I organized my jewelry the other day into a new jewelry box/trays and realized I could use more earrings haha. So took a look at the sale’s CZ studs by Nordstrom. I ordered a few different sizes, but just got cancellation on three of them. Now more items to stalk.

Spoke too soon. I went to check on them after I posted here and they were in stock. Of course, only one left of everything. So wondering if it showed in stock because they canceled my order? No idea, but reordered them. I’m not sure what size I would like, so I may order them again if they pop up just to be safe.

I haven’t been able to get that gold in any size. I have the black as a backup. My store has the gold in XL and I passed thinking my small would ship… I regret that lol.
Haha, I feel you! I saw it in the XL yesterday in store, and I was so tempted. But I knew I had the medium coming, so I resisted because there wouldn’t be a point in my getting it. The XL I saw was at the Topanga store in Woodland Hills if you want to call and try to see if they still have it.
 
So I posted last week about a strange chat I had online with customer service where they told me they canceled 3 orders for me but the orders weren't actually canceled. Well today I got an email that Nordstrom is processing a refund for one of those orders! And it ended up shipping and was delivered today according to the tracking (not home yet). Not sure what that customer service rep did or why it was refunded after shipping but I will be returning it to the store.
 
So far I have three items to return, a shirt that was too small for my hubby, and two Blondo sneakers, which I couldn't even get on my feet. Plus, they sent me the same color, black, instead of one black and one grey pair. I thought I'd have to send them back through the US mail. I also thought it would be a bit of a problem because they sent the wrong colored item. But it was easy-peasy as they're now allowing and encouraging you to return items to a Rack (unless it's fine jewelry or a designer item). The nearest Nordy store for me is 60 miles away. The nearest Rack (7 miles away). This made my day as I was expecting to have a problem with this return as well as possibly getting lost in the return madness. The SA at the Rack said they're also allowing most Nordstrom items to be shipped to the Rack, which would make it easier for me instead of waiting for FedEx or the shipper I really dislike, Ontrac, to deliver. This to me is a much needed improvement. So, I'm a happy camper!
 
Just got the Rails button down shirt in olive today. The xl fits my hips but the rest of the shirt is way too much fabric plus the sleeves are super long. I know oversized look is in but this just looked sloppy on me. The fabric I love and it drapes nicely but the color was much too dark for me as well. I’m returning it and will wear the black and white plaid size large rails shirt I bought a few years ago and leave it open with a white tee underneath. (At least until my hips can fit back into it). Think I’ll take a look at the Faherty shirts……
 
Just when I thought this sale couldn't more complicated :hrmm:..... I was just on the phone with Nordstrom cards for 1.5hrs (now exhausted) to go thru my statement, because it seems like I have a dress got charged twice and a top got charged twice as well. The customer rep I spoke to was very nice, but neither one of us have encounter anything like it. She then went thru a Nordstrom.com rep to confirm there's only one order for each of the item, but somehow there are 2 charges for each of the items. Then I was placed thru to the dispute department where they will do an investigation on it. My theory is that when I placed the order online, it went thru my card and got charged (which the rep and I both agrees Nordstrom does not do that until the item is actually shipped), then when it was shipped a day or two later, it went thru my card again. At least the dates correspond to my theory of what happen. So just be aware, not sure if there is some sort of system glitches or whatnot, but definitely check your statements!!

P.S.... This is not helping with my deeply rooted trust issues....lol....:doh:
 
I send multiples back in the same box all the time. I do make sure return sheets are matched up with the items and checking them off online does help. I keep the return stub of what I returned and I snap a picture of the outside label and get a receipt from the post office. I have personally not had an issue yet. But definitely do what you feel comfortable with.
When I worked for them years ago, I saw so many customers have problems when sending items from multiple orders back all in one box. I would make sure to ship separately and use the prepaid label that came with the correct order (or that was generated online with the correct order if you go that route). I always take picture of what I ship back with the return receipt then another picture of the shipping label. Once tracking updates online, I sign up to be notified when they receive it so I know when to start the countdown between received and "should be processed by". Some may see it as a lot of work but I see it as insurance that I get my money back because how they can get in certain circumstances these days.

I bet we have "S" and "J" in our MBTI. Same goes for everyone who created a spreadsheet for nsale, which btw, was quite a few. I did a search and there were several pages of results. @nikki626, @buggiewomma, @*Nikara, @Tagner, @carolswin just to name a few "planner" personalities.
gosh, is my S and J showing? :facepalm:

I think I’m going to follow the same procedures you do from here on out. I know I haven’t had problems in the past but I also don’t like to tempt fate. Always best to follow someone who is in the know.

Ha! I’m INFJ and I love hearing about people’s MBTIs. :blush:
I make spreadsheets for Nordstrom NAS because of the wonky way that they charge things (by shipment at the time it shipment with a bunch of charges per order, instead for the entire order at the time of order), and also to help with returns and items I’m stalking. It’s really kind of ridiculous that you actually need a spreadsheet f you have any hope of following whatever the he** they are doing over there.

I don't recall taking the MBTI before but I was intrigued what I am now ... apparantly I'm INFJ which totally makes sense except for the F part... T is weighted pretty high on that scale as well :biggrin:

I absolutely create spreadsheet to follow the NAS for the exact reason!

Maybe this specific type of analness is an INFJ thing… super rare “counselors” who advocate for lost souls hopelessly reviewing their Nordstrom statements and finding no similarity between the charge amounts and their order amounts :drinks:
