At this point, I’m just trying to complete the order because I have nothing else going on this morning. I’ve gotten an error message each and every time I’ve tried to submit the order. ☹️

No one can ever say I’m a quitter! It took 12 attempts, but my order has been placed. It’s a Christmas miracle.
I picked up:
Sea Salt & Linen Cinnamon Caramel Swirl Fresh Balsam Salted Caramel Eggnog Chocolate Grahams (hoping this is similar to their Hot Cocoa one) Merry Cookie

I think the trick is allow each page to completely load. If you try to click through too quickly it crashes. It would take up to a minute to completely load and then I’d click through. Finally that worked!

Ruh-roh...I timed out 3 times and never placed the order through PayPal. I just got an order confirmation for 1 order. Any guesses on if I get 2 more? And how to go about canceling if I do? Oops! I had that happen with another site last night. Fortunately it was only for $11.00 each!!

That's it. On ignore you go! I can't heaaaar you! Actually, I'm still pouting, because BBW had the only shampoo I've ever used that made my hair silky and soft and right after I discovered it they discontinued it. Argh. I'm still salty. Looks like a trip to their website is in order. I got my yearly order in, and thankfully got all the scents I wanted. I only do this once per year and they've so far lasted pretty well through the year. I do still have one balsam left from last year's order that I just started using about a week ago. And I still have 1/2 of a "Cozy Winter Cabin" - a scent I tried for the first time in last year's bunch and found I don't really care for it. (Didn't buy that one again.) I had bought one of the "Black Tie" last year on a whim, but didn't use it until a few months ago. Turns out I really like that scent - it's subtle and a little different from my usual go-to scents. This year I got 2, but the candle design/wrap isn't as pretty. Last year's was very elegant-looking and this year's is...not. They've added some new candle scents from some of the customer favorite/best-selling lotion & soap scents, so I was able to get a few of those, along with some old favorites. Looking forward to the arrival of my candles (but not my CC statement, LOL)!! Thanks elaine , you enabler you! (Who am I kidding? I was going to buy anyway. Hey! I’ve been relatively good this year about limiting my enabling! 😂 This sale is something the peas have been asking about for the past month or more, so I’m not sure that this one even counts. 😜You've been a very good girl this year. I also must admit that when you enable it's a good thing, because you know where to get deals on the good stuff.

Last time I went to my local store to do the candle sale they weren't doing it. Apparently each store gets to choose if they participate or not. So I missed out on the online store sale, and then of course no in store sale. So I learned my lesson, and just order online from now on. It doesn't really encourage me to use my local store much. I went in and smelled candles last wk, and they had a sale, and I was like, yea, but it's not as good as the one in dec, and they were like, well you won't get all the scents you want. I told them I was ok with that, the price made it worth it. It's their lose.

YAY! Love the candle sale. I was good (because I've already spent too much money this month) and only ordered a Peach Bellini candle and a Salted Caramel Eggnog candle as well as a loofah (I needed a new one and figured since I was already paying for shipping, why not add it!) Now I am wanting to order more but I will control myself! It took multiple tries to get my order to go through, but luckily my patience paid off and I was finally successful.

You girls are the worst enablers! I've never even been in a Bath and Body Works, let alone ordered from them. But, I just ordered 3 candles. Sigh. Y'all have helped me spend so much $$$ over the years

Y'all have helped me spend so much $$$ over the years They really are the best candles out there. They make Yankee Candle seem positively faint in terms of scent “throw.” As long as you picked scents that you like, you will love them. And if you picked a scent that you don’t like, save it and bring it into a store when it is safe again and they’ll let you exchange it for one you like better.

I braved the store today. The wait was over an hour to get in due to occupancy restrictions. Most of their standard scents were OOS and I was told that they didn't even receive shipment of any. They did have a lot of holiday scents and a few spring (?) scents that were selling out fast. I can't see how they will even have enough stock to last through Sunday as it seems like most shoppers were buying in bulk and a few like myself were buying more in order to justify the long wait time.

