...purchased my cream shadows on Thursday It's Monday, still no shipping notice. Why is this taking so long? They have already taken the money from my account, it's no longer pending, the cash has been withdrawn! Wtf? Can a company officially take your funds when an item hasn't even shipped yet?!

With CT online, I never got a shipping notice!! After a while I checked my order status and online and the tracking was updated there!!

Exactly! I have an insider story/information about that.

I was privy to some inside Nordies info from very high up that they are not happy with MAC & their "business model" of "unavailable product" - not having sufficient enough product "intentionally" for customers to purchase. Nordies viewpoint is that if customers want a specific beauty product, than Nordies wants to be able to make it available - period.

Wow!!!! I don't blame Nordies---it reflects poorly on them-----they've had to deal w/angry, disappointed MAC
customers. Enough is enough! MAC needs to feel the sting of customers jumping ship and buying other brands,
and their product sellers like Nordies taking a stand against their ridiculous business practices.

I've not had good experience w/CT online. I love the products but I purchase from other sellers. If you're
subscribed on their site, you should be able to find an update online via your account.

I got my shipping notice late on Friday and I received them on Saturday around noon. The address I saw is in London, do they have a warehouse in the US? I've noticed that all the companies take the money before the order is shipped, some of them don't even check if they have the product in stock and then they refund you.

My experience is that there's an initial transaction when an order is placed, to assure one has the funds (like a hold) and the actual charge is not processed until the item ships.

:wavey: hi mkoparanova! They have a US warehouse in New York I believe. It has been my experience here in the US, that companies with hold the money while your transactions are being finalized. On the bank statements, it usually says "pending" when a transaction hasn't finalized. They usually don't take the cash officially until the item has shipped. Happy you got your things!

I've never seen a pending transaction on my statements but now that I think about it, the money does decrease but the transaction doesn't appear in my statement until the package has been shipped.
I hope you get your things soon! I should've ordered Jean

My opinion to this person from Nordies Corporate was that EL nor MAC seems to care that this has been an on-going complaint from customers for quite awhile & neither has adjusted their business model according to the customer. He said that talking with me was in such good timing and it confirmed the issue that they, Nordies were in dialog with MAC about.

How would you describe this shade? I googled it & the lip pics & swatches were kind of all over the map. Is it a rose mauve nude?
Its more like a brownish berry shade!! Its really lovely in person!!
Compared to some mauve and berry shades, its still really different!!
