Also.. Is looks like Nordstrom is removing reviews? That or something is glitching. I wrote a few poor reviews for some items and they have not been loaded even though I wrote them 3+ days ago. Also I remember a poor review being posted under the Reiss Leah coat and now its vanished... Odd.

I thought there was a lack of reviews as it was taking so long for your items to actually ship. I have not written any reviews this year

Anyone else finding that in general, a lot of items they are getting are pretty poor in quality? The only items I've been 100% good with are socks, underwear and a couple shoes/pieces of clothing. The rest just seem poorly made. I know that a lot of these items are made just for the anniversary sale (and it's obvious when you google the style name and nothing comes up except for on nordstrom). But that isn't an excuse to make poor quality items! You'd think that store-exclusive items would be made well, so it's a bit of a disappointment. I feel bad too that I'll end up returning probably 50-70% of the items I got due to quality or crappy fit.

I can’t say I’ve been unhappy with the quality of any of the items I have purchased except for one treasure and bond top. My issues on items I’m returning are really due to sizing issues. Everything I’m keeping so far I am really happy with and will use. Of course I’m still waiting on some outstanding items to ship…….

What I dislike is if the item is OOS, you can’t leave a review. I think if you submit a review while the item is sold out, the review will eventually show up if the item comes back in stock but it’s not helpful for those of us who are stalking popbacks. If the reviews for the Reiss coat continued to come in even when it’s OOS, it could help potential buyers in terms of figuring out sizing and whether it’s worth continuing to hunt for it or to give up.

Has anyone done "curbside return"? Is it better to go directly into the store or did this work out well for you? I'm going to a store (about 2 hours away) today and will have an armload.

I've done these for the past year, they're pretty easy, sometimes they take a while to come out to your car if they're busy. I had a lot last week, the guy had to call for backup. Just make sure everything is organized by order with the packing slip or a printout of your email to avoid them missing anything. The receipts they send after are vague at times, the last one had the longer product numbers (not the store product numbers) and no photos so it was hard to identify what exactly was returned. It will take about an hour or so to get your receipt so double check it and follow up that day if needed.

I would have to agree 100% and I was afraid that was the direction they were going when I took some of the surveys they have on the Advisory Board thing. I made sure to comment I’d rather see quality then pieces I’d replace after a season. I didn’t buy one pair of shoes this season, no jackets (well the Reiss, but from what I hear it’ll be going back. U have yet to receive it.) I did buy a couple pairs of jeans, two shirts from BP which I was surprised by, the fabric is so soft, some items in beauty. I will say I ordered a Vince belted wool cardigan coat that I was able to try on in the store in an XL and it was beautiful and the quality was there. It wasn’t in the sale but on clearance for 60% off so I ordered my size online. It’s shipped so I’m excited for that. Outside of that I bought this with my notes because it made me smile the second I saw it. 52361F4D-FB61-4959-B0C8-A0DDCED8E1B4.jpeg

I was eyeing this! Glad to hear you like it. Unfortunately my size is OOS.

I wasn’t sure about the belt when I saw it online but in person this coat has a great drape, it isn’t stiff or structured at all so I would just tie the belt behind and let it hang or take it off all together. I will say I even considered buying the XL and rolling up the sleeves. It was that cool, I just loved it.

I don't think the quality is poor, per se. But definitely many items are made specifically for the sale (I am looking at you, Zella, Treasure & Bond, etc...) and the quality is aligned to the price more so than full-priced items in many cases.

I feel like I buy a ton and end up sending quite a bit back because of fit issues which I think can fall under the quality category.

I think I’ve gotten lucky so far with this year’s sale. The quality of the clothing pieces I’ve gotten have been nice.
