The MAC counter at Debenhams, Chester, UK does accept depots. Or does when I'm there! They never really look at the returns, just count it's 6 and that's it.

My first thought was that I don't want to "out" my store because what if it isn't within policy, and they get a call to stop??

I'm going to try the Mac Store in Sacramento CA tomorrow. I'll let everyone know how it goes. I'm hoping to get some new e/s.

Update 1/21-everything went well. Picked up 3 shadows and a plushglass.

Any experience with the Houston, TX Rice Village store? I'm going to try tomorrow. I've just started depoting but all the times I have B2M'd I never recall them looking at the products. They count 6 and throw them in the bin so we will see.

for sure the MAC store in the Galleria does not accept depots without the metal tin...grrrrr i had like 12 of them and ended up throwing them out because they would not accept without the tin only to move back to chicago and find out the Macy's on State Street DOES take them without the metal tin!!!!

When i lived the in Houston the rice village store would NOT take them back without the metal but you can always try!

The following 2 stores do NOT take: Plaza Bonita and Fashion Valley, San Diego...actually, it may depend on the MA at both places, but management does not allow when present.

Two weeks ago I B2M'd @ Fashion Valley w/o the tins. I called ahead and they said it was fine as long as I understood I could not bring the empty pan in as a B2M later. When I went to the store the MA was hesitant to do it, but explained that I had called ahead, so she accepted them.

They are super strict about not taking depots there. They have been for a year or so. Maybe they felt bad about someone giving you the wrong info. The Macy's by me (grossmont) is not taking depots anymore, and the nordies at UTC won't give you the box for the lipstick. Someone else mentioned plaza bonita won't accept depots either. Makes me sad

Anyone know anywhere in San Diego that will accept them (and let u keep the box)?

You were lucky then for sure! I was there last weekend, and it was a complete no, all around. The manager and the associate were like absolutely not. So like I said, I guess it depends on who. At Plaza Bonita, the MA was very willing to do it but her manager stopped her in the middle of the process.

But again, if the manager wasn't present or if it was a different MA, maybe it would've worked.

I don't see what difference it'll make. If MAC were to read this thread and stop the B2M'ing of pots minus pans then they'd send a memo to all branches, not just yours.

Can anybody vouch for NY stores and counters please?
