Upload!
I ordered the Pinkelicious Cool Racerback and Bangbuster headband. I briefly had the Beach Blanket Blue Cool Racerback in my cart, too, but it looks too similar to Beaming Blue. I want to see it in the store first but I think I will end up passing on it. I was kind of hoping for a Kayak Blue CRB but it looks like we aren't getting too many items in Kayak.
New towels and yoga mats were uploaded in Groovy Grape so it looks like that is a new color. I'll take a CRB in this.
Did you get anything?

Wow, that was quite possibly the saddest upload I've ever seen.
I lost my head and ordered a bunch of power y's-- tender violet, very green, and both floral prints!!
I'm getting the Rest Day Pullover because I love how it looks and I feel like it may sell out, and I might get one of the Power Y tanks *luon but don't know which color. Help? Bordeaux drama is back?!
It won't complete my order! Does anyone else have this problem?
Got the vintage sports grey rest day pullover! I love vintage sports grey, but was hesitant to get that throw me over hoodie since it's so short.....
The reversible bang busters are cute, but I find they slip off my head more than the originals with circle mesh backing because the luon light again the hair is more slippery than circle mesh. The reversible ones probably cost the same (or less) to make than the one-sided ones, but people are willing to pay 4$ more, so I will probably never get my beloved "one side only" 14$ bangbusters back...
anyone else having trouble getting their orders to process on the website? I've tried 3 times now, and it keeps saying they're having trouble processing the order. . .
@ Micaela - I don't think Bordeaux Drama is back. I think they are just making regular luon Power Ys with extra material since people have been asking for them. I wish they'd make some print ones. Those are the Power Ys I like.
I had the same problem! I closed my window n next thing you know I got an email
Confirming my order! I hope I didn't get charged more than once and that my order went trough.
website not working! need very green power y!
website down!!! need very green crb!!!
@10:17- yes me too. I think mine finally went through bc I got an order number in an email from lulu but it's weird bc my shopping bag is still full when I go to the website. I'm worried that I either won't get it or I will get like 10 orders. Lol.
Love, love, love the rest day pullover!
It also won't complete my order! (USA site). This is SO IRRITATING!
WTH is wrong with checkout? "Processing" forever. Finally stopped that - took me back to review and complete order button and now I click on complete order button again ( and again and again) and nothing happens. I'm stuck on this screen. Ugh. And PayPal already sent me an email saying my $$ has gone to lulu. Do I start over? Help.
Anon at 10:17 PM, I'm experiencing the same problem. No orders went through, however 2 transactions in my Paypal account are showing as "pending," but my order history in my lulu account is blank for today. What a headache. I don't want to have fight the GEC for my refund for these orders... they tend to be very unhelpful when cancelling orders already placed online. Worse case, I'll do a chargeback through my cc company... ARGH!
I can't complete my order either. I've tried three times.
Anon 8:17, I am having the EXACT same problem which really upsets me becaused I will be seeing red if I miss out on that Very Green Power Y!!
Help! using a mac and chrome. WHY CANT I BUY IT:(
I also Can't complete my order.
It's happening to a lot of people.
great now i'm getting like 10 of the same thing. are they kidding me? i just got the second order confirmation. what do i do?
I was so excited to see a very green power y uploaded tonight...having trouble placing my order. #lululemonproblems
My order went through immediately without any problem (the u.s.)
It won't let me complete my order either. Lame. Glad it's not just me. I'm going to bed and will try again in the morning. If my items are still available, that is. *sigh*
@ Lauren - Are you kidding? Oh no! I'm reading some people are getting the second charge credited back already. You might want to send them an email/post on their facebook page with the duplicate order #.
I just blasted them on FAcebook, not that it will matter. IF the GEC responds I'm sure it will be something condescending. It is really is quite ridiculous to do these uploads in the middle of the night and have no customer service available via phone or online chat. :( I had sworn off Lulu for awhile, but the old Power Y of regular luon sucked me back in.
So pissed off right now...
OMG, I just saw a photo of a woman's paypal account where she was charged the same amount 4x. Paypal is such a pain to get refilled, too. WTH
So if I don't have an order #, should I submit again? PayPal says it authorized my funds. Dammit. I don't want my bank account debited over and over again.
