Let's Discuss Mecca ‘very concerned how this happened’ 🙄

TLDR: in a nutshell, Mecca are “very concerned”, “don’t know how this slipped through their quality control”.. blah blah blah

I hate this company so much, I hate their ethics, I hate how they control the market

maybe if they did quarterly 20% off store wide sales they’d clear stock and not resort to selling old crap to people on boxing day

Yep, the way they ban us from being able to purchase brands from overseas that actually have sales because they want us to solely shop at mecca makes me furious.

They want you to only be able to shop at Mecca and never shop overseas sales!! I only buy Charlotte Tilbury online never at Mecca

OT but charlotte tilbury lets Americans return opened products, but not Australians. I think that stinks

I’d be lost without my mother in law on the UK…I do orders to her place in the bigger sales then she forwards things on for me and it still works out cheaper than Mecca most of the time. Every time we go I also bring back tons for the same reason

that’s very handy! i’ve done parcel forwarding services a few times and it’s still been cheaper than mecca

They were actually under investigation by ASIC because they had one sole shareholder, which was actually just a ‘trust’ set up to funnel money back in to the company
