I had some items cancel yesterday afternoon and of course this morning they are in stock at full price. :annoyed:


My phone keeps dinging with items that are miraculously back in stock today at full price. It feels like they decided on a certain amount to sell at a discount ,but actually had more stock. I know things get returned, but seriously a lot seems to be in stock today
 
Okay, I was woken up repeatedly from 12:10-12:45 last night as my phone systematically informed me that each of my wishlist items was back in stock….. How effing obnoxious!!! Maybe it was the loss of sleep factor but it really pushed me over the edge of my patience…. I scared my husband with my blind assault of my phone in the dark accompanied by exclamations of “oh come on!!” And an enthusiastic “F**K YOU!!!!!” After the tenth happy ding.
:mad::tdown:
 
One of my items canceled and then popped back up online this morning. I decided to reorder and then chat with customer service to get a price adjustment.

"Hello. The Steve Madden Hayle Platform Chelsea Boot (Women) from order XXX was canceled after six days since I placed the order. During that time, I saw the boots pop back in stock in that color and size a couple of times. I saw it pop back up this morning, so I ordered it again - order #XXX. Is there a way for me to get a price adjustment from the canceled order to the new order this morning?"

I was told that I needed to wait until the order shipped to get a price adjustment. I got a reference number, so hopefully it will not be an issue later.

Many things that were OOS yesterday popped back up as available today for full price. Hmmmm.
 
While it is obnoxious that they notify people, I guess I always figured that they had a certain number of items earmarked for the sale, not ALL of their inventory of the item. They just had fewer items earmarked this year (for understandable reasons). The problem isn't that items are back in stock at regular price; the problem is the PR of informing customers that their now full-price items are back, minutes after the sale ends.
 
I just received my Free People Ombré sweatshirt. One seam where the sleeve meets the cuff looks fine, but the other is totally ragged! I’ve never owned any FP and see that all the seams on this sweatshirt are exposed. For those of you familiar with the brand - do these sweatshirts hold up to washing without shredding with the exposed seams? I also can’t believe that the one ragged cuff is ‘normal’. I’m hoping to be able to bring it back to my local Nordies and just exchange it for a better one. Will they do that post sale or is that just wishful thinking?

I received one of my orders today with a shirt that was too big. I chatted online with a rep to see if I could order the size down at NAS price. The rep placed the "exchange" order at NAS price and I just have to return the bigger one. They have done this in the past but I wasn't sure if they would this year since there have been changes over the past year or two to their policies. Hope this helps others thinking of exchanging sizes.
 
I visited a store this weekend and after chatting with an SA for a few minutes, she told me that if I come into the store after the sale ends and see replenished stock for sale items I was looking for, her store manager authorized their SAs to honor the NSale price. She was under the impression that was just an in-store thing. Even she was surprised by the low quantities of everything the store received and how quickly everything sold out. I suspect the manager recognized this and is trying to help the SAs whose hands are tied.
If anyone is wondering, this was the Walnut Creek store in California. I was REALLY hoping for the Veronica Beard dickey and the Riess cargo joggers. Both sold out during Icon and never popped back…..even today they remain out of stock. I’ll be watching for them like a hawk though!

I was really wanting the VB Dickey too! I never saw it available at all. Did they even have it at the icon level? I wanted this and a pair of Monica Vinader hoops. I have yet to see either available.

TY for the intel! This is my store as well. We had dinner reservations at Flemings over the weekend and I stopped by to browse not expecting to find much, but I was still surprised that they had NO Natori cotton underwear left. I kept looking for the yellow AS signage but they must’ve completely sold out.
