I have an order from 7 days ago that’s still “in process” and another one from a few days after that, thats’s been “getting ready” for several days.
These were one of two pairs of booties I ordered during this sale and these were a keeper. I ordered the banana bread color and it's a beautiful rich shade of tan. Keep in mind that if you order that particular color, it's slightly darker in color towards the toe of the boot. I'm in between a 6.5 and 7 and ordered the 7 given the slightly pointed shape and to give me room for wearing socks and it's a great fit. There's a good amount of cushioning in these and I'm really excited to wear them when the weather cools downs. I would definitely recommend trying them out.
I have a lame BP tee from 7/13 still waiting to ship. It’s the pink striped tee, which I’m likely returning.
Also have an order from 7/19 still preparing to ship. Luckily all my other orders shipped.
I returned a few items today no problem but my next trip there I’ll definitely have more items to return..
Today returned le specs sunnies, topshop denim shorts, Leith wrap dress, speechless lace dress
Picked up Steve Madden mules, adidas shoes for my toddler, spanx faux leather leggings, beauty blender
Obsessed with the soprano side cutout bodycon dress in black. Going to get it hemmed to hit at my knee since I’m 5’3”. But it’s the perfect black dress!
Waiting on 4 dresses, wit & wisdom jeans, Leith rib wrap sweater
I'm still waiting on the BFD circle cardigan ordered 7/12. I'm assuming it's OOS and wish they would just cancel at this point!
Oh, the gravel in those Sketchers! I keep threatening to toss them. Such poor design.
I hate this too. I also wish they would just take the notes back as well. I'm back in the hole again because of my returns. It's also annoying that they issued them less then a week after the purchases. I got the notes before I got what I ordered. I cancelled two orders from the first day of the presale that were in limbo for more than a week "getting ready" status. Some of the items weren't even sale items. I wish they would wait until they bill you to issue them.
They used to issue notes with each billing cycle so it is annoying that they do it so quickly now IMO. Nobody wants to be in the negative!
i think they still do this (i.e., issue notes at each billing cycle). The immediate notes thing was just for the sale 10 points day i believe... in the "we're so sorry" email, it said that they would give 10 points and issues notes within 10 days. That's why we all got "you've got a new note!" emails, like, every day (that is, if you placed a zillion duplicate orders by accident like me. LOL).
As a long-time card holder, i have excitedly looked forward to the NAS every year, and plan ahead with catalog, lookbook, SA appt, AND jump online the first day..... But this year, i am feeling like so much work for me, i have little to show for it and i am regretting my participation .........
July 12: Ordered undies, tights, camis, pendelton throw ( shipped yesterday, to arrive 25th!!!!!)
July 13: Met w/ SA to look at items i had texted her. The selection was so awful in store, and the poor thing was stuck trying to sell me “comparables” - i left with three shirts for DH, supergoop spf powder, one throw and cashmere wrap for my mom. In the store i had SA order online: more throws, Ecco sneakers, Aquatalia boots. foxcraft shirts and bp cardies. i get they cant carry every single thing, but it seems that in past years - at least on the first day- you could see the colors of everything and feel the quality, details and size before you made the order. This order i requested ship to store and as of yesterday, still no arrival
July 13: Yes, i did another order after being in the store and realizing i wanted to go ahead and see some more IRL: jewelry. AGL heels and more clothes for DH ( this also has not shipped)
Overall, I am perplexed by Nordstrom marketing strategy. Many of the things i was interested in i could have purchased multiples for gifts if seen IRL. And not even receiving the ordered items yet. ( YES - i have not received a single item of my three orders!!!) i have missed out on any chances for size or color exchanges or to encourage others to look at the deals. But maybe this circus is what i needed to realize the sadness in my quest for nordstroms to “please” take my money during NAS -lol . I have good memories of past NAS: stocking up for gifts, buying trendy fall items and getting my girls kitted out for the school year, but maybe i need to just remember the good times and move on.

That requires the person to have 20K limit on their Nordstrom card though - I think the 10x pts is only for using that card. Not if you pay with other methods. I don’t think it’s that easy to have that limit although I may be wrong
Your point still stands though. But I think normally they wait to issue notes at the end of the billing cycle, it’s only this 10x point one that has gotten issued immediately.
For those who picked up a Halogen cashmere wrap, which one did you go with and why? Thanks!

I first bought this cashmere cardigan: https://shop.nordstrom.com/s/halogen-shawl-collar-cashmere-cardigan/4873402
I was at the store for my level 4 appointment and checking out when I saw this one in the pretty pink and decided just to get it. Because it is one size, it is a tad bigger and boxier than I would like, but I really like the pink.
Another day when I went to the store, I happened to see the scarves and couldn't help touching them. I have tons of scarves, so I decided I didn't need another one. Yet, I could not forget about it and yesterday I ended up purchasing them in store after I looked online and realized there was a lavender option. I bought the lavender and pink ones.