I'm in the US and have tried both chrome & safari- no luck. on safari i got an error that said "breathe deeply... and try again. there was an error committing the order." but then just now i got an email that said my order went through! very confused. hopefully it didn't double charge me because i used a gift card. anyways- i got a very green power y and very green v neck swiftly. going to check out the florals and the new pink+blue in the store but i still think the pink and blue are too much like what i already have.
@ anon 11:06 pm - I wouldn't submit. People seemed to be getting debited multiples times when they resubmit.
I just got an email confirmation from lulu, a full 45 min after my order kept "processing" and then stalling out.
I'm blaming Day for this too!
@ anon 11:20 pm - phew!
Yep just got 5 confirmation emails, Lulu better fix all this tomorrow, eek!
Lululemon has a huge mess on their hands tonight. I am just going to tell myself that I don't need anything that I order, and if it shows up that will be a nice surprise.
My order confirmation email arrived an hour after I seemingly unsuccessfully submitted the order. It really shouldn't be this difficult. Lululemon makes me so happy, yet it irritates the crap out of me sometimes. I feel like I'm in a dysfunctional relationship!
i am not concerned about the multiple charges, i'm concerned about getting that green power y!! i can return any excess to the nearby store. i'm very irritated that this online order took me a hour and i'm still not convinced that the order will go through... (thought: is it the ambush on the luon power y's causing this pandemonium???)
Well, either I just bought 10 power y's or saved myself a bunch of $$ by not having the site work properly. You suck lulu.
WTF I missed the very green power y?!! The f'ing site kept stalling out and now it says that it's no longer available ! It's 3am east coast time and this happens?!!! The site is awful!!!! Frustrated...not bothering to try to order anything else, what's the point!!
My observation from buying WMTM soon after it has been uploaded is that Lulu does not reserve the items in your cart while you complete your Paypal transaction. If any item in your cart sells out in that time, your order will not process properly and you will not receive a confirmation email, see the order in your order history or have made a order. You will however still be charged by Paypal. So it's a bit risky when you are trying to buy an item that may sell out before you complete your transaction. The scenario today seems a bit different though because people received confirmation emails eventually.
I would check back about the very green power Y tanks, it might be saying they are sold out due to the multiple duplicate orders that went through-very excited about the pinkolicious bangbuster!!!!:)
Just the pinkelicious CRB for me. I have raspberry glo already though so I will have to see which color I like better. Not loving anything else.
SO sad there will not be a very green or kayak blue crb, I really want some pure greens and blue-green shades!!!
After trying to check out on the east coast for 30 mins at 2:30 am no less! I finally got my very green power y, and i ordered both my sizes so there is no doubt! Doesnt look like i got multiple charged thus far. What a giant pain in the ass!
@ anon 12:33 - feeling your pain. Anyone out there who ordered two size 6 VeryGreen PowerYs in all this mess, I'll gladly take one off your hands. ;)
The first night in months that I didn't stay up and missed the very green power y... Darn! :(
Sorry to read about all your troubles trying to purchase in the wee hours. Hope it's smoothly sorted out for you with zero hassle from LLL.
Very "meh" on all the new stuff. Don't need another CRB that looks like Beaming Blue. "Yawn" more pink stuff.
Oh wow, sorry to hear of everyone's frustrations, sounds like a mess.
I didn't order anything. I was surprised that the CRB featured for so long in that banner was the Beach Blanket Blue and not Surge. Pretty sure I will pass on it since I have Beaming Blue and a number of other variations of that color in a tank that Nike released last year. Too bad that Tender Violet wasn't in a CRB, I would have pounced on that.
My yoga instructor was wearing a vinyasa tank in class last night and looked fantastic. She is a shorter woman with a short waist and it was very flattering on her.
