Ba ha ha I totally forgot all about today's vault oops. Mostly everything I was interested in has been snapped up by some lucky lovelies and yesterday it wasn't meant to be as I got signed out lol. All the more points for next time so all goodies. Thanks for all the time and effort that you BR lovelies have put into this weekend xxx

Hey Shaz, that's really freaking weird. Can you please ask Jess to drop an email to [email protected] so we can figure out what the heck has happened. 

A few grems have been about... even Nat got locked out. Not bumped out. Locked out. Sigh. 

Thanks so much!

I'm back in after being kicked out, thank goodness that happened after I set the vault live.  Natalie was not at her most ladylike.

I've just force-refreshed her account (nothing more terrifying than this spam-bot thing, fine line between that and hitting the big delete on the whole profile)

Tell her she might to need reset her password and if she has trouble with the reset link (it works 50% of the time) then to drop me an email, I'm around for the foreseeable.

Also - people are getting email bounce backs, but the emails are coming through, so there's another vault oddity.  Can't get enough of them.

Don't even!  Are they wet?  Fed after midnight?  Did the sun touch them? 

42 minutes until the anxious 'what next...' is over.

the hackers or the gremlins??? lmao neither i hope. ive never seen gremlins and i can't fathom how people think they're cute... they're the stuff nightmares is made of

Jess just informed me she can log in so idk what is going on but i'm surprised the russian hackers (dunno why theyre russian) have nothing better to do than mess with a small nz beauty site hahahahahahahah

my brother named our cat gizmo back in the day. Me and Dad both declined to call it that. He called it 'Pussa' and I called it various things depending on if it was annoying me or not.

Mogwai are super cute! I'd have one. But they're high maintenance as... and if you do the wrong thing you're stuck with one heck of an evil pet.

I just watched Office Christmas Party - as much as I love Jason Bateman and Jennifer Aniston that's two hours I'll never get back.

Bring on Christmas Eve and the annual Die Hard extravaganza.

Hey guys, thanks heaps for sorting my account out! I’ve been inactive for ages on here so I thought maybe that had something to do with it. Either way it’s workig now and I’m really appreciative :)

It sounds like everyone had a great vault and I’m excited to see all of the pics on the wall. I’m also really excited about Gremlins (the film haha) - it’s my fav Xmas movie and I loved it as a kid.

i LOVE 'Love, Actually' - there's this buzzfeed thing about how bad it is for all these reasons, and i'm like....shut up and go sit in the corner, it's a masterpiece.

That's one of my favorite Christmas movies Kim. I hope everyone got something they really wanted from the vault. I sat this one out, but checked in to see what the big ticket items would be. I was secretly hoping for another mystery Lush box, lol.

I'm watching Love, Actually, all the way through, for the very first time!

the opening lines are so amazing:

"Whenever I get gloomy with the state of the world, I think about the arrivals gate at Heathrow Airport. General opinion's starting to make out that we live in a world of hatred and greed, but I don't see that. It seems to me that love is everywhere. Often, it's not particularly dignified or newsworthy, but it's always there - fathers and sons, mothers and daughters, husbands and wives, boyfriends, girlfriends, old friends. When the planes hit the Twin Towers, as far as I know, none of the phone calls from the people on board were messages of hate or revenge - they were all messages of love. If you look for it, I've got a sneaky feeling you'll find that love actually is all around.

I sat this one out this time but so happy to see so many of you get some amazing treats.

Love Actually is my ultimate favourite movie and then it is The Holiday, omg love that movie just as much. Jack Black and Kate Winslet just make the cutest couple in that movie. Actually I love them in any movie. And Jude Law Cameron Diaz are just funny he he he. Hubby is not really a romance movie watcher, he is more into blood and gore which I can't stand because I'm such a baby ha ha ha.

I haven't seen The Holiday but it looks like I'm going to have to now.... I watched What's Eating Gilbert Grape last weekend. I saw it years ago, and it was every bit as fabulous as when I watched it the first time. If anyone doesn't think Leo di Caprio is the best actor of all time, then they need to watch this movie!

Oh my goodness Marie!!! My mum and I were just talking about that movie. She randomly said ‘match in the gas tank, boom boom’ and we both cracked up. That movie was great, his acting is amazing.

