The Black Friday and Cyber Monday sales are setting in and UPS shipping limits have been reached and shipments are now being stopped. According to news outlets UPS has stopped picking up packages from LL Bean, Hot Topic, Newegg (people still shop at Newegg??!), and Macy’s. According to the Wall Street Journal UPS workers confirmed this information and said there would be no exceptions the load was less and packages were delivered before no pick ups would happen.

One thing I noticed this year was Cyber Monday was just one day. Some stores extended by a day but more stores didn’t extend the event into a week long cyber sales event. Last year it seemed like after Cyber Monday the sales were still coming fast and furious this year not so much. I already got a shipping notice from two different places one of which was Ulta stating my packaged was delayed. They gave me a tracking number but it obviously isn’t working because the package wasn’t yet picked up by UPS. How long this shipping limit will last is anyone’s guess. Obviously, more people are shopping online due to COVID so this has really overloaded stores and of course, delivery services like UPS and Fedex. I think on the upside it’s good news that there are a lot of different shipping options available for example Sephora often useses Lasership!

I hope that they catch up on shipments soon and everyone gets their gifts on time. Until that time we may see retailers low their roll as they struggle not only what keeping their employees safe but also, having to worry about shipment delays and irate customers who aren’t always understanding about gifts not arriving in time.

Did you get any shipping delay notices?

The Sephora Dollar Savings Offer starts tomorrow, December 3rd. Use code 2020SAVE to score $25 Off $75 if you’re Rouge, $20 Off $75 if you’re VIB, and $15 Off $75 if you’re BI at sephora.com. The coupon is sadly good for one time use only but if you aren’t planning on using it for some reason there may be some good news at the end of the rainbow for you. Last year, anyone that didn’t take part in some of the sales Sephora had like the 20% Holiday Savings Event ended up getting targeted e-mails that contained 20% Off. That might still happen as we head deeper into the Holiday season! The Sephora Dollar Savings Offer is actually a better deal than 20% but sometimes there’s nothing you need when the sale starts or you haven’t gotten paid yet this month or whatever the case may be! Hopefully I am right about the targeted emails if you do plan on holding out.

I was actually not going to get anything because I sort of overindulged during Black Friday/Cyber Monday. There was a lot of one for me, one for you purchasing going on during those major sale days! Also, with this dollar discount you sort of having to plan ahead and make sure you’re not overspending. It’s only $25 off if you’re Rouge and that’s not a big, big discount if you end up spending say $200! It can happen! It’s easy to load your cart up without thinking sometimes.

I did find one item I want and that’s the only item I’m getting.
