I have to be honest, as fun as this sale is, shopping at Nordstrom has become exhausting. The orders take a long time to ship and to go through the mail. And returns have been very difficult, am I the only one? In the past few years I've had to follow up on a lot of returns that have been received by nordstrom, both confirmed though tracking and on the order page on their site. I just returned a bra ($50) and they received it earlier this month - the order page stated "Received by Nordstrom" they researched it and claimed basically they can't locate it now and after some discussion they are refunding me but there's a message stating I should insure my packages. What insurance covers loss in their warehouse? This has happened a few times one time I had the shipping weight confirmed for a pair of shoes and they still claimed they couldn't find the return in their warehouse.

I'm just nervous about shopping here anymore if this keeps happening. I just don't have these issues with Saks, Neimans and other stores. Anyone else seeing these issues?

Ever since a poster here did a big haul return during the sale and it got lost, they were sh!t out of luck. I've made a much more effort to return online items IRL when possible. If not always get a receipt for the return. I don't know why they said you should insure the package that's insane. Also aren't things sent first class mail automatically insured for a specific amount? I know for some returning IRL isn't always a option.

I hardly buy from anywhere that I can’t return in person. Saks closed several years ago. I will buy something from Saks once in a blue moon. Last time it was a YSL bag that I had to send back. It gave me heart palpitations dropping off the package at FedEx.

Ugg as long as you get a receipt for the return you're going to be covered. I returned something to saks via USPS because I didn't know they also were accepted by FedEx. I went there because that's the label that was provided. Apparently FedEx picks up the items from usps and after that the tracking stopped. Ended up filing a dispute with Amex because it was over a month since I sent it and was given a refund because of my receipt. Literally 2 months after that saks finally refunded me. I ended up with a double refund. I didn't feel bad about it because of how awful the whole experience was.
 
Fedex is normally great, hardly ever an issue. USPS is very iffy. I'm starting to love Saks, Neiman's and Shopop more for the coupons. Shopbop has more items I like, seems to have the fun stuff nordstrom used to have.
I think Shopbop just started a refund immediately as soon as you scan the return label policy. WOOO!!
 
Okay wow. I had a friend in town over the weekend and just came in to catch up and we went from page 7 to 21. SNEAK PEEKS!

What an exciting 14 pages (other than all the vacuum discussion) :lol: At least now when the amateurs ask us about Dyson on pages 84, 117, 189, 205, and 250 of the thread, we can be like… please see pgs.15-20.

Thank you so much randr21 and sam with the SA book pages. Y’all are amazing and I love you both. I’m obsessed with those cargo pants in the catalogue.

Spreadsheet time! booYAH!
 
Congratulations on your pregnancy - You should definitely get whatever you want!
Thank you!!
I'm right there with you, I can't imagine buying fall/ warm clothes or anything other than comfy stuff right now. Congratulations!
Thank you and Congratulations to you, too!

Agree on the comfy stuff...I plan to be sitting on my couch in my new PJs and diamond necklace, sipping a crisp Fresca and scrolling this thread to see everyone else purchases :lol:
 
Does anyone have great cami recommendations? I have worn the Express Best Loved Cami for decades and they discontinued it!! Looking for some great staples at the Nordy sale. Otherwise targeting Zella, walking shoes (any recs??) and sweaters.

Hahahhahahaha. Just LOLed.

It is sort of tempting to just get a diamond necklace instead of 20 other things that will add up to the same price. I wonder if the Monica vinader necklace is vermeil. It feels weird to get a diamond necklace that isn’t gold. I do love her stuff though. Maybe bony levy will have one too.

I'm hoping that more MV is in the sale, too!!
 
THANK YOU BOTH SO MUCH!!! @randr21 and @Samstartt!

I am really only "needing" a couple pairs of jeans, but I am sure I will find more that I "need."

i love to zoom in on details, and tried to take clear pics from a sheeny mag, w/ setting sun.

i think nas slayed with the colors this year, really wearable yet feels diff n more fresh than recent years.

get those lists ready!

I might be interested in the Dyson vacuum. I know their products are highly rated. Anyone own a Dyson vacuum? and like or dislike it? I think a Dyson vacuum was part of the Anniversary sale a few years back.
We bought a Dyson stick vac last year and love it. I used it on my car the other day (it detaches) and was impressed with how well the suction worked. I haven’t had any issues with it.

Yes, I want yellow gold...so hoping something similar is included vs. the catalogue picture. I bought a MV rose-gold plated turquoise cocktail ring in the 2021 NAS and have LOVED IT. Wear it a lot - to dinner, to the beach, around my kids - and have had no problems with quality or that it's gold-plated. So if MV has something good in the sale I'd definitely be interested!
