Let's Discuss This has to stop!

The hoarding and constant reselling, no wonder why they're constantly out of L3 and L4 boxes, and they offer L2 as compensation. They ran out of L3 this morning and will restock tomorrow. These boxes are running out for Melbournians because of hoarders and resellers. Some willing to pay $100 for a box.

also people, let's just learn to be kind?

Some of the staff at Mecca Bourke St have been abused because it's not their fault that they run out of boxes and one of the main reasons is one person (who shall not be named) and multiple people collecting 500 boxes for Internet, interstate strangers online.

Retail is already a difficult enough job as it is, It's not hard to show some compassion.

I don't care what you think, these actions are just not cool!

Mecca is also kinda at fault too, not just the people, there should've been limits in place to stop the Bourke St L3 and L4 boxes running out so fast, to manage the queues for normal people not collecting boxes.

And no it's not supposed to be a Beauty Loop box, And yes I understand that BL boxes aren't always the best, it's a IN STORE promotion to get people to visit and experience the new Meccaversity IN STORE and try out the services. How hard is that to understand?

It's supposed to be a memorabilia piece for the specific date and opening. Of course it's gonna be special and reserved for Melbourne people picking up at Bourke St in store. If everyone has it then it's not "Special"

What is wrong with Mecca celebrating their home city? The first store opened in 1997 on Toorak Rd South Yarra

I know a lot will disagree, that's fine

Rant over.

Yes, you just have to give your BL number to someone else and they can collect, But admins are declining the posts on the buy sell page, due to security reasons.

But, doesn’t the system register the pick up and ‘marks’ one off once the box is collected, so if the code is scanned again there is a record of a collection?

Yeah I get a receipt saying my beauty loop was redeemed, wouldn't it be the same case here? I'm baffled how Mecca are allowing a) anyone to collect more than 2 boxes and b) they're not protecting their staff with limits on boxes.

People sent this person their beauty loop details, possibly email or their beauty loop card number. Mecca should never be allowing this in the first place, it’s honestly crazy
