With all the speculation about Mirior, I thought I would remind everyone waitlist are very subjective and not a guarentee.
When the supply is plentiful (ie: groom) they will call you and let you know items are in and give you 3 days to come and look at the items.
When it is very limited (ie mirior), the only way to be sure you are going to get it is authorize an immediate charge to your CC.
Every store has a wait list specialist, usually a very senior staff member and what he/or she says goes. The higher the rank SA, the more 'pull' they have.
The first time I came to realize the list was so subjective, was last March...I was leaving the country for over 2 months...I ordered the luggage clip, that works with the older pegase, I had lost mine, when I went to pick it up, they gave it me free...my first freebie...I had never met the SA who brought it out from the back for me, I casually asked about the manhattan gm...she brought out the list...it then stood at 158, and the SA estimated 6 -8 months!!! I laughed and said so much for getting it for my trip...as I was walking out one of my regular SAs was returning from lunch...we stopped and chatted, about my trip, etc...I mentioned I was dissappointed I would not be able to get the manhattan...she asked when I was leaving, I said about 10 days...she said no problem, I can get you one by then...it took me back for a moment, and mumbled, that's ok, I don't know if I will be able to get back to the store...she said, 'hang on..' about 3 minutes later she came back and practically sang....'I have one for you'...from 158 and 6-8 months to walking out of the store with it!
