Great! I'm glad it worked out for you. Did you have to pay for it? Why would they have an extra strap lying around? Wouldn't that leave that bag without a strap?

I think some people don't want the longer strap, so maybe they just left it there. Probably the same thing happens with dustbags.

No cost, they just gave it to me - isn't that great? I brought the bag in with the Macy's receipt just to make sure they knew I purchased it and also to compare the gold leather.

They had several straps at that location, but the other FS I called didn't have any. I asked about the extras and the SA mentioned that sometimes there are bags that have been damaged, so they just keep extra straps as replacements.

Dust bags are another story. I sometimes need to ask for dust bags for the boutique deletes. An SA once said that people sometimes purchase the bags, then return them without the dust bags, so they don't always have an extra as replacement for the subsequent customers. Not Coach's fault, of course, but very disappointing in other customers. :nogood:

I heard that at some outlets, they remove the dust bags from the deletes before they sell them. I have bought some deletes without dust bags and I have never been able to get one from Coach, although my last factory online purchase came with the dust bag. I have become a dust bag hoarder. When I have sold Coach on ebay, I usually keep the dust bag so I can use it with my factory purchases. Now I have extra so I have been using them for wallets and wristlets.

Lol! Me too!! You never know when they're going to cut costs and stop providing them altogether. Once last year when I was at the FS, they told me they were out of tissue paper!! I was only slightly and very briefly worried, but they had tissue again the next time I was there. :D

Interesting that the FS online purchase came with the bag - was it a delete? I've been trying really hard not to look or purchase (have a new roof to pay for). However, I couldn't pass up the lozenge logo USB keychains that they had a few weeks ago! Great gifts and one for myself!!

Also interesting, they seem to have removed me from their email list all of a sudden. My girlfriends tell me about the sales, but I haven't received the actual emails for about a month (there have been 2 or 3 sales since). I was able to log in still using my regular login, but just no emails...:shrugs:

Better for my wallet!! Hee hee

I got the dust bag with the Kristin domed delete from the online sale last week but a few months ago I bought a Poppy rocker delete and it didn't come with a dust bag.

I haven't gotten the tissue paper with the C's on it for a long time. My recent purchases have come in plain tissue paper. They used to offer you tissue paper and boxes at the outlets but I haven't gotten any in the last year. I haven't even gotten the small dust bags with the scarves from the outlet either.

I get the emails for the sales in my husband's email account. (I could never get invited with my email - I think it was because I was already a FP customer.) I check it every day for an invite! I really need to stop.

Nice choices!

Wow - I'm surprised about the tissue! I only had that one instance that they were completely out. They don't readily offer the boxes/tissue anymore, but I have a bunch of boxes at home so I don't need them.

I had no idea that they may take me off the FS list because I'm a FP customer. Not sure what changed in the last month or so, but oh well. Not my loss, right? Hee hee!

sometimes when bags get damaged out the straps get kept--not a company policy but I know at the store I worked at the stock ladies would keep the extra straps of bags they'd damaged out; and when customers buy a bag and the straps aren't long enough..if they were nice and genuinely would purchase not just debating, the bag save the strap dilemma --I would go to the back and bring out the box of straps to see if there's one that would work and just give it free

http://www.ebay.com/itm/COACH-HAMPT...377?pt=US_CSA_WH_Handbags&hash=item1c28a1f2c9

I don't know why but I found this listing odd that the owner would take all the hangtags off the Legacy Lily Straw Basket Tote, and then have them still, but not put them back on when listing it for sale......Can you image trying to put all 96 of the hangtags back on this thing!?!! NMA by the way! I just got mine a few months ago...so glad it came with all the hangtags INTACT lol!!!

Why would you take them off? I wonder if some of them are missing. How many are there supposed to be? If she took the time to put them on, she would be more likely to sell it.
