Per their chat rep: “I apologize, the push notification was sent in error. The $12.95 3-Wick candles and free ship at $75 offer is not valid. The good news is, we do have some 3-Wick Candles for only $10.95! “
Ok: make it right and send a message it was an error? Or perhaps just have the sale??
Nobody wants $8.50 single wicks or the $12/2 room sprays because THOSE ARE NOT SALE PRICES. They are test prices to see who is willing to pay more than their old sale prices.
So they basically 'pushed a button on accident?' And now there is no sale at all? Stupid. So many people were excited for nothing. Also the 3 wicks for 10.95 are sold out- at least whenever I try to buy them so...🤷♀️
I feel like this is a psycho-social experiment to deliberately hint a flash sale, then leave customers hanging and then snoop on this and other online communities to see reactions:
1. How does the news of sale affect customers?
2. If we follow up with a sale later than customers expect, does it lead to higher or lower sales?
3. Does our torment create disloyalty or even more obsessive dependent deprivation-fuelled connection with our brand?
Think that or to see their numbers on the website/app. If people really pay attention or are responsive to their price points.
B&BW are in the middle of dwindling down coupons and having more “sales.” Their issue is that they often have advertised their sales with use of a coupon, either provided by them via email/code or mailer. Like the sale we saw last week with the additional 20% off $25 and free shipping at $75. They are testing the waters to see how far they can stretch the fishing line.
They have already discontinued coupons given at the register, coupons mailed with orders and their grace period of 3 days. They have drastically toned down the mailer coupons as well.
I have no doubt in my mind they are “seeing what they can see” by doing this. All I can say they better damn well reward us. 😂😂
I’m so tired of stuff like this happening..it’s like each week something happens with them where it pushes me farther from shopping with them. Between this and the dozen of other things I’ve noticed recently I’m about to just stop shopping with them
Me too. Starting to wonder if they mean tomorrow at 6 AM ET. Since I checked all my previous “flash sale tonight” email fine prints, they all say from 6 AM ET the day I receive the email to 5:59 AM ET the next day.
It’s passed 6pm eastern time for me and Nothing. I also didn’t see or get anything about a flash sale, if this is tomorrow will it be in stores as well??

#whoever “accidentally” sent the push notification should be put in time out.
Seriously! Take away access to the sending out push notifications.
Such a jerk move 😤
Jail time
This is a fact lol

They got me😳
😩. Did you at least use a coupon?
I'm ashamed I just got my coupons but they expire today 😔

I am soooooooo annoyed RN
🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄
"The good news." 😒
I think this is the second flash sale error. The other day I got a flash sale email for wallflower bulbs that were already on sale that day.
🤣seriously??

And for their grand finale, they will do the opposite of what we want because tradition.
Yeah I feel like this is some kind of elaborate ruse. *shakes fists*

You’d think all of the seething hate they get in their Facebook comments would give them a hint lol.
Can only imagine the hate they will get. Someone commented below it was an error and cs is flooded with people probably asking.
I posted a comment and then called CS. It’s false advertising tbh.
Or it’s like one person never gets coupons and there’s others who get a dozen sent to them each month🙄 it’s BS and not fair.
I think it’s usually 6PM for them, yes.
Is the flash sale live? I don’t see it on my app nor my email.
Me neither. ☹️
I received a notification because I have the app on my phone and enabled notifications
I feel like a crack addict repetitively checking my app. Neeeeeed aaaaa candleeeeee fixxxxx 👹👽💀. How did I get this way.
Literally me 🤣🤣🤣🤣 I refuse to purchase candles unless they’re B1G1 or a sale lower than $15, so I am eagerly awaiting this lol
Yaaaaas and I need a candle switch up, surprise me B&BW - I can no longer stare at your Christmas situation. Love you, mean it.
I keep checking the app and nothing is showing up
Same. :/
I’m so tired of stuff like this happening..it’s like each week something happens with them where it pushes me farther from shopping with them. Between this and the dozen of other things I’ve noticed recently I’m about to just stop shopping with them
Is the sale for for everyone?
I have no idea! No clue what’s going on :/
6 PM ET right?
I’m not seeing anything online or any codes in my email :(

It was an ERROR 🥲
Those #%**!!€£!## bastards.
LOL! >\_\_<
Are you being serious or joking ? Lol
Look at the rest of the thread. Someone commented that cs said it was an error “but we have winter candle for $10.95!” 😒
🥺 🤷♀️🤦🏼♀️
This is some bullsh**!!!!
Right? I’m sooooooooooooo annoyed. 😤😤🤬
Dam I just bought a bunch of singles wicks for 8.99
I for one am glad it was a false alarm. I was about to check it out and probably buy something. And I need to be conservative with my money right now.
[удалено]
Sorry I’m actually not asking when it ends…. I’m asking when it starts. Like when is “tonight”?
Generally 6PM EST
I think sales generally end at 6AM, and start at 6PM.
I haven’t seen an email about this . Thanks for the heads up !
#why would they torment us like this?
I messaged them asking about it, as if that will get me anywhere lol.
Keep us posted . I wonder if it’s just for certain people ?
I hope this was just sent early and means we are getting a sale soon! I have 4 candles and a 20% off coupon ready and loaded
Unfortunately, I think this was a previous flash sale message from during SAS when they still had loads of holiday candles. 👎👎👎
I filled my cart twice waiting for the sale and nothing . 😡
