    😡I find it really disgusting that they are literally selling a $59 product for $300. I was just on Mercari today. It’s gross. Because they are taking away the chance of someone going in their store and finding it just so they can jack up the price five or six times what it’s worth😡

    Having to "fight" for them is definitely taking the fun out of it. The resellers are buying up everything. They call, they shop in person and online. I'm definitely not buying anything from them. I don't think Bath & Bodyworks is handling this release very well. They didn't even have all the stuff in the collection at the store I was at. I was lucky to get a globe. And I was 3rd in line. I love Halloween, and I hope they do restock and give people a chance to get some of this stuff at a decent price.

    As a huge Halloween person I was so excited for this collection, since it’s July I thought the hype for spooky decor wouldn’t be crazy, I was clearly very wrong. But oh my- when I finally found the water globe the cashier asked me “you’re not just going to resell this right”, I nodded no and they proceeded to explain how they got attacked when they opened the store by a mob of resellers fighting each other for everything. The water globe I got was one an employee was going to buy but left behind, it was a bit scratched but it’s better than nothing. The resellers are trying to take advantage of us, it’s exactly like the whole Rae Dunn situation, and if people buy from them they’ll keep doing it.

    I got the clear glass skull and black cat online and got the butler, crooked gold-drip candelabra and spider web metal holder at my local BBW. I had the monster in my hands but it had some damage- for $59 I did not want it that bad. There were at least 10 water globes on display. The items I picked up in store were after work and just lucky they were replenishing the display. I like everything and they look so cool and fun together. BBW did a great job with the Halloween decor items this year.

    I ended up calling customer service because as you know, I was already sooo upset over them cancelling the hands from my order FOUR days after confirming them multiple times via email...but THEN to top it all off, the rest of my order arrived today, and it was literally like I had dumpster dived for it!!!😱 The boxes were completely saturated, collapsed, broken glass falling out of the boxes when I picked it up...I cut myself taking pictures of the disaster...ALL of my single wicks were shattered - zero bubble wrap used, a couple 3-wicks broken, the labels of almost everything were destroyed from all the soap & hand spray leakage, and glass scratching...half the soaps, and AB spray were actually open and empty with broken pumps...AND several items were just MISSING altogether - she even verified all tracking & that's all that was sent-no more coming! I was in shock- nearly cried...The CSA was AMAZING though & went above and beyond to make it right!!! She said she was shocked I actually got my maid pedestal (luckily it was in its own entirely separate securely packaged box🙏😅) cause ALL day she's been getting complaint calls about these cancelled items! I did vent a bit then, mainly just asking in frustration WHY do they confirm items via email that aren't actually available?? She explained the website doesn't update real time, and its total count is stores & the warehouses, so when it comes time to pack our orders the inventory just isn't there...or something like that. Made sense I guess, but you would think they'd do some serious restructuring after this fiasco!!! She was so nice & funny...and even got me laughing at least...saying "Oooo these resellers gonna get theirs for all this fraud, like the Lysol ladies at start of Covid"🤣 I'm slowly accepting that I'm probably just not going to get the witch hands, because I REFUSE to pay these prices that I swear are getting even higher every time I check!😤

    @talesofnightmares13 3 года назад +2

    i was talking to the manager at my local bath and body works today and we both agreed that this is crazy and that they really should have sent more to the stores then just two of each item. What i think they should do is open a pre sale and put a cut off date on it so that people can actually have a chance and so that they know how many items they need to make. I don't think any of us would be upset if we had to wait a little to get the item as long as it was actually guaranteed we would be getting them, it's three months out from Halloween so i don't see why they couldn't do it. So far none of the stores near me have gotten in either of the items i want yet so i'm hopeful i can still be able to get them (i'm after the woman bust and the monster). If i'm able to get them i think they'll be great editions to my library, i like to keep it spooky all year round.

I got her a blonde blue-eyed one named Abigail & she is still boxed up in perfect condition! (a collector's item) I "gave" it to her at her 1st birthday party! haha But yes- I remember the crazed parents looking for the mass-produced & less expensive ones with the rubber/plastic heads in the months before Christmas. Glad I didn't have to deal with that LOL! I have never seen BBW Halloween decor in such demand...I have a lot of stuff that I got from the last 2 years so I wasn't going to get anything this year- until I saw the hand.

    I ordered the lady bust, the hanging kitty cat and the clear light-up skull online. However, of course my lady bust was canceled due to ran out of stock. But! Today I went to the store and purchased the butler bust and the monster. When I came home my neighbor had recieved my online order which was the light-up skull and the hanging kitty cat. So, all in all I have the BUTLER, MONSTER, AND LIGHT- UP SHULL. IM DONE!...LOL

    I think Bath and Body Works knew exactly what they were doing to be honest. Halloween has always been a popular holiday but as someone who has been obsessed (and I do Mean OBSESSED) with Halloween since childhood, it’s only gotten harder the past few years. You used to be able to find even good Halloween stuff after Halloween. I remember getting some very cool vintage signs for 75%off after Halloween in 2017 and I thought I can’t believe they are still here. Now that more people work from home and tend to “stalk” social media and new releases, everything is gone before most even get a chance. Bath and Body Works should have only let people buy one of each item and/or been ready with much more product. They have people who study social media and trends. They knew the demand would be outrageous. Perhaps the most depressing thing is the up-sellers. They take advantage of what people really desire and then don’t just aim for a profit, they aim to make 5 times or more the items value. I wish companies could mark items with barcodes that as soon as you buy it, you are prohibited from ever selling it on a public platform. I got the “male” bust and the hand and supposedly the “female” bust has shipped. But I went thru H*ll to get the first two. I had to ask off early from work and drive to 5 different stores. It’s kinda of sad that a customer would have to do that in July for Halloween merchandise.

Hopefully that is the case and more will be released soon or closer to Halloween, but I’m hoping BBW picked up on this trend and is planning accordingly. Also I didn’t like the bust pedestals much before, but I’m coming around to them esp the butler, I’d love to see what it looks like with a candle actually on top. I was able to get the tilted pedestal & glad I did because that’s off the site now too. The next at the top of my list is the bat candle holder, it’s so cute.

    It seems like the resellers have really zeroed in Halloween the past few years, as Halloween popularity dramatically picked up.
    Do NOT buy from resellers!
    Where I live the resellers work in a group and have a handful of people circling all of the stores and clearing anything they see. They are rude and pushy, grabbing things off carts before they even hit the shelves.
    The employees (Target, TJMaxx, etc.) have told me horror stories and feel like the store policies don't allow them to limit or prevent it. This situation puts many of them in incredibly uncomfortable positions that can make their jobs extra stressful.
    These resellers are only looking out for themselves and I think it's just extremely selfish behavior.
    I was super lucky to get a witch hand and tuxedo 3 wick (butler) and I'm so incredibly thankful. It was sheer luck and timing, though my local store has the nicest, sweetest employees. These will be year round display pieces in our house.
    Best of luck in your hunt. I really hope they restock or bring them back next year as they did with the plug in that projects the witch from last year, it is available online now.
