Ok so I called back and now they're supposed to be sending the giftcards to my email. Still didn't let me speak to a manager so I don't feel all that much better, but I'll deal if it actually works out this time.Roll Eyes (Sarcastic)

I'm super nervous about the next set of giftcards I have coming now though. They really should put delivery confirmations on those things.

you gals made me try them on again. the xs is better in holding it in because it's a little tighter (but not much). the problem i can see with it though is the possibility of it squeezing stuff out up top of the bum booster. i wear it high though, it lays on a non-fatty portion.
What's the link to this bum booster? I tried to click on the previous links and it's showing me the scarf?! So I thought, rolled up scarf to boost bum on the bottom?! Roll

Agreed! So we'd know what happened if they got lost!
I'm glad things are sorted out.

I honestly think if they put a little box on the return slip that we could check to spend a $1.00 of our refund money on delivery confirmation for the giftcards a lot of us would do it. It doesn't cost much to send a tiny envelope with confirmation.

generally usps does not allow dc on flat envelopes, only on packages, so i don't think that would work. but it would definitely help in sending these things...

True, but generally I'm at work all day and when I get back, the Post Office is closed and I would be upset to have to wait til Saturday to get it, but the place where I can pick up my mail isn't open on Saturday. Figures.

I wish there was a fool-proof way. Sigh. EGC would be great!

I had that problem too. There's a whole thread about it that I used to have stickied. (I'll try to find it.) Mine eventually correct itself but some people had to contact their CS.

ETA: Here's the thread. It's not too helpful though. Hope you can get your working.

Thanks hug It is feeling a little better - it's just a bitch when I forget it hurts and turn my head really fast laugh out loud

Quote from Cheapeats :
I am SO mad at VS right now. You guys know how I sent in returns and got return confirmations for them on November 25th but never got the gift cards in the mail. Well on about Wednesday of last week I called them and the CS rep said they were shipped so give it a full 10 business days so I gave it until then. On Saturday I called back and that CS rep said they shipped them but she would email them to me since I never got them and it would take up to 5 days to get the emails.

Well today I got an email for a SRC instead of the gift cards from my exchanges so I called them and told them all this and now the CS on the phone said it didn't look like they were ever shipped so he's sending them out by mail and it can take up to 10 days!

Of course by this point I'm super fed up since I don't know if he's wrong or if the other two reps didn't bother to look and see if they were sent out. I asked to speak to someone in charge but he claims no one was available and he'll have someone call me back. I hope they don't think I'm letting this go without them at least putting all this crap on record.
Quote from azn1x6flame :
Sorry to hear. This is one of the reasons why I've stopped shopping with VS so much. You can call back and immediately ask for a supervisor. That's what I've done and the rep tries to mitigate it. Sometimes they're nice, other times they're not. If they ask about the conversations you had, challenge them to bring up the phone recordings. I've done that and they freaked out.

Good luck!! Stand your ground
I hate hate HATE when companies won't let you speak to a supervisor. I don't take no for an answer and I don't get off the phone until my problem is solved. Good luck and I am sorry you are going through this!!

Quote from GoHeels :
My VS orders from Sat. have shipped. woot There's no tracking info yet. I hope they arrive soon.
Mine started to ship - yay!!

Quote from GoHeels :
I hope my orders have one. They're probably not putting them in the orders now though. The promo ends soon. I'm regretting not placing orders earlier in Dec to use my SRCs. I'll know better next year. Evillaugh
I have some showing up tonight - I hope hope hope hope hope my PJ's have SRC's in them!

Quote from GoHeels :
I hope your day gets better. Comfort
hug

Thanks so much Smilie I'm doing better. I got a TON done on my lunch hour. I even went and bought another pair of the black boyfriend pants with the stitching.

If any of you ladies buy them and haven't tried them on - they are HUGE and they stretch a lot. They do not shrink back after stretching either! Just a warning!

Quote from annicus :
speaking of trying on again, liggy i tried on the curve loving sweater again last night, and decided it's going back. it's so weird that it accentuates my fat while the cotton thermal does not. Dontknow wish i didn't have my tummy/love handles...
The term love handles just makes me giggle with the mental image I get. It never fails Teehee

I hate that too so EGS would probably be the best way. Again it would be easily do-able for them they just need to put a box and a check mark on the return slip so we can choose that option. It would save paper too!
