My Rails shirt shipped, my CC is paid off, and I am done.
My one regret is not getting more Olaplex. I had never used it before, but after just two uses my hair is looking so much better!
Well, I shouldn’t say my ONLY regret. My other regret is that Zella leggings are trash now. I’m cycling through random TJ Maxx brands in hopes that I don’t end up addicted to Lulu $128 leggings.

Not the best pic since they are blending in with my carpet however, I still like them? Do they look weird?

I like them; the shape and color are great

Have you ever tried Athleta brand. They got better sales and rewards program than Lulu IMO. I never had quality issues with them. Also Costco if you have one near you, their own brand Kirklands is on par with high end brands. And of course a fraction of a price.so even if you cycle thru quick you will not feel too bad.

Does the chemical smell of spanx faux leather leggings go away after washing? The pair I received smells horrible.

Mine didn't smell, either pair, or it was not strong enough for me to notice. If you decide to keep them, you could try putting them in the dryer with a damp towel on low heat for about 20 minutes. I use this method with dry clean only stuff when I only want to remove smells.

Anyone ordered or bought Open Edit midi skirt with the side slit? Mine got canceled and not sure if I want to order again and try my luck. I’m 5’2” and don’t want it to be a maxi skirt on me. The matching top is definitely going back.

I didn't see this skirt in person, but I suspect it will be maxi length on you. I'm 5'2 as well.

I had a day off a few weeks ago and decided to give stalking a try. I ordered 11 items. As of today 10 have canceled and one is “Getting Ready” which will likely cancel. The dollar amount was significant. I’m going to be lucky to maintain my Influencer status at this rate. I have already canceled the card since early access was the only reason to get it. I think I’m done. Life is too short and Nordstrom clearly doesn’t need my money. I’ve enjoyed all of your posts and pics. Perhaps I’ll see you next year. I’ll be retired and perhaps more energetic.

this really takes the fun out of the shopping.

This is a non-NAS item, but a sale item and the last one left. My shipping address is in Northridge, so no idea why my package went to another city and not sure what "intercepted" really means. I checked my shipping address and it was correct. But it's being returned to Nordstrom. I contacted customer service chat, and they put in a ticket for logistics/delivery department to investigate and get back to me. So odd. This is the second issue I had with shipping.

The other one was a NAS item, and I never heard back from customer service after telling them I wasn't looking for a refund but wanted to know why the tracking number hasn't updated in over 10 days. They first refused to refund me (which I didn't ask for), so I sent them an email explaining the situation. Then I get an email saying I was getting a refund. And I wrote back that wasn't what I requested. But never heard back.

I received a follow up this morning that my “request for a refund” was denied. So now I have to send another email to explain what happen and provide the details of the shipping (same screenshot above).

Both of these shipping incidents are not my fault and I would hate for it to be two strikes against me/my account

I ordered it the first day of icon but then it was back ordered until early August. It shipped a couple days ago. I’m curious about the size too since I’m only 5’3.

You should take a look @ TJs & Marshalls for the Kyodan brand. I have a lot of apparel from that line (maybe a dozen different leggings) & think it's excellent quality. They also carry it on Amazon but the prices @ local stores are generally less expensive.

Customer service has sucked so bad this year having to call in. Trash.

**Quick question on FedEx shipping** One item I ordered on 7/19 was shipped on 7/25, but has been sitting in transit with fedex since then. It was supposed to be delivered 7/30 but has been in pending status since last week. When do you think should I follow up with Nordstrom to see where it is? I know there are delays due to volume but if it’s lost somewhere with FedEx I want to raise concerns sooner rather than later!

Quick update as the sale is ending: my previous posts mentioned that I was at 50% cancellation rate (6/12 items canceled) but fortunately, I was able to wishlist-stalk 4 of the items that had originally canceled on me, and they actually shipped!

The remaining 2 canceled items were 2 different sizes of the On Cloud shoes, and after looking through my overflowing closet I realized that I don’t need another pair of NIB running shoes right now, especially at $100. But at least this gave me a goal to work through my other couple pairs over the next year, which means working out more (thanks, 2020). And maybe next NAS I can look at new shoes, lol

I couldn’t have said it better myself!
I think it’s very brave of you to be as honest as you have.

I love this thread so much and look forward to all of our excitement, the frenzy, disappointment and try ons! I hope you also know we are here to support you, so girl don’t be embarrassed. We got you.

Tomorrow is my 25th anni of my 29th birthday! Today my three kids and I headed up to our local Nordys (40 miles away) had lunch and did all my returns. I had 31 items!!! But I’m pretty organized and have a regular gal I go to. We have a good system. While I did return 31 items I’m sure I’m still not done. The only thing I know I’ll be keeping for sure are the TB lug boots, the tan sneaks I bought for $59 and a $59 black duster. All in all not bad.

Have an awesome, fun outing with your kids today!

I had a similar issue. I purchased NAS sunglasses early July, which was shipped via LaserShip. The packaged was received on July 16, which is also the last date of activity on the package. I called customer service and they stated the package was deemed lost due to no activity in over 2 weeks. Nordstrom has since refunded my cc the amount.

I'm assuming shipping speeds are slightly slower, since there are higher order volumes due to the NAS, but if it's still showing as not shipped by the end of the week, I would call and ask if the package is lost or they're unable to fulfill the order now. If so, kindly ask for a refund to your card. & if you really want the tee, just try to re-order.

Lasership lost my package as well, and it was the only box with multiple items in it from my 7/16 order. I'm not trying to reorder any of it.

I have returned about 25 total, as well, and will likely have a few more. I haven't been happy with the quality of items. Today got a dress with crooked stitching that is fraying.

You’re not the only one! My SO said they are going to ban me for having so many returns. Items weren’t available in-store so I often ordered multiple sizes. Then some things that looked cute online looked like clown clothing on my petite frame. (Is clown clothing the look for Fall 2021? Pants are a challenge.)

Anniversary sale saga:

Goal - Need a couple of basic sweaters.

Dilemma - Don't know if you need a L or XL.

Shopping craziness - You find the sweater you like and want it in pink and black. The L is all sold out so you buy the XL. A few days later, the XL in black gets canceled. You check online 5 minutes after the cancelation email and it's in stock. You buy it again. There is also now a different color you like in a L so you buy it for size comparison because the L in pink and black are still sold out. A few days later none have shipped. You look online again and all the sizes have been restocked. You buy the pink and black in L in case the XL is too big, the sale is going to end soon, and they might sell out again. Then you look online some more and find a very similar sweater from the same brand on regular sale in other colors so you buy those, too... you know, for comparison.

Sigh.

…and then you check your Account Summary and gasp at the current balance. (Gah!)

Is anyone else not seeing their balance going down after returns and payments? I know I keep buying stuff (heh) and I’m not great at math, but the balance is still a bit off according to my pen and paper calculations. Hopefully the returns and payments settle before the next statement so I can plan the Great NAS Balance Payoff of 2021 (ain’t gonna be in a single month after the damage I’ve done. Oops.)
