Oh man, I haven't ordered from ABH in a while. The last time I did was back in 2014 and I don't remember being charged for duties. I've been hesitant to purchase from ABH and off any US site the past few years because of the exchange rate (CAD to USD). Just couldn't resist the 60% off shadows. Whelp, better mentally and financially get ready to get hit by these duties.
Our exchange sucks. I want a couple glow kits and some eyeshadows and so hollywood =/ I don't know what to do lol
Totally in the same boat as you 😞 It's such a good deal but shipping plus duties are holding me back
When you stay up to place a Black Friday order, feel really good about saving money, then see the product on another site two minutes later that offered a better deal...
Ugh. That's always my fear. Often you gotta be fast to get a deal but then there is always the risk you'll find it elsewhere for cheaper. Any way you can return the first one?
I could return the first one, but it's a hassle. Plus, now I've waited too long and the site that had the better discount has the product oos. I just have to live with the regret, unfortunately 😞
I was holding off purchasing the Nars Sarah Moon set containing the Audacious lipsticks in Cody and Eva until Black Friday so I could receive the Nars dot com discount only to see that Sarah Moon products are excluded from any discounting.
@Loretta55 Yes, this was so disappointing! I've been waiting for this sale to pick up the last few items in the collection that I had my eye on. 😕 I went ahead and got them though, feeling pretty excited about it!
@vegchililover78 I am also going to purchase them but it was disappointing that I would not be able to purchase them at 20% off. My wallet is not happy with me today.
@Loretta55 I was disappointed as well 😞 I did however get the discount to work on the sarah moon matte lipstick, which is interesting...
Looks like Sephora.ca finally got around to charging $2 for the gift satchel, just in time for the holidays. I'm annoyed, but I guess I should be happy that the free satchel lasted as long as it did.
I noticed that too! I was late in realizing that the gift bag was free at first but still managed to grab a few before they started to charge for it!
My phone broke, so I tried ordering a new one online, only to get flagged as fraudulent transaction and I can fix it by--calling! Agghhh!
They won't flag my online makeup and skincare purchases (multiple orders in one day) and sometimes, that one day of shopping is even more expensive than the phone I'm getting. 😕
Holiday themed peeve - you invite your in law's over for Thanksgiving and they say no to you over 2 weeks ago. Fast forward to just 5 minutes ago when my MIL asks if she can NOW come over. I'm not going to the store and we've already made plans including me sleeping in. I should say that past tense shouldn't I since I'm sure my husband's going to come in here and shame me into letting her come over. But I am NOT going to the store this late. It's cold, rainy, and crazy people are out right now.
Tell her that you have started celebrating the Canadian Thanksgiving instead, and 'oops' she missed it 😛
Oh dear...that is just a terrible situation to be in. 😞
where your needs/wants are pretty much steam rolled over
Oh no, that's so frustrating! I'm sorry. I'm sure everything will work out, but ordering pizza is always a great backup plan 😉
Sorry I left out that she wants to come over for BREAKFAST! We're not going over for Thanksgiving dinner until 5:30. So much for sleeping in as I've already been asked while she was in the phone if "is it okay" and I said "whatever" and that led to "she said it was fine" WTF?? Obviously the don't-piss-my-wife meter isn't working at the moment. I don't have anything in the house except for bagels and when I asked when is she supposed to come by I was told "she'll call ahead." Great.......
WHAT?? This is insane. The way I see it, give she invited herself with no notice, your choices are to serve her the bagels you have, or your husband goes to the store to get what is needed and prepares the breakfast, since he said they could come and they are his parents. 😛
I'm sorry you're in this situation. Let us know how it goes. Good luck.
It'll either be crappy with me bucking up and later drinking too much at dinner to try and relax or I'll be"blamed" for her not coming over since we ran out of time i.e. I didn't get back quick enough with groceries/wake up early enough. Husband is asleep and if I let him cook we'll all be sick with food poisoning - I wish I was joking!
Not to mention the house now needs cleaning. I mean my home is clean, but you always have some things to tidy before letting people in your home you know?
Oh well - at least I am blessed enough to have a warm home with food and other comforts whereas others aren't as fortunate. It's been a super stressful month (we had a co worker pass away unexpectedly among other things) and I was looking forward to relaxing since I had my schedule planned out for the weekend. I'm the type of person that freaks out when plans get interrupted - I feel like a brat for complaining as I've obviously forgotten what this holiday is about. Well off to the store since I'm awake - I think I'll make omelets.
Ugh, I'm the same way. I have my schedule planned well in advance since I'm so busy--so something like that would really throw a wrench in my planning. Sorry you have to deal with that 😞
