Thanks. It says Picked Up by Shipping Agent on the 30th, then Picked Up & Processed on the 3rd. When should it get to VS? That seems like a lot of time, between picking up & processing. I'm afraid it's going to get lost. It had about $160 worth of merchandise in it.
I cannot assist with the timetable. I always use the UPS return label. I keep saying that I am going to test it out to get a general idea, but I have yet to do so.

It is not going to disappear. PRS labels do not have VS address on them. Many companies use the service. Not sure of all the ins and outs, but it seems that there is a sorting warehouse that the agent delivers the parcels before it gets to the proper company. Hence, the reason is takes longer than using the UPS label.

Any recommendations for the prettiest lingerie in person? I don't want anything that snaps, has a garter, or is for role play. I already ordered this http://www.victoriassecret.com/ss...vsdWrapper, & I want to order a few more. It would be great, if it was on sale, but it doesn't have to be. All suggestions will be very much appreciated. Girly

That's encouraging, thanks. Smilie In that case, I'm definitely using UPS from now on.

it won't get lost. but it will take a long time. USPS return labels are always a pain in the biotch. i used the urban outfitters one and i think it took 3 weeks for them to get my item. Annoyed same with asos - it always takes forever.

i always use UPS. i love that it's trackable so i know exactly when it arrives at the VS dock. (usually about a week after it gets picked up/dropped off). i like that i can drop it off at any ups store. some stores are even nice enough to print out a return confirmation for me that has the weight and the tracking # on the packages. i would suggest you use the UPS instead from now on bc it's a much better way. the USPS was a convenience they started doing for ppl who don't want to leave the house, i assume. but i don't find it too difficult to drop by a UPS when i'm out doing errands.

I just got thisbikini [victoriassecret.com] today. It's hot. I love it. It actually looks the same way on me it does on Candice!

There are two gold tone circular hardware at the back, one on each side, where the straps are. I didn't expect it, even though it's in the description, there are 3 large pink/purple stones/jewels fastened on the O-ring.

The little tying thing on the bottom can be tied into a bow or let loose as pictured.

LOOOVE IT!

AND YES! I had those!!! I wore those circle things with pride too. We're crazy. I swear. I hope children's fashions would be more normal in the future...?
I don't think there's any hope there. It's just a cycle we're all doomed to repeat Wink
Quote from GoHeels :
I had lots of those plastic circles. We wore them with long tie-dye tops & leggings. Dressing like that was in at the time. laugh out loud

Quote from annicus :

... if you consider boys' skinny jeans to be normal... i know i wouldn't want my son to be wearing skinnies!!
LMAO Oh the stuff we have in common! You know I saw them trying to bring those circle things back a year or so ago. Luckily, it didn't stick this time 'round! On the boys skinny pants- I don't mind a leaner cut pant- I mean, remember KrissKross? Not only were the pants gigantic, but they were wearing them backwards (how does that work at the urinal exactly?!). Rockers have worn skinny jeans for ages... so, I might tease my hypothetical boy a bit, but I'd also give him a pat on the back for having "balls" to try to carry it off. Unless he was going to sag them vomit Hardly anything is more gross than guys wearing skinny jeans and sagging them for that web-crotch effect.

Quote from IceyNiki :
No need to be sorry. I return a high volume of items. It began happening to me within the last 12 months. I have never used a fill-in form, so it is not due to that. It is not a big deal. I usually purchase items at the price I am willing to pay anyway.
Thanks for the heads-up on this. Smilie

I second aznflame on the starry babydoll (the one you can buy in cup sizes) . I have a version of that and I love it. Purchased at last SAS for around $20. Feels very well made and I feel sexier when the girls are at the proper altitude laugh out loud

Glad you love it. I love the black, white, and pink color scheme!
Quote from CrazyCatJade :
It's terrible. I have been trying for my sis since she is always at work and NADA. It's unreal, everything is gone within about 30 seconds. Yet I keep trying.

Aww! I hate it when my work does that and expects me to be productive instead of shopping. Jerks. laugh out loud

Alvs - the swim tote is wonderful! I LOVE IT! I am glad you posted something about it, it makes me happy Smilie It is perfect for what I was looking for!

Last two VS packages came in, and thanks to the umbrella and tote, I wasn't too disappointed in my last two SRC's being $10. Good thing I got a $50 on the FB promo otherwise I would be at all tens again.

mine are going down and out EEK!
I didn't realize mine were as saggy as they were. I knew I wanted them bigger and the right one was a bit bigger. Omg, now I realize they were saggy EEK!. Anyways, I am so happy with the results so far from the surgery and so happy that I decided to do it. I'll email you the before/ after nakey pics if you want in a few weeks. I'm in love with my boobs Facepalm. I get men more.

3 weeks! EEK! Definitely no more USPS returns for me. I wish I'd asked about this sooner.

Thanks for all the recommendations. I already had the first one in my wish list in soft plum. I'm glad you like it. The starry babydoll is gorgeous. It would have been my first lingerie purchase. Unfortunately, they don't have my size. I added the 3rd one to my list. I don't have anything in red, so that will be good. My DH likes for me to wear red. I'll consider the last one too. Thanks so much for the suggestions. I really appreciate it. hug

You've all convinced me to use UPS from now on. Where were you all, before I sent my package via USPS? Stick Out Tongue

I've been admiring that suit, since I got the swim catalog. I could never pull it off, but I bet you look really hot in it. Good choice. nod

I'm going to try to avoid going down those fashion disaster roads the 2nd time around. Some things shouldn't be repeated, but everything inevitably is. shake head People make fun of the fashion preceding them, then all of a sudden love it when it comes back around. laugh out loud

$20 is great for that babydoll. woot I was willing to pay full price, if they had my size. That's saying a lot, because I always balk at full price.
