Ok, I must have had my head in the clouds yesterday because I selected in-store pickup (rather than shipping) for the four items I purchased. Haven’t received a cancellation notice, my order shows as being in process, but I also didn’t receive the e-mail saying they’d honor the purchases if made with a Nordy card (which I did). Anyone else in this boat? My items are supposed to be ready for pickup today but I can’t imagine them letting me walk around the store with a shopping bag full of Anniversary Sale merchandise.
I was so excited to check out I had my items shipped to the nearby Nordstrom Rack. I haven’t received an email and my items haven’t shipped yet. I only bought a few things that I really really wanted so I hope I get them
 
Ive been an Ambassador/Icon on and off since pre Covid and a Nordstrom shopper for the past five decades. There are glitches EVERY YEAR. It is what it is for me, I’m not bummed that Influencers or anyone was able to get in an order during the literal one hour it was open. For me, that’s the fun of these first world problems. I completely agree the selection is not what it used to be, or the quality for that matter. But I remember when you could walk into school and smell pigs in a blanket being prepared for lunch, or buy a blazer with full lining, or have your clothes steamed at the store prior to them placing them in a garment bag before you take them home. Things are just not as they used to be. We can choose to shop with them or take our money elsewhere. I live in the PNW and Nordstrom is a PNW company. So I’m pretty loyal to them. And I’ve had some pretty horrific experiences with them through the years racial profiling and other ugliness, but I do what I can to let the powers that be know and keep it moving. Life is too short for anything less.

Off to add that darling three piece Open Edit Jammie’s to my list.
Great reminder. As an Icon surprisingly bumped to Ambassador this year, these are definitely first world problems. I was working and missed the excitement yesterday. I scanned the first page of the preview and quickly got back to work but I'm sure it must have been a fun time. I've learned not to say there's nothing that interests me this year because I say that almost every year and as the sale progresses, it's like they fine tune and either add things I do end up liking or things I didn't think I'd like turn out better than I thought, so we'll just see :)
 
It seems to me that the least Nordstrom could do is to allow Icons to select their own two hour window online between now and when they would otherwise start to shop, and purchase what they want. I’m an Ambassador, but think that the Icons are paying the highest price for the IT mess-up. Let them shop early for two hours of their choosing to give them some “compensation” for the potential harm caused.

Thats a good idea actually, it sounds reasonable for them to program on their end!

And ambassadors should get the same compensation!
 
Does anyone have this? Do you like it?
I have it but I use it so infrequently I might as not have it! :lol:

I think the key to seeing results is consistency so if you can commit to doing it religiously it's a great tool.

Here's a link to a review from Bydie:

 
I think this is an extremely well thought out and well-written post. You’ve crystallized my exact thoughts about both the snafu and the offerings thus far. Thank you!
Thank you! I think the older I get realize life is too short. For me, shopping is purely recreational and I choose not to spend my time or money unless it’s something enjoyable. I plan on checking to see if my items are available on the 12th but if not, I’m not going to bother with it. I live in an area with excellent shopping options and all the brands I love are sold in stores many within walking distance. I don’t purchase a ton of clothing but purchase a few classic timeless pieces each year. I lived in scrubs for 50 years so I’m probably atypical. The pandemic put life into perspective. At the end of the day, it’s just stuff.

Uh oh. I can not commit. I’m the one who bought a Peloton because I was sure I’d use it and never got past setting it up for a ride. :P Thanks for the input. I’ll pass on this one.
 
Here are the three items coming today. I’ll report back once they come and try them on.

I am interested in the Madewell jeans too! Please let us know your thoughts on fit. I'm a size 6 in cuts--except the slim cut! :blush:

Also, the joggers look super cute! I hadn't even noticed those before! When you try them on, let us know if they make noise when you walk from the fabric moving:lol:. I hate noisy clothes and shoes!

I carry my weight more in my midsection (apple shape) if that helps. I will report back. I have not noticed any joggers making noise for me ever. I bought these jeans because they are mid rise and I am not a fan of high waist as they squish my midsection. I am a solid size 8 and 5'8". Again I will report back.
 
Funny, I did notice the Add to Cart button during the glitch, but was so focused on creating a wish list, I kept scrolling past the dang button. :lol: Probably for the best because I'm not ready yet and am TRYING to be a good bunny and plan well this year (haw haw haw will still panic buy a thing or five).

Cool that some of you scored goodies and can't wait to get early reviews! Much prefer deets from here over influencers.

Considering the AllSaints Dalby in black since my old Caslon hooded jacket is looking worn. But the Midnight Blue Elora looks nice so any modeling shots of that would be appreciated!