I NEED a Groovy Grape CRB... that color is gorgeous. Didn't stay up for the upload and am now happy I didn't
Ordered the pinkelicious and beach blanket blue CRBs. Wish I would have ordered the green power Y but the site was making me so nervous I ended up missing out on it. :(
I had 9 charges showing on PayPal pending. I called them today and the confirmation order numbers showed nothing on their side...no product. They cancelled them anyway and some that didn't have confirmations they said would fall off within 24 hours. What a frustrating mess! If you have a confirmation number I would call if you really want the items. Mine were empty on their side but mine showed all the product.
OT, looking forward to your YOGASMOGA reviews!! An inside zipper just busted on my 'get up and glow' jacket. Ugh, its becoming hard, lulu.
Your YOGASMOGA review cannot come soon enough ;) The the zipper on the inside pocket of my 'get up and glow' jacket busted the other day. Ugh.
How fustrating for everyone who tried to order last night! I hope LLL can find a resolution that works for you ;p haha
I really like to look of the rest day pullover but the colors are so boring!!! I have two very similar from LOLE in pink and grey already...I feel doubtful that they will bring out more colors..they've released the top before in black and grey..I might just have to go with the black. At least it will go with all my colorful bottoms!
For people who missed out on the regular luon Power Ys, I think we'll see these reappear on the website soon.
A lot of us who placed orders last night kept clicking the "confirm order" button, which probably made their online store inventory decrease significantly from the upload time to ~12 am PST when Anon at 12:33 pm mentions the VG Power-Y disappeared. Since most of these orders were not successful and/or later cancelled through the GEC, I'm guessing we'll see these items restocked soon.
For people who used Paypal, call the GEC line ASAP and reference your Paypal ID associated with the transaction. Lulu will cancel the authorized Paypal transaction and you'll see the funds returned in the next 3-5 days, vs. potentially waititng 30 days for the refund. This was told to me by a very helpful GEC person this morning when I called.
UGH, what a headache! Never a dull moment with lulu's ongoing mistakes it seems.
pinkeliocious speed shorts...did on line chat and found out they are 2-way stretch
I'm guessing that the Tender Violet is showing sold out due to the multiple orders that were processed unintentionally ?? Hoping this is the case! I intended to order but I'm kinda glad I didn't. My husband would have freaked out about being charged multiple times. No lulu is worth that!!
I didn't have any problems with my purchases last nite. I was shopping between 10pm-midnight (PST) and it worked just as usual. Got the Very Green Power Y, Rest day pullover in grey and Throw me over in grey. I guess I like what most people don't like - I tried on the TMO at the store and love the length of it. I am usually a 8 in tops and 10 in jackets and this hoodie is too short and tight in an 8 but just right in a 10. Perhaps it's a size up item. It's definitely not cropped on me. Was hoping to see more run skirts color/prints but nothing so I guess I am keeping my frangipani pink and aquamarine pacesetters.
I talked to GEC this morning. I had the same problem as everyone else, apparently placed my order for two luon Power Ys four times, and they are going to try to cancel three of those orders. I told them I would much rather get all four and return them than not get any, so please don't F it up!!! Fingers crossed everything works out. This was indeed a pain, maybe LLL should just release products people like regularly and in stores so nothing crashes, huh?
Ha ha I guess people are going crazy ordering from the lulu website and it's overloaded. Their servers can't handle heavy traffic?
I am shopping at Patagonia for now lots of cute stuff and I found a really nice hoodie that isn't short.
http://www.patagonia.com/us/product/womens-cloud-stack-hoody?p=54490-0-065 and it costs less.

OT - in a bunch of pictures of tanks and jackets the models are wearing a pair of light gray wunder unders. Does anyone know what these are? Old or new?
I bought a pinkelicious CRB. I wasn't planning on getting this as I have a pow pink one, but I just wore the pow pink one last night and realized that after dropping 30 lbs it's time for a new pink CRB in a size 8 :).
Woke up this morning to two emails from LuLulemon stating my order number. Under my account it shows two orders processing. I just hope that Lulu doesn't cancel them. I rather have two of everything and have to send back vs not getting what I want since most of my items I order are the power Y's that are now showing sold out.
