Thanks, my request was not approved last month. I will re-iterate my interest to my SA, fingers crossed.I don't think it's more competitive in NYC, or it's a competition at all for HP. They just haven't receive more shipment yet and from what I've been told at the NYC boutique, they've received a surprisingly small batch on launch date this year compare to last few years. With that said, they're expecting more shipments in the upcoming months (2nd batch this month). You should let the SA know and he/she can add you to the list the submit to HQ so they can have more pieces allocated to the location.
