MAC Objects of Affection Help

StripedBoxers

Hi all

I need to get two sets from this collection for Xmas presents. The sets I am looking for are the Bronze Glitter Pigment and the Gold Beige Pigment set.

I phoned brown thomas and they advised me that I could place a mail order with MAC and pay over the phone on Monday however when I rang back the second time they advised that they only take credit card over the phone and not VISA debit card. I don't have a credit card only a VISA debit card so can't get them and I won't be near a brown thomas store anytime soon unfortunately.

I can't find them anywhere online at all, everywhere is sold out of them. I've tried the usual places, Debenhams UK, House of Fraser, maccosmetics.co.uk, BTs, etc.

Does anyone know of anywhere else that might be selling them where I can order online or over the phone?

Thanks in advance for any help

The only thing I can suggest is one of those top-up credit cards you can get then you can order it direct from MAC.

Unfortunately they are sold out in the UK and Ireland, absolutely nowhere has them in stock and they won't be getting them back in stock.

Is anyone here selling or looking to sell either one or both of these sets by any chance?

If you are just giving the card number over the phone do they know if it is a debit vs. credit card?

You can no longer order over the phone with MAC, you have to do a mail order via email and they ring you for card details and specifically ask you whether it's a debit or credit card.

My bf has a skrill mastercard and they said they couldn't accept it because its issued by Skrill.

This is only with MAC though, all other brands sold in BT/BT2 accept all credit/debit cards.

Can imagine they will lose many sales with this idea of only accepting credit cards, and not even all credit cards.

I've found a number for MAC UK who do mail orders and take all cards, so I'm going to phone them on Monday morning and hopefully I'll strike lucky and be able to order both sets with them.

Find it really weird they don't accept Visa debit I've ordered plenty of stuff online where it claims they "only accept credit cards". If they say they accept Visa, you should be able to pay with your Visa debit card with no issues as it's not a Laser/regular debit card.

I finally got the bronze set from the Cork store and they took payment from a VISA debit over the phone with no issues.

Don't know why BTs on Grafton St wouldn't do it needed to have a rigmarole over it all to be honest, it makes no sense whatsoever.
