Ok after reading loads of posts from USA chat ive realised that it depends on the store on what is accepted for B2M?

So, has anyone in London tried to return an e/s pot WITHOUT the metal pan (in other words depotted)? If so, which store?

thanks!

Yep I've done it in the Pro Store (Carnaby St area) when it was in the temp location just round the corner.

I was there on Saturday and a girl had empties including e/s containers but they didn't check them....

To be honest I don't think they're too bothered over here.

i'm going to london on tuesday shopping (yay!) and i just wondered if anyone has taken any depots there to b2m? i have enough for 2 lipsticks and i reaaaaally want fleshpot, so as its a pro colour i'm gonna try and b2m it there! anybody tried?

There was a thread on this recently....

I have, and from my experiences and observations they don't really check the insides of the pots. I get the impression it's not an issue that has surfaced here like it has overseas.

oops... i'm so lazy when it comes to searching for threads!

yeah thats what i thought... as far as i'm aware i haven't read anybody from the uk having problems b2m'ing depots. every time i've gone they haven't checked them either! hmm i hope it'll be ok. i suppose all they can say is no. i just REALLY want fleshpot!!

I took back enough for 4 lippies and they were fine about it. Didn't even check really!

vocaltest · 07-22-2008, 06:53 PM #7 (**permalink**)

so i went and forgot my empties didn't i? no fleshpot for me! boo @ life.

Oh no!! That's a real shame!! After all that...for you to forget!!

For some reason I'm under the impression you can also get eyeshadows aswell as lipsticks through Back to MAC at the Soho store.

Is this true or am I just imagining it?

Not that I am aware of. as far as i know that policy is only available in US freestanding stores... you can b2m for an eyeshadow, lipstick, or lipgloss there.

I B2M at the croydon house of fraser and they didnt check either

Miss Lore · 01-19-2009, 09:00 AM #12 (**permalink**)

carnaby street are fine with depotted shadows

ilovegreen · 01-19-2009, 09:12 AM #13 (**permalink**)

I've done it in Selfridges and the Chelsea stores and no problems.

amber_j · 01-20-2009, 03:21 PM #14 (**permalink**)

I think it's fine at all locations. I've asked MAs at the Soho Pro and Covent Garden stores if they accept e/s pots without the metal pan, and they've always said yes. Don't think they really care over here to be honest.

Can anyone confirm for me if I can B2M glass items (e.g. foundation bottles, Fluidline jars) in the UK? We can't in New Zealand and as I'm going over I'm wondering if it's worth taking the empty glass I've accumulated over with me.

Cheers

vocaltest · 02-14-2009, 01:20 PM #16 (**permalink**)

yep you can

anita22 · 02-14-2009, 03:39 PM #17 (**permalink**)

woohoo excellent :-) thanks!

We don't have B2M in Sweden (boo!) so I'm thinking about sending my empties with my sister when she visits London next time. Does anyone know if the pro store or any of the MAC counters in central London accepts depotted eyeshadow pots without the metal pan as B2M's?

Thanks!

Blushbaby · 03-08-2009, 09:13 PM #19 (**permalink**)

The Pro store, freestanding store in Covent Garden and Selfridges counter all accept them without the pans.

Purity · 03-09-2009, 07:40 AM #20 (**permalink**)

Yay, thanks!

Can you B2M for both eyeshadow pro pans and eyeshadow pots at the pro store?

Blushbaby · 03-09-2009, 09:38 AM #21 (**permalink**)

Hmmm THAT I'm not sure of.

sweets4 · 03-09-2009, 01:24 PM #22 (**permalink**)

In the UK or the Greater London area, only allows you to B2M for lipsticks (excluding viva glam stuff) which IMO doesnt make sense, as an eyeshadow is cheaper therefore saving MAC more money, but what do I know.
also the House of Fraisers let you just do the pot, not the pan are anything difficult.

Purity · 03-09-2009, 04:32 PM #23 (**permalink**)

sweets4: Only B2M for lipsticks at the pro store aswell?

Blushbaby · 03-09-2009, 06:45 PM #24 (**permalink**)

Oh I thought you were asking if you could use e/s pro PANS as well as pots to B2M with in London.

You can only get the perm and slimshine lippies as a B2M item (same goes for the Pro store too).

I wish MAC would just have the same flippin B2M rules worldwide cos it pisses me off how I can get lipsticks, e/s or lipglasses stateside and I'm restricted to only lippies here in England. Grrrr!

MAC sort it out!

Purity · 03-09-2009, 06:57 PM #25 (**permalink**)

Ah, thanks for sorting that out! Sucks that you can't get eyeshadows

I might send my B2M's with a friend going to the US instead then... Allthough, lipsticks are better than nothing because we don't have B2M at all here in Sweden!
