Tales from the Sale- Share your stories, your hauls and your thoughts about the annual 20% off deal
Well, the 2015 annual 20% off sale is underway for VIB Rouge shoppers. We had events at stores here in Canada and despite the fact that I RSVP'd within a few hours of getting my invite, I was put on a wait list for the even and never heard from them again.
I was up late last night (Thanks, insomnia!) and went online pretty much as the sale started, just in time to see a number of things suddenly showing as "out of stock". I noticed that the Burberry holiday products, while they're still listed on the product page, show as "items we no longer carry". Funny how three minutes before the sale started, I was able to put both in my basket.
There are a lot of things that have been out of stock for a while and remain so for the sale, particularly from some new and online only brands.
It's a lot of work, but Sephora is a big company and these sorts of inventory issues around an established annual event make them look bad.
That said, my order went through, no problem and despite the fact that there's a warning message that processing could take longer than usual due to the volume, my order is already listed as shipped. We'll see whether my smaller-than-planned haul is enough to sate my appetite.