My second vault order arrived just this minute - I can't believe the courier is working this late!! What a legend.

Thank you again Beauty Crew! I can't believe how quickly they've arrived, how spoilt I felt (my own doing but y'know) and I just. Thank you!! I hope you have a seriously awesome break after packing all these boxes! xoxoxox

i just got back from my first summer holiday trip (to Queenstown, was AMAZING) and guess what.... my vault #1 goodies arrived!

I took no chances - - - >

- let the crew know what to write on the package to ensure the courier actually delivered it (thanks Nat!)
- left (waterproof!!) notes in the letterbox AND on the smaller, more exposed porch saying that under no circumstances were parcels to be left in either place,  but instead......
- left a plastic box with a lid on the covered, safer porch on the other side of the house - and wrote on it in vivid, giving instructions to the courier

Lo and behold (still can't believe it!) THEY DID AS ASKED :D

fingers triple x'd that the second vault order AND the order i have coming for my niece that's already a week late both arrive tomorrow :)

thanks crew, very speedy!

I'm impressed with the courier that I used I to deliver my friend's xmas present. They actually uploaded a photo of where they had left it on to the tracking page.

tbh tannygirl i don't think this is above and beyond what they SHOULD be doing. The courier is the only person in this that did the basics, it was me and BR that went the extra mile. The courier just managed to deliver a parcel; nothing special there!

soozie yeah that's what happened when mine got stolen - they put photos up of it in the letterbox WHILE I WAS IN MY HOUSE... i think it's standard for Post Haste, not sure about others. Post haste also delivered my advent calendar and forged my signature...... he handed it to me but instead of getting me to sign he forged it. Two MASSIVE fails from Post Haste and they don't care. At all.

I used Pass the Parcel which I think is operated by Post Haste. I didn't ask for signature on delivery so was ok with that. I've caught the couriers out before forging the receptionist signature when I've had stuff delivered to work, when she hadn't even arrived at work yet. They're the bane of my life also.

Geesh, we're so lucky with the couriers here. I always get excellent service. They even put my son's certificate in an unusual but safe place because it was in a cardboard tube and they delivered it on a windy day! I've started getting some things delivered to work now though, as there's some shady characters hanging around my street that never used to be around - better to be safe than sorry.

Glad it arrived safe Trudi! I have the best courier chick...I live rural but things are delivered so fast. I am off to work so hoping my parcel is waiting for me tonight. Great job getting them out so fast ladies....that is dedication xxx

second parcel was delivered this morning, but without the note I'd requested be added even though that was handwritten on the packing slip on the inside of the box. Someone had hand written 'signature required' on the address label instead, for some reason.

The courier (was Castle today) managed to knock on the door; I was in bed but got up and he handed it to me but didn't ask for a signature. Sigh.

As always happens to me with vaults, without fail, there's an item missing. At least it's one I can live without, but I don't remember a vault where this didn't happen for me! You'd think people would have learned by now.

Thanks for how carefully these were packaged into the boxes. I am grateful for your fast work.

Oh no, Trudi! I can't believe you've had a missing item again! Hopefully mine turns up today. No sign of the courier here. The cat always freaks out and runs off when he hears them coming up the driveway, long before they knock on the door.

yeah there was a girl on FB talking about having gotten extra items in hers and then there's one missing from mine so seems a bit ..... strange (no idea if it was the same item though)....

I still did well outta the points I'd earned so it is what it is, but every SINGLE vault this happens to me and it's gotten so that i kinda expect it now, which i probably shouldn't have to!
SooziesWorld
3009 posts
Yeah I saw that too. I wonder what happened there?
trudijoy
8375 posts
side note: i know the explanation about why missing items happen, with the overselling due to people being too useless to wait until payment's processed and things. Still not 100% sure how that works as it seems like products should show as sold out when they've all been added to carts.

Anyway I don't blame the crew for that one, just isn't great that it's happened to me so many times!

not sure soozie - not sure if it was an error or something done with leftover vault stock but it seems like if it was adding goodies it would have been fairer to add them to incomplete orders?

I don't know. I'm grumpy this morning because my niece's gift, ordered Dec 1st, is stuck in the states despite delivery being 6 - 13 days. SO I need to go buy something else because of, yet again, postage/courier fails.
