OMG.....San Francisco pro store takes depots? i plan on going there in 3 weeks. i usually go to freestanding store in berkley for everything mac but i want some pro shadows....

Just wondering...

Thanks!

I've done it. Works really well. And MAC took the containers back no problem even though they didn't quite close right anymore because of the cuts.

yes, they do i lived there all summer. if the pro store on union didn't take my depots i'd go to fillmore. if you go to pro, look for morgan or leili. at fillmore look for hailey or edgar! good luck

According to UPS, MAC received my empties on September 17, exactly a week ago today.

I'll answer my own question: If my first Back to MAC by mail is typical, it takes two to three weeks.
I sent off my empties (from Dallas) to MAC via UPS on September 13.
MAC received the package on September 17, shipped out my freebie on September 24, and it's scheduled for delivery to me today, September 30.
I returned two Lustrewhite lipglosses that were way past their prime, an almost-used-up tube of Bare Canvas Paint tube, a Satin Taupe that had shattered, and a couple of rapidly deteriorating Carbon eyeshadows.
I requested Lickable lipstick. That one looked appealing to me, but since I already have soo many bright pinks, I made myself wait until I could get it through the Back to MAC program. This way, maybe I won't feel quite so foolish if it turns out to look just like shades I already own.
