Beauty Advent Calendars Thread 12 - reeling in the aftermath of SFAC, we soldier on... 💄💋

[LightandBreezy]

Welcome to the 12th thread, we still have 50 days till the daily unboxing officially starts, although I very much doubt any of our calendars will remain untouched until then 😂
Still time for lots more friendly chat, tips and discount codes - to cut down on links as a poster requested, here's link to some very comprehensive run-downs of the calendars https://beauty-detective.com/category/beauty-advent-calendars/
When enjoying those breakdowns please remember that some are OOS already - Harrod's Fragrance, Harrod's Beauty and Selfridges Beauty to name a few.

I got logged out- 17000 people ahead of me.

Keep in the queue, some people might leave or not buy.

I've got 12k in front of me on one and 155k on another device.

Im having the same problem with the wish list. Im 16,000 in the queue on my iPad and 67000 on my laptop, but I’m certain I won’t get one. I was regretting ordering one off eBay but Im quite glad I did now!

I queued from 8 (despite saying I didn't want it) and only got the restricted access page which didn't update. I ended up coming off the page only to find I've got no wishlist and there was a seemingly infinite number of people ahead in the queue. Do we think Selfridges just worked on getting rid of the wishlist hack rather than deal with the bots?

I’m 64,000 in the queue. It has gone down by 200 in 7 minutes. On my other phone my wish list has disappeared and there are errors logging in. Got no chance! I’m actually heading to London and wondering if any point going to store …

Mines not moving 😞

Yes, I think they got wise to the wishlist workaround so removed it.

Yes I think so. But I have quite a lot of the kids Christmas items in my wish list so I sincerely hope they’ve not deleted them!

yep wishlist not working

I think you might be right.

I think it has sold out as website search brings it up as more stock coming soon

How many did they restock?

I’m 40k in queue which is 100k better than last time but whole site is down and they’ve obvs sold the vast majority to bots. I think you’ll be able to pick one up from eBay as it’ll be flooded and prices will come right down, especially with news about poor packaging etc

I’ve just seen that too. 🙄

i heard 3000 stock on twitter, but cant be sure

I heard 3000 but who knows. Certainly not enough.

Did they not realise the wishlist hack was the only way real customers managed to get one! Oh, Sefridges....

My queue has only gone down by 600, so I’m fairly sure these aren’t real numbers!

Now the wishlist works to say it’s out of stock!!!

A PP said to hold horses on buying from ebay/vinted and starve off the bot sellers and I agree with the idea.

Mine too

I'm annoyed on all your behalf just reading this 😡 I think we should all just buy HN's FAC instead if Selfridges treat their customers so poorly that they don't care about bots making it impossible for genuine customers.

Like others my whole wishlist has disappeared. I also can’t load my existing basket, which is also frustrating.

yeah that’s a sensible idea …
