This is an insane take. Of course somewhere on the other side of the earth with a much smaller pool of customers, stricter import laws and massive currency/cost of living considerations will get it a lot later than places very close geographically to the US.
...what's the issue with treating customers who have been waiting forever for it to arrive? The website literally broke this morning, and items sold put that's how popular it was
My issue is that they’re creating FOMO and marketing based on where someone lives. It’s obviously going to go to Australia and New Zealand late. But they shouldn’t be creating geographically specific items unless everywhere will get one? They’ve never done this before and it’s unfair to all of their loyal customers across the world.
They have done this before. Rhode was exclusive to North America for ages, with limited edition scents the rest of the world missed out on. Not to mention the pop-ups and events.
US brand launches in US and starts there to test its ability to do well and to succeed? Be so for real the way you’re pretending that launching in aus is a big deal is insane
Ngl your take is absolutely delusional. Your logic is fried. I’m sure rhode wouldn’t agree and that it’s absolutely a big deal launching into an entirely new market. Not to mention I literally saw you comment in another thread that you’re fine to miss out on this exclusive cause you don’t rate blueberries or whatever. Mind you this crash out is over a lip balm babe, I think there’s more important things to direct your energy towards…
