Still waiting on the majority of my order from last Friday(7/16). Two items are listed as shipping later, but the other stuff should ship! Just a bit frustrated that an order from last week is hung up in 'getting ready' status like that. I had an order I placed on 7/18 cancel just today. Bummer. I have 3 other small orders in 'getting ready' status and I am just about done with it. Every order I've placed for the Bombas socks has canceled on me.
 
I just received the blue one today. I think it’s very pretty and comfortable just like the grey one I bought. I plan on using them during the fall and winter when heading to and from my pilates classes. So soft inside.
I got both colors and the blue is definitely the more cotton material on the outside. Keeping the blue and returning the pink.
 
OMG the Reiss coat arrived and I don‘t hate it. :shocked: I mean I don’t love it yet either. I want to get the wrinkles out and see how I like it when I’m dressed. I bought an eight and it fits. I’m regularly a 10, or a 12. I have a 12 ready to arrive on Tuesday. I’m wondering if I’ll like the fit of the 12 better. Hmmmm.
 
Yes I believe most clothing is declining in quality except the very high end, and those items are increasing in price.
Its not just Nordstrom.

The place I see it most (for me) is cashmere. I recently found an unworn 20 year old Charter Club (Macy's) cashmere sweater in my closet. I couldn't believe the quality and thickness of the material, esp for a mid-price item.
Today's cashmere sweaters are thinner, and they often feel more like wool.

Ironically, I find the best cashmere sweaters today to be Nordstrom Signature. Those are still really nice.
I wanted this in the NAS but they removed it from the sale for some reason.

If you want a Burberry cashmere coat- these are presumably pretty nice- those now cost $3250. :eek: YIKES.


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.

Uhhh I have a question I’m kinda embarrassed to ask, so I did that thing where you order stuff and then look again and wait for more stuff to restock and order more. Well, on my Nordstrom card it gave me a limit and I exceeded it but it still let me go through with the order(maybe because it’s processing some of it still so it wasn’t charged yet?) now im wondering if anyone else has done that and what happened :x I saw that really nice cardigan coat I think by Vince finally in my size in a color I’m fine with and rushed to check out.

Nothing happens, they will bill you for the amount over your limit in your next bill though. Say you are over by $500 and your normal billing cycle payment is $100- your bill will be for $500.
 
I received the P448 in glitter today! I love them. Some say they’re too pink. They are a mix of black and pink glitter with a leopard tab on the back. There was a plain version that’s sold out. I have several pairs of Vintage Havana that are plain. I’m excited to wear these blingy shoes! Very comfy whole sizes only. I’m 6.5-7 and the 37 is great. :heart:

I get the pulled pork from Whole Foods and it’s good BUT never received through the mail. What is going on in the warehouse? I am a bit alarmed by some of the order mixups especially the ones involving expensive jewelry. My local store had very little. I finally got there yesterday but I was likely too late in the sale. They offered to order for me but I think they are overwhelmed on every level. A sincere thank you to all who have posted. It’s helped me make more informed decisions!

Not a huge big mixup but instead of the Free People T shirt ordered I pulled out something that looked like it would be found in a thrift store....that Free People jacket with the tattered bottom. In the grayed out black color it looked SO bad. Now the T shirt is sold out and not popping up and I have to add the stupid jacket to my massive pile of returns. First world problems.
 
So the Treasure & Bond Hooded Poncho (one size only) was sold out before I had access to the sale. I have checked every morning for restock. It wasn't available this morning but suddenly I saw it just now and bought it. It said "only a few left" but after I placed my order it now says out of stock again (black color). Has anyone tried this one and what were your thoughts if you did?
 
I placed an order 7 days ago for one item. I watched the item go in and out of stock at least 8 times...no movement on my order (“getting ready”). I decided to place a duplicate order when the same item came in stock again. Guess which order just shipped? The order I placed yesterday. The other one is still “getting ready.” Getting ready for what, I don’t know. It could have learned to dance a tango by now.


Anyway I recommend duplicate orders.

Lol it knew I was talking about it...it just shipped within 5 minutes of posting this. Now I’ll have 2. Great. What sick clown is running this show.

The Reiss coat cancelled twice for me already and I am really contemplating if I should continue to stalk it....