If uploading "old Power Y's" has cause a shut down of Lululemon web site maybe this will be the wake-up call that they need to realize that we want the good quality products that made us addicted to their product in the first place
I can't believe I missed the green power y! My order didn't go through and the girl I talked to at lulu said the glitch in the system only affected the Luon power y and that they are sold out. Only hope is that as ppl cancel their order the tops will be re-uploaded.
Would anyone who maybe accidentally ordered multiple green power y's want to angel me one in size 8 or 10??? I would be forever grateful.
I missed out on the raspberry glo power y tank :( BUT I did end up getting the pinkelicious CRB and the frangipani parfait pink/white power y tank!!
Just called the GEC about my order disaster last night (3 PayPal transactions) and she claimed it was a PayPal issue?! I simply cannot understand why lulu will NEVER take fault!! I informed her that on FB the lulu educator acknowledged that it was a lulu website issue and she responded with "I have not been made aware of that." Ugh!!! If I didnt want those damned power y's I'd be over all of this drama!
Does anyone know if there will be a long sleeved Beach Blanket Blue swiftly? I missed out on the Beaming Blue one.
What a mess! I placed my order around midnight central time & it took forever to process. When I got up at 4:30 to go teach bootcamp, I had a confirmation email, but my cart is still on the "Complete Order" page, so we shall see!
I'm interested in the Pinkelicious CRB and the Beach Blanket CRB, but wanted to see them in person. I hope our Showroom gets them! I ended up getting just the pink & blue Bang Busters.
@10:31 pm, I have one Bang Buster that won't stay in place & it's the Pink Shell. My reversible ones to move a little bit more than the old style, but I thought it had more to do with them being less wide!
I'd love to get the Luon Power Ys, but since I'm 8.5 months pregnant, I'm nervous to buy anything that I still won't be able to wear for a couple of months!
My order never processed either and I submitted twice.
Boo. I missed all the goodies. That green power y was gorgeous.
What a bummer.
I easily ordered a navy power y later tho. Go figure.
Maybe I'll be pleasantly surprised and get a confirmation email at some point.
I saw my Paypal released funds....
I also just have to say that the "Chat with an educator" feature is beyond unhelpful, almost insulting. I explained to this "Educator" about the problem with the green power y. He suggests that I sign up for product notification emails so I can find something similar. Seriously?
I'm an int'l buyer, it did the same to me. Placed my first order and it got stalled out in the "processing" phase, so I ran to my other computer and placed a second order, the same thing. Grabbed my iPad and try to place a third one but this time got a message not from lululemon, but from my Paypal account (I always use PP to buy lulu) declining the charge a third time "because that purchased had already been authorized". I was confused but when I looked at my PP account, yes, the two first orders where reflected in there. Still no confirmation numbers or emails from lululemon but until 30 min later or so.
I immediately emailed the GEC (as someone said above, it's unbelievable that lll has no CS available at the time of the upload!) with the PP reference number for the second duplicated order, asking them to drop the hold and cancel the order (it's an int'l one!). Lululemon has not replied 12 hours later but I also never got an order confirmation for the second one. Instead, I just received a shipping confirmation for my original order!
I think lululemon quickly realized what was happening and simply cancelled all duplicated orders after the first one. I stopped worrying about being charged twice and hope no one actually did.
where are the pinkilicious pace crops?? Are they not being uploaded because of sheerness or just putting it off till next week? Pass on the pink crb and maybe get the blue if the material is nice. It looks cheap on the website.
I ordered my 2 power-y's @ 11:30pm west coast time. It stalled when I ordered but I got a confirmation e-mail 20 min later. This morning I received the shipping notification. Hopefully everyone got what they ordered even tho the site was messed up.
Lynne @ 8:14 am:
I'm positive those light gray crops are the Heathered Fossil WUC from last Spring. They were the softest WUC I've ever encountered and included the diamond gusset, one of the last WUC that had the diamond gusset btw. They're hard to find, but so great if you can track down a pair. HTH.
Would anyone who accidentely ordered 2 very green power y's want to sell me one in a size 8 or 10? My order refused to go through last night...I have been stalking the website all morning but not having any luck :( so bummed :( I would be SO grateful!
@ anon 6:41 am - really? Did it totally break? I really like my Get up and glow jacket. I know I keep catching material in the inside zipper pocket but it hasn't broken yet. Boo!
