Anyone selling things on Vinted please pm me your usernames and I will follow you. I am a very frequent buyer! 😆

I think it’s totally understandable , I finally decided yesterday and got Elle but am wondering if I should have waited . But I am at peace 🧘‍♀️🙏🏽 . But with everyone else it just wasn’t a “ oh I must have this one” like last years Liberty . Last year I just knew . But this year it’s all a bit less . I don’t know why maybe it’s because it’s a lot of stuff we have all had in edits ? Maybe that the answer starve yourself all year then it will all look good 😂

Was yours full price or did you use the rogue discount code?

So my CB AC order went through with the rogue code, it was meant to be shipped yesterday with royal mail but it's still with CB even though I received a shipping email. I think it's going to be cancelled. Everyone who's ACs are out for delivery today, did you order with or without the code? I'm a gold member should my delivery should be today 😬

The rogue code didn't work for me. Guess I was too late so paid full price. My calendar is in transit with royal mail with an estimated delivery date of today. But I havent received any time slots from royal mail.

I think thats your anwser. Get the candle and the other thing from Vinted

I ordered with the code - was meant to be express delivery, but it's still 'processing' today. (I'm silver, but got free next day delivery on it)

I did get the £20 voucher email though.

I used the CBAFF discount code and mine is supposedly being delivered today, not here yet.

I'll be scouring Vinted later for the CB items I want. I've already told my other half his job is to check all the drawers for damaged stuff when my advents arrive. Then, what I sell, he gets to pick what to put in the drawer, so it still leaves an element of surprise for me😁 Think ill do a stock take later, might stop me from ordering more🫣

If anyone wants to pm me their vinted or ebay names I'd be very grateful, I want to replace the Reome broth in day 24 from Liberty with something different. I've started using it already and quite like it though despite all the trouble with it.

My Harrods calendars are due midday and my Selfridges calendar is with dpd so I'm guessing tomorrow for that. Im more excited than I am at Christmas 😂

Me too please! Especially those of you selling from CB and Liberty! Thank you

I paid full price. I cba with the faff of trying to cancel and buy again with code. Should be arriving between now and 2pm.

Do you have tracking for it? Mine says it's been shipped and will arrive today but when I look on royal mail, they haven't even got it.

What are you wanting? I'm planning to sell quite a few things, well, that's if it arrives 🙄🤣

CB are notoriously shite and I predict they will cancel the CBAFF ones, save a very few that got through before the glitch was noticed.

My 5 x perfume samples are also stuck on processing

Earlier in the week I ordered somethign that came next day so I don't think it's me, they'll probably be overwhelmed with advent orders (not like that couldn't be predicted) or desperately trying to avoid sending out the cbaff ones.

I think I only wanted the CB calendar because of the glitch/hack so I couldn't be less bothered.

I haven't had the £20 CB voucher, contacted them this morning and they've resent, but still not received. They are going to pass to the technical team 🤷🏻‍♀️

I didn't even know I'd bought it with a code 🤷🏻‍♀️🤣 I'm just like if they're going to cancel, just do it already 🙄 it's reminding me of the perfume society debacle 🤣

Oooh I just got an email from.CB about my calendar order (with the code):

"We're sorry to let you know that your Order [...] has not yet been sent to you.

We know that feeling all too well when you're eagerly awaiting your latest haul, so we’re working hard to dispatch your order as soon as possible. To check the status of your order, please log into your account."

If anyone doesn't want the eyelash curlers that are in Harrods and another BAC too I will buy them off you. I've always wanted some but have decided against Harrods overall as I don't use hairspray and hate it when they put tablets in a BAC grrr. Also don't need a blusher brush. Since JLP seems to be OOS I think I will bite the broth bullet and go for Liberty.

I received this email from CB just now. I interpret it as it is likely that they will honour the sales with the discount code. But I still can't be sure, perhaps they are still discussing it.
CB:
We're sorry to let you know that your Order xx has not yet been sent to you.

We know that feeling all too well when you're eagerly awaiting your latest haul, so we’re working hard to dispatch your order as soon as possible. To check the status of your order, please log into your account.

Still no news of my HFAC either. Hope those who have received theirs enjoy it, it is the most exciting AC for me!

My perfume samples have been sent but aren't arriving until Saturday. I don't get why they released an edit this week on AC week 🙄 although I don't think it's been overly popular, it's still a bit daft in my opinion.

are you sure you are even speaking to a human yet? I think they train their bots to sound vaguely like real people and the 'technical team' is just the human you'll eventually be put in contact with, after about a week if you're lucky

I have some from the fenwick one that you can have, if you just send me postage. PM me!

Mainly SR Tidal and the Paulas choice product. I have a list at home, so will look over the contents again to see if anything else catches my eye😂

Are you sure it's not worth just buying the ac? 😉
