Thanks for the gift card selling online info, it will come in handy in the future!!
I actually don't mind dealing with the Chanel Boutique I got the bag from since the SA is a great friend and I always buy from her and would like her to get the comission.
I know I should keep my options open and all. I got a call from another SA from Saks that said they got one but then sold it
and said they could order one for me. Maybe I should go down that route.
If I do, now I am stuck waiting for the 6-8wks or 2wks. I will see. Hmmm...
Yeah I did pay with cash.
So basically this is what happened:
I bought the 12C Lavender M/L with cash and took it home to compare it with my bags and see how it would fit in my collection and I didn't love/crazy about it.
So the next next day, I went to the boutique when my SA was there (could do it the next day of when I got the lavender since she had the day off) and told her I wanted to return the bag and get my cash back. She checked with the manager and said it would take 6-8wks. I thought that was too long and my bf doesn't want to wait that long and said I might as well get something else.
So I looked around the boutique for something and spotted the 12C Sequins Gold Flap (size of a mini) and took a look at it. I loved it but wasn't too crazy. Then I heard from another fellow SA that they had the yellow M/L in and so they went and looked for it.
Then walked in a SA whom said they sold it to another person on the waitlist.
I was disappointed, especially since I was first on the list but since my SA wasn't there on the day they got it so they figured SA isn't here and neither is the client, move on.
So I was hoping to get the yellow the minute they mention it but seeing what my options were I went ahead and got the sequins gold flap.
I bought it to fill the no yellow M/L flap. My bf wanted to cheer me up and told me to get the sequins and try it out.
I did and my heart doesn't sing for it like it does for the yellow.
"Yellow M/L flap......... where can you be???"
ha ha
Anyways, I paid $4200 for the lavendar I returned and got the sequins for $3600 and what was left from the lavender flap the SA placed it on a gift card.
So if the boutique gets the yellow M/L in I will exchange the sequins for the yellow M/L and what is on the gift card use that too.
So that's my story.
So sorry its long but I wanted to be thorough. Thanks for the help and advise!!
