Yankee Candles TSV 09/01/17

[SUPERCOOLWILLOW]

the next Yankee Candles TSV is on the 09/01/17

[Mazza]

Mine arrived yesterday. A quick sniff and I was unimpressed, two of them seemed to have very little scent. I am sending back, as I had forgotten the AD and I have Yankee candles coming out of my ear holes so can't justify keeping, even if I liked them. Used to be I'd say oh it's only 30 odd quid can't be bothered but I'm not going to do that any more, it soon adds up !

Thanks for the update. I rang Q and there seems to have been a problem (NO!!??!!) and not enough stock delivered. They are looking into it so maybe it will just be delayed.

Fortunately the candle cupboard was not affected by the water!!! Nor the storage bags. There isn't too much damage in the grand scheme of things but it doesn't take much to stress me out and this has certainly done that! I feel very tense with a resulting increase in alcohol and fags consumption. If the YC stock had gone I would probably be an alcoholic by now! Thanks so much for your good wishes.

I hear ya! I hate anything where there is an 'unknown' factor and where I can't control the outcome - I feel for you, but glad to hear the overall damage is relatively minimal. As for the booze n fags, I say use whatever coping mechanisms work!!!!

Still no sign of mine being processed. I checked on their FB page and it has been raised as a query.... amazingly I could open up the comments for once. Several people are in the same boat. It was also raised on Twitter with Rosa who said she had checked with YC and so far as they were aware all orders had been satisfied, ahem. People put her right so she said she would pass it on. Rumour has it they have stock in for single drop orders but need to get more sent over to meet the AD orders. Only at Q could that happen! Put customers who have placed an order at the back of the queue but this wouldn't be the first time. I am not too worried about these, given the stash size, but I would still like to have them.

Darn it, I want to hear your 'cold sniff' analysis of this drop as I thought this would be my fave of the 4 (this is the Autumnal one, right?) - hope you get them soon as judging by the FB post on Q's page, a lot of people have received their ADs already. Usual magnificent 'p*ss-up/brewery' scenario from Q ;)

Me too! I'm already looking out for two of them on eBay but the cheapest are selling for £20+. Hopefully the Yankee UK site will have a good sale on them later in the year.

[Mazza]

These are the US scents though, so will they be available, and cheap, elsewhere?

[Mazza]

They have been despatched! Currently at the National hub; I hope they don't deliver on Mondaynas I am out some of the day. I even got a courtesy call on Friday to let me know!!! I was shocked. Someone had raised the matter quite forcefully with Q on Twitter and with Rosa, so well done him. He was jolly miffed, but I just remembered the same thing happening last year..... I hope the UK scents come on schedule.

Come on, Mazza - why the urgency? We all know you won't be lighting any of these candles until 2020 at least.



(I'm just jealous)

I have got my 2020 bag ready, Andi. They are with the courier for delivery today. Luckily I am in as I was due to visit a friend but there is rail chaos out of Waterloo today after a massive signal failure, so I had to reschedule my outing. (ANd before anyone says anything, yes that is genuine, not an excuse to be here to take custody of my candles, LOL)

I have just had a browse on WAx Addicts and they are campaigning for the return of Steven!!! A proper big page under the Q tab.. And it has been picked up on the limited amount of Twitter I can see or have looked at anyway.

I will let you know what I think when I get them. It will be a VERY cold sniff as it is perishing here today so the candles will be extremely chilled I imagine.

[Mazza]

They haven't come yet!!!!! I always get a late morning or early afternoon delivery so wonder what is going on.....