I got my shipping confirmation a few minutes ago. Guess it actually worked. Again, what a mess!!
What a mess! I can't (but really I do) believe the GEC tried to blame it on PayPal. Really? How stupid does Lululemon think it's customers are? Do they not realize this blog and Facebook exist? DUH.
It took nearly an hour for me to get my email order confirmation last night. My screen was STILL stuck on the submit order page at that time, too. And both items were still in my cart when I woke up this morning? I think I'd call that more than a "glitch".
I only submitted my order once, though I was tempted to do it again. I got the shipment notification this morning, quite surprised about that. I figured they'd probably have F'd up and run out by the time my order actually processed.
Can anyone tell me.....how the Clari-Tee Short Sleeve fits??? I read the reviews online and people wrote reviews saying how much they loved the shirt, saying how tall they are, but didnt bother to say if TTS or size up??? LOL... I dont undererstand when people write reviews and cant say how it fits! help!! Thanks!
Slightly off topic but my local LULU just told me the Boogie Short and the Gather & Crow crops were sent back due to the recall! Has anyone heard that, I called bc I didn't want to drive the 1.5 hours if they were out of stock, I am seriously so over LULU's "hiding" issues already!!!
Check ur lulu store the day after everyone gets their shipments. In my area everyone gets their stuff on thursdays. So people usually return stuff on Friday or saturday. You might be lucky and find a returned power y in very green.
@ anon 12:13pm - I bought the Clari Tee and think it is great. I thought it ran TTS. I wear a 6 in most tops and took a six in the Clari Tee. I bought the vintage sports grey which is a great color and not sheer at all, as some have said the other colors are quite sheer.
It's like feast or famine with orders - I got one confirmation email last night (after many attempts to purchase) for a green Power Y in two sizes, but today I got two shipping confirmations. So that's 4 Power Y's for me, while others are not getting any. Well definitely check your local stores over the next week, it appears that many of us who are getting too many will be making several returns!
So annoyed at condescending GEC blaming paypal. Lulu site/technology sucks. They need to get a training in how to build a website and customer service from the yogasmogs. I wish they had more styles online already so I could get them.
Just visited the lulu site (1:30pm PST) and it shows size 4, 6 & 8 Very Green Power Y's, and it let me add a 6 to my cart - just thought I'd post for anyone looking for them. The photo color did not change from Tender Violet to green, but the swatch was green, and it showed green added to my cart. Hopefully they are really there. I hope this helps some of you!
After 3 paypal submission, I got the confirmation from Lulu this morning and 5 hours later they emailed me again to tell me that one of the Power Y tanks in my order is out of stock. Their website sucks.
anon 1:32pm - I just visited the US site and don't see any Power Y's in any colors. Am I missing something?
i ordered the sport grey clari-tee and blue bangbuster headband. @ anon 12:13, you're absolutely right! the current reviews are pretty worthless. I ordered my TTS we'll see how it fits. i wish they would bring the slipless and lucky luon headbands back, i actually don't like the bangbusters, but i **need** that a blue headband;)
I think Lulu loves to see us go crazy.
@ luluwebsux - LOVE the name!!
Ordered both size 6 and size 8 VG power y during the chaos last night. Was emailed order confirmation last night 2:20am est. Just now i received an email that the size 8 is out of stock, has been credited, and won't be shipping. Ugh! The madness continues. So much for covering my ass! I sure hope it fits TTS.
I ordered the 8 VG Power Y as well - I just got the notification email that the order was cancelled because they were out of stock. For the record, I was online at 11pm PST and it took about 1 hour for my order to 'process'. I've called GEC twice today to confirm the order, AND gone online with the Chat. They said everything looked fine both times. I am EXTREMELY angry as this was the one thing I've been waiting for for since Very Green debuted. Anyone want to sell me their Size 8 VGUC?
Got my shipping confirmation an hour ago. Made my order at 10:45pm Pacific time. Same problem as the rest of you guys but did not resubmit. Had that happened before and ended up with multiple orders, so no thanks! Tempted but let it be and received my order confirmation about 15 minutes later. So now everything seems to be in order. Hope to see my Very Green Power Y on Thurs. Sorry for all those whose who missed out on it due to lulu's mismanagement of their website!
