After trying for about a half an hour, I was finally able to get a regular cammello/royal bucket into my cart ( I originally wanted a mini, but it sold out). While I was checking out and inputting my information, I was then kicked off the page and it showed there was no more inventory. I have heard multiple stories of this happening to others on Insta. It is frustrating because there was allegedly supposed to be a 5 minute checkout period, which turned out not to be true. This is actually the second time this has happened to me. This happened during the last launch as well. This time MG did not acknowledge that their website was glitchy and did not honor the 5 minute check-out reserve. I think that is poor service and I think I am done with this brand. They can't get their act together. I know they are a small business,but I have honestly seen small indie nail polish companies handle their restocks with better customer service and poise. To all that were successful in getting a bag, I really think it was just luck or you were going for an item that was less popular. Yes, the bags showed available for quite some time, but actually getting to the checkout process was the feat. Most of the time you would add the bag to the cart and proceed to checkout, only to get an inventory issue error message. Whoever developed their website needs to be fired.

well, I just noticed that I got the mg bag at 11:01 am.

in fact at first I was refreshing the wrong website (www.mansurgavriel.com/password) for several seconds after 11 am. Then I wasted some time in logging into my account but couldn't recall the correct username (I saved my address in their website ahead of time)...then I went back to choose guest checkout...

But I have to mention that I also saved my address in my chrome and CC number ahead of time!

Still I realized my fingers were quick enough :D

Me, too! I'll probably still get a flamma mini bucket but who knows?


I CANNOT believe how much the prices have gone up!!!
That being said...congrats to all who snagged a bag!

is it in aussie dollars?

after my failed attempt with MG, i rec'd a call from my LV SA who found a LE bag for me i had really wanted! she was so excited + happy to tell me! it sure cheered me up! perhaps MG and i will meet again in august and i will be using paypal next time!

some girl on IG under MG's sale post claimed she bought a bag around 3pm today on MG's site, strange!

congrats to everyone who got a bag, can't wait to see your pics!
 
OHH I see :( pardon my ignorance (first time purchasing from MG, I had enough with NAP).

hope everyone has better luck in August. I think Paypal is the way to go though!! really smooth and quick. but I had no choice since I am an international customer.

btw does anyone know how taxes are collected? do they collect from you when they deliver? I am afraid my helper receiving the bag at home will not have the cash at hand.

in the US they mail you a bill if you are charged - I have had items sent from abroad and never got charged, no clue why as not marked as a gift - some stores like selfridges charge when you place an order so they take care of it for you apparently...i would hope for the high MG Int'l shipping charge that you would be covered but def confirm w/MG and see what they say - congrats!
 
i was too! as soon as it launched, i went straight to what i wanted put in cart, went to check out then sudden gone i did this over and over again, there is no way possible i could have been any quicker as i had it in cart at 11:00 too!

i was going for a mini mini in rosa tumble

so bummed, looked on IG and people are furious! it seems paypal was the way to go i guess so i bet they got a lot of international orders as they were told to use if they lived outside of US :shucks:

i really hope most of you got what you wanted!

i guess i am off to ebay to look at LV epi noe bags to make me feel better, they are less pre-loved than MG and really nice too! anyone want to join me? haha! :D


I'll be there with you.....pre-loved LV.......HERE I COME! I am far too old to re-do the "it bag" waiting list dance...... I remember that from years ago..... I was looking for a good quality bag at a reasonable price. I thought MG was it, but when I hear "price increases" and "pre-order waiting lists"........this is not my first rodeo!!! I tap out.....been there, done that with LV, Balenciaga etc.

Best of luck to all!!
 
Anyone got more than 1 bag from MG launches? Just wanted to ask if all their boxes are of the same size? Ie, is the box for a mini mini the same size as one for a large tote? That might be the reason for the crazy international shipping fees..
 
Didn't even bother to attempt the launch this time. I'd have had to get up at 1am for it and I knew they changed an unreasonably high postage cost to where I am so didn't bother.
Glad I didn't after seeing the rants on Facebook and instagram. Seems like even with a time the launch was still as bad as always (if not worse because there was more people sitting online at the right time!)

Size of the box shouldn't matter, plenty of other stores charge nothing to ship internationally in boxes or a small fee. Their costs are just ridiculous.

It IS Aussie dollars...sorry about the confusion and relieved at the same time! [emoji5]️
Congrats on your new LV...was meant to be!

IKR, shipping to the UK is 100usd without taxes! What if someone buys just 1 pouch, are they going to charge 100usd for shipping too? It's just not worth it.
 
hi! i have bought a MINI and a MINI MINI in the past and the MINI MINI box is smaller for sure, but still pretty big at approx. 12" square, and pretty deep as well. however the weight is SUPER LIGHT.
