laugh out loud You might need to break that return up so UPS doesn't ruin your plan. They can't be trusted not to take anything if the box falls apart.
I've had good luck with it so far, but I know what you're saying. DH ordered something and the tracking had all of these notes on it like
12:15pm - package damaged
12: 17pm - package open, contents missing
12:20pm - empty packaging discarded .
I'm sure that's just how they document it, but it reads like they are giving you the play-by-play of how they ripped the box open, stole the thumbdrive and threw the box away laugh out loud

Wow! They never go through all that trouble with me. They usually just "lose it in transit" but they don't even document that. They just let it look like it was stuck when I track it.

Right now I'm in the process of keeping my fingers crossed because a gift card for a return that was processed on the 5th isn't here yet! Gotta love the mail systems.

Comfort I got all bagillion of my GC's back, but they did send them to the original ordering address and not the new address (I made a note on this for every single order form!) for them to send to. If you have moved, watch out for that and good luck Thumbup

Thanks. I know I am gonna get bonked soon by someone for not knowing it Hide

I still don't know what this firework bra looks like.Thanks MBA studies and my winter course professor I am so out of loop. I might have seen it but I don't know which one is it Embarrassment

ETA: is this the one ? http://assets.nydailynews.com/pol.../image.jpg
Liggy I think u r technically right. That is what VS called the fireworks bra. The pale pink one is actually referred to in the catalog as the Starburst bra laugh out loud

Damn. Now someone mentioned the matching thong and I sorta want that laugh out loud

Del Amo Mall update, upstairs store.
They had fewer bras, but way more panties. Sleepwear selection was meh, but was an additional 50% off. They had edible massage oil and dusting powder at 75% off along w/ the perfumes (lots of those). No bath gels left, some lotion, lots of tanner stuff. Not much beauty. They had swim on clearance/sale as well. Would not take my survey Q. They had the swarovski thong (i found 2 of them, but didn't buy). Both Del Amo stores had a decent selection of bridal stuff, good time to pick it up!

I haven't moved but I did have trouble with a GC before. They made me wait like 20 days before finally giving in and emailing it to me.

oOoo thanks! what did they have? i was sorta looking for a garter but wasn't sure if they even made any. i saw a tiara/sash in santa anita store but didn't buy it. i guess i think it's weird to get all that stuff for myself, but it shouldn't matter, right?

ooh was that the thong that matches the pale pink "firework" bra? If anyone finds this in an XS, S, or M can they pick one up for me? I know it's a long shot but I would love that!! TY!!

wait ! so MC/GC gets shipped to the address on which the original order shipped? I changed the address on old account on which i ordered it and created the new account with same name and new addy -vs linked it both -so all those order got in to new account.

I think I what I understood from you post is right then it might create a new problem for me Scratchhead

Very interesting what you said there about supplements. Since I've gone to my cardiologist, he said to stop taking supplements unless you are shown to have a deficiency. He said that there was a study that came out that showed that supplements could be harmful instead and decrease your life span.

So that scared me! I will only take what I need now per the doctor after I finish what I have.

Are you looking for bridal garter? I will say that Puente Hills has a lot of bridal garter stuff in the past during wedding season, so spring/summer. If you need, probably good place to head and look if you don't find what you need at SAS.

I can keep an eye out for you, just let me know.

Be careful with the supplements. I messed up (Vit D, Ca2+, cranberry, Rx + not drinking enough water) and got a bladder infection. Urgent care said taking too many supplements/vitamins etc. at once can irritate the lining of the bladder, especially if you aren't drinking enough water. I concur on Annicus' D recommendation too- read up on Vit D- it's more of a hormone (there are receptors for it) than your typical vitamin... it has an autoregulatory function- keeps your system in check. It could be of help to those with autoimmune disease- good results with multiple sclerosis in the lab. Many of you know I have an autoimmune dz, and taking Vit D keeps me from needing steroids. (oddly enough, discovered this when battling osteoporis a few years ago- Calcium + D supplement was keeping my numbers up, even when off the steroid!) . In summary, Vitamin D = Whee . Last note, the source of calcium makes a difference in comfort: Calcium Citrate (Citracal) is easier to digest than Calcium Carbonate (Caltrate). Caltrate used to make me nauseous - I was told that was because it relies on the acid of your stomach to digest it and if you don't have enough, you'll throw up. Citracal has never given me a problem.
Iagree about calcium citrate vs carbonate. they usually only recommend calcium citrate to older folk, but i feel like why risk upsetting your stomach if you don't have to?

also, vitamin D3 is supposedly easier to absorb than normal vitamin D.

that said, i don't take calcium supplements. i'm scared of over-taking (and both calcium and D are fat soluble, which means you can overdose on it). i will take B and C in larger quantities kuz you just pee out what you don't absorb. (this is why your pee sometimes turns yellow when you take multivitamins or B vitamins)
