This was my first time ordering from MAC, and unfortunately, it will most likely be my last.
MAC was advertising a 15% off promotion for your first order when you sign up. I signed up specifically to take advantage of this offer, only to find that the promotional code didn't work at checkout.
I contacted customer support expecting them to resolve what should have been a very simple issue. Instead, I spent an entire hour going back and forth with customer service, and they STILL couldn't figure out why the promotion wasn't working or provide me with a solution.
How can a company advertise a promotion to get customers to sign up and provide their information, and then fail to honor the promotion — while customer support can't even explain or resolve the issue?
This honestly feels like a complete waste of my time and a terrible way to treat a potential first-time customer. If you can't make your promotional offers work, at least have customer service that can actually resolve the problem.
After wasting an hour trying to get help, I simply gave up. What should have been an easy first purchase turned into an incredibly frustrating experience.
I would strongly recommend thinking twice before ordering directly from MAC. There are plenty of other companies that can provide a better shopping experience without wasting their customers' time.
Extremely disappointed. MAC has lost a potential customer before I even placed my first order. I'll be taking my business elsewhere.
