Additional 40%? When does that come around? See this is why I need this thread. laugh out loud
Normally it goes 40% pretty soon after it goes 20%.

I just thought about pa's. I forgot their policy. We need k to chime in. There may not be a reason to wait!

I guess I will wait then. Smilie

Okay fashionistas when do you stop wearing boots? Do you put them away in Spring? Since I live in Florida it's hot pretty much all year round so I can't go by how warm the weather is. I am debating on wearing my favorite boots tonight with skinny jeans to dinner/drinks tonight with friends. We're just going to a sports type grill. I need a pedi and am feeling lazy so I wanted to do boots. Opinions.

These are the boots: (I also own them in brown and I love them!)

PA within 14 days of order date. If you order now, and the 40% off comes in within 14 days, you can call and they will credit back the difference. i was just thinking about it, and with the way the 20% off came in a couple of days, the 30% should kick in soon, then the 40%. note that you want to make sure you don't pa at 30% off right away. you can only pa once, so you may want to wait for the max, which has been 40%.

i spent my morning so far with express cs. i had some pa's done. process was not as fast as i remember.

a bo bracelet i really wanted is now cancelled. they didn't bother to update me prior to this. i had to ask about it.

after the call, i realized i didn't receive the seed bracelet i ordered. i didn't forget i ordered it, i was waiting on it, and didn't realize that it was with the order i received already a week ago. it just occured to me as i revisited my order confirmation emails for my cs call. i called back, they probably think i was just trying to screw them, because i complained i lost my coupon in the bo item in my first call. both reps i spoke with don't understand this concept. they said i didn't lose anything because i didn't get charged. i lost the opportunity to get a discount! i can get replacement and they will apply the coupon value, but they won't apply the spring sale price.

when i told them about the bracelet i didn't receive, of course, the rep thought i was talking about the bo bracelet. what a headache trying to explain. she came back telling me the weight of the package when it left them is the same as when it was delivered. it was a bracelet, how much difference would it make for a package weighing more than a pound Doh i don't think there are conclusions that can be made about that. now i'm wondering, why are they investigating if a package was the same weight. it will be one of two things: (1) it didn't get packed or (2) the customer is lying. what does that accomplish anyway? at first i thought it was reason (2), i'm giving them the benefit that they are actually thinking (1).

i'm not loving express right now.

all this talk about PA's reminds me of something odd that i heard in passing when i was at the mall last weekend. unfortunately, i can't remember which store this was in. Doh
i remember hearing an SA tell a customer that while they do PA's, they only apply them when you bought an item full price and then it goes on sale later. they do not apply them if they're already on sale and go on sale even more.
i want to say that it was in express, because i only went to a few stores that day: sephora, vs, and express, and i was in express the longest. but i can't say for certain - my brain is not working with me right now. does anyone know who could have been making this lousy rule? i don't think it'd be VS... or, wait, could it? Facepalm

I wear my classic boots year round. I only wear the winter ones when it is cold out.

Some cs reps are better than others hug.]

actually for LOFT-though online the policy says they don't PA for sale items, they do it in store as long as it is within 7 days. I PA'ed at two different stores and both did them for me. The funny thing was that surprisingly, the sale price actually varied based on item between stores.

I felt so lucky that I was able to PA a coat purchased @$50 after discounts + opening a new CC acct to a steal at $24.99 when their clearance hit rock bottom. Originally the coat cost $168! Was soo excited about that ^_^