I made the mistake of waiting too late to order online and they were all sold out. I checked periodically throughout the day to see if they’d restock them. I went to a store at about 3 pm and the line was about an hour long by the looks of it. I went to a store tonight 30 minutes before closing but they wouldn’t even let me get in line. I’m gonna try again tomorrow and brave the line. I seriously don’t even need any as I have a candle cabinet that’s full with them. But I love a good sale.

Who would have guessed that the sale would be this insane this year? 😰

I probably spent 90 minutes yesterday trying to check out, wanted 9 candles, got 6 successfully through the checkout process (the others went out of stock during my time online) and overnight I got my confirmation email with 5 candles confirmed. So I guess that’s good, but what an awful lot of hassle and disappointment, too.

Our BBW opened at 5 yesterday. My mom was there! They were supposed to open at 6 so I don’t think many people knew, my mom anticipated a line so went early. She said there were only a few people there. They only let 18 people in at a time and they social distance the line outside (ours isn’t in a mall). She was home before 6 and that was after stopping to grab some donuts, lol. I heard later in the day the line was hours long.

When I was in line, the employee was telling people the lines would be just as bad at other locations for the duration of the sale. Being that they are OOS online, I have no doubt that will be true. Ours took a long time getting in, but only allowed 18 shoppers at a time and checkout was a breeze. Looking back, I am glad that had us waiting outdoors vs. waiting in a packed store to pay.
They tweeted this today: Day ✌ — here’s everything you need to know about Annual Candle Day: Limited quantities available Some stores SOLD OUT Selection will vary IN STORES thru Sunday (or while supplies last) SOLD OUT Online Cherie Giordano

I went to my local store yesterday and was able to buy 6 candles. There wasn't a line and they weren't limiting the number of people in the store. It was crowded, but not terrible. I had to wait in line to pay for about 10 minutes.
Many scents were sold out and they were saying that they hope they get a truck this morning.
One of the fragrances I bought is sugared snickerdoodle. Oh my, it's heavenly.

I got in line at a store today and waited about 55 minutes. The weather was in the 60’s so no problem there. They had a ton of each scent. I really did not expect to be able to get any without a lot of them being sold out. I bought a total of 15. 6 of which are for my DIL. I got: Twisted Peppermint (2) Crushed Candy Cane (2) Winter Vanilla Balsam Sugared Snickerdoodle (2) Gingerbread something (2) Cactus Blossom Frosted Cranberry And a few others. There were some winter scents I really wanted but they’re online exclusives.

Well I ordered online Friday, got my order confirmation, credit card charged. Today I got an email saying "Unfortunately, due to overwhelming demand for this event, we’re unable to fulfill some of your 3-Wick Candle order – so we wanted to send you an apology now, as we know how disappointing it can be to not receive a product you had your heart set on. You’ll get another email from us soon, sharing specific cancellation details." They included a 20% and free shipping code.
How was I able to order if they're out of stock? It's clearly marked out of stock and you can't add to your cart. I'm still waiting on the follow-up email to know what I'm getting. If I'm only getting one candle with $5.99 shipping that'll suck. Between their site constantly crashing Friday, selling out online within hours, and now all the canceled orders, I'm likely not going to bother next year. It's just candles....

I got the same email today, as well as another telling me which candle it was that was cancelled. Luckily it was still just 1 that was cancelled (like my confirmation indicated) and not more than that. Because you're right, if they cancel enough then the shipping isn't worth it anymore.

I'm still waiting on the follow-up email to know what I'm getting. How frustrating. I was disappointed at the selection at my store, but now that I know that there's no deadline as to when I can do an exchange, I might just go back later.

How was I able to order if they're out of stock? It's due to how many orders hitting their system at once. The computer can't calculate the inventory fast enough. I actually knew the sale was happening as I have a family member who sells essential oils who went OFF on the candle sale. How bad BBW is yadda yadda yadda. She's also Anti-mask and Anti-Vax, so I often ignore her, but I literally had to block her this past weekend over her meltdown over these candles. To those of you who were able to get what you wanted yay! always a rush to get what you want for a great price.