OT, just received product notification fron Cow Hollow SF. Interesting looking WUC.
http://www.lululemon.com/products/womens/bottoms/crops/4_10_13jh3453_CSAQ_beab_AQAM&store_id=25
Candy Stripe Aquamarine/Beach Blanket Blue
but I'm sure that it will have the sheerness issue!
Unknown, seriously that's completely nuts and totally unfair. I'm sorry you've had to deal with this headache today.
I ordered my VG tanks around the same time and had the same stupid "processing" prompt as well. I contacted the GEC this morning first thing when I woke up at 5 am to confirm my order. I then contacted them on chat when I noticed my order was STILL processing out of concern I'd receive a cancellation notice. I ended up receiving a shipping confirmation about an hour ago, but had I not, I'd be really upset. I haven't been buying much lately, so was excited for the VG tank b/c it's the only thing that's appealed to me in months.
You did your due diligence and spent the extra time to contact the GEC, so receiving the cancellation is very frustrating. If I had a size 8, I would so send it your way. *hugs*
Any word on what is going to come in this Groovy Grape color? I want everything in this color!!
Janelle
My order has been shipped!! I too had two orders last night, I called Gec this morning and they cancelled one of them. I was concerned both orders would be cancelled by accident. I ordered all colors in the VG power y in size 8 I might not keep them since I don't know my size I usually take a 6 on other tops. I don't mind letting you ladies know if I don't keep them n sending them to someone
Xoxo Lp
LP/Anon 528pm- let it be me please! I need the Size 8 in Very Green.. I'm the poster above (Unknown @ 258pm) that had all the issues. I'm still on chat with the GEC now and reconfirming that the order didn't go thru. This has cost me hours today :( Can you let me know how to contact you in case you don't like your tank?
Thanks - Erin
I ordered last night at about 3 am (east coast), Very Green, Bordeaux Drama, and Deep Indigo. I received a confirmation, but was notified by email that Very Green was out of stock and didn't ship with the rest of my order. I find this a bit strange since I ordered right at upload time.
I wanted the VG most of all. Hopefully more will end up on the website due to multiple orders placed by other shoppers, but if anyone ordered an extra size 4 (I might be able to wear a 2 also) Very Green Power Y, please let me know, I would be happy to purchase it from you! Thanks!
You can get your bottom dollar that these extra Very Green tanks will be allll over eBay in a few days....
Hey Erin what's your email? I'm getting my order tomorrow so I can let you know.
LP
LP, you are a gem. My email address is Erin dot L dot Murray at Gmail dot com. I live in Portland, Oregon :)
Worse than me not getting my tank is my mom not getting the ones I ordered for her.
I just got off the phone with LLL to sort out my orders from last night - in addition to the order I placed for myself, I ordered two Power Y tanks for my mom for Mother's Day, one in Tender Violet and one in Very Green. Apparently she is getting neither. Sigh.
I spoke to two "educators" (ha!), was seriously bummed, and neither even managed to apologize for the website issues that caused this or express any kind of sympathy. Disappointing on numerous levels.
My mom doesn't have any Power Y's, so I'm not sure if she needs a 6 or an 8, because she had breast reconstruction surgery after cancer a while back and is sensitive to tight bra bands, but if someone has one of these sizes available in VG or TV, I would happily take it off your hands. Please and thank you.
I placed my order thinking I had the very green power y only to find out when I received my shipping confirmation that the very green was not included. GEC claims it was out of stock when I placed my order. To which I asked them why do I have an order confirmation that includes it?! I have not heard back since. :( If any one gets an extra 6 or 4 in the very green please let me know, I would be happy to purchase it and take it off your hands. My email is nptliny@yahoo.com
i saw a few power y tanks pop up for sale this morning. These must be left over from the duplicate order issues earlier this week. I was able to snag a tank in bordeaux!
I would really love a size 4 in the very green or tender violet. Let me know if anyone is willing to sell!!
