and traffic on the app would be bad, I don’t know; it crashed as my payment was going through so I didn’t know if I’d been successful or not as the page was frozen 🙈
Anyway, I’ve now received a confirmation email so panic over 😅

Trying opening the link in private browsing. I find this often works when nothing else will.

Thanks for the suggestion sadly it doesn’t work.

JoRaRaRa · 03/08/2026 11:42

Where abouts do you live? Is it the fragrance or beauty that you're after?

England. I’m not one for moderation I need all three despite deciding only a week ago I wasn’t going for the fragrance!

Try deleting your cookies and browsing history. Sometimes clearing the memory resets it. Good luck x

I want the Harrods BAC but Im going to wait till later when it's hopefully calmed down a bit. My DP is buying it for me anyway and was working last night. I'm not sure he'll be as keen to pay for it if I go and wake him up now 😂

Are you checking them out individually or as one order? Maybe only one of the calendars is the issue? (Although not sure why it would be, but it is Harrods 🤷‍♀️)

I’ve tried both ways. My DH finishes work at lunchtime today so I will see if it works on his account. But time is ticking and I will have to confess to what I’m ordering.
does anyone have the link for the hair one? I can’t seem to find that one and he doesn’t have the app.

BeanNaGealai · 03/08/2026 11:56

Thelifeofawife · 03/08/2026 11:31

Just received an app notification from Harrods regarding the calendars; only 1.5hr late 😅

Same.

🤞it works for him and you can get what you want.

I have just woke my DH up after his night shift with a cup of tea and a link to the Harrods beauty calendar 😁

Oh I hope he can get it ordered for you. Maybe just go for the fac one today as that's the one that will sell out. You can get the others when it all calms down.

Hope you get it to work. The beauty one doesn’t tend to sell out for at least a month so you should have plenty of time

Beautyfox · 03/08/2026 12:10

I’ve just tried setting up a completely new account, new email and it was set to U.K. and still the same error message! I’ve tried on my laptop and on my phone. I’m not quite sure what the issue is. Hopefully my DH will be my knight in shining armour.

edited to say the same error happens on the app and website.

Caggie09 · 03/08/2026 12:15

I keep going to look at the FAC, but im really not feeling it. I did want the hair & body, but might hold off. The Elle one looks good too.

ClutteredPalace · 03/08/2026 12:16

Looks like the FAC is sold out now. It's not appearing as a pre order on the app anymore for me and the previous link I used doesnt work.

OvaHere · 03/08/2026 12:17

The FAC is going to page not found now. So that might be it. Although I have a feeling it may come back for further drops.

OP posts:
OvaHere · 03/08/2026 12:20

The message on the app says it's sold out in the exclusive app pre-order window. Visit Harrods.com tomorrow for updates.

I think it's going to come back at least once.

Sounds like. That was quick. About 1.5 hours?
