Only one NM location got a shipment of m/l caramel flap today per my SA, and it was a store that does a lottery system for new stock. A certain PS account (who also used to be just a ”part time handbag collector, Full time mama ” on her regular Instagram account) immediately posted that she had “managed to get one more.” If we can put our heads together and figure out which store that is, we can report her and maybe get her kicked off of future waitlists.
My store got 3 .. but I don't think there was a lottery system? I had no profile before or purchased anything from Chanel. I believe I called a week before the collection came out to put my name on the waitlist but they told me upfront I was #4. At that point I thought I probably would not be able to buy the bag haha. My NM is in California - Bay Area.
 
It is very frustrating to see PS and resellers selling at premium price when they are the main reason why people can’t get hold of bags anyway. They are the ones who hoard the bags!! My SA put me on waiting list for the brown rect mini but she said “elite” clients get first dibs. And by “elite” meaning customers who buy bags every season. Wild guess who those people are?? PS and resellers!!! They end up having a good buying profile coz they buy every season so they always get hard to get items and then sell for outrageous profits.

I was just thinking this myself!! It's so unfair that they can keep getting the first crack at everything because they buy so much when it's not even for them, and meanwhile those of us who are honest consumers end up scrambling and busting our behinds to try to find what we're looking for. What chance do we even stand if they're getting pushed to the top of very every list for being "good customers"? It almost makes me wish the lottery system were more common--I hate it because if I ever were to become a super big spender I know I'd want to be rewarded for my business, but it's just not right to have so many people abusing the current system. :mad: I don't buy from PS/resellers anyway because I don't trust anyone but SAs not to send me a fake, but what sucks is that as long as there are desperate people out there willing to buy from them the system will just stay rigged.
