can express gurus let me know how they do PA's if you used tier code? just trying to decide if i should bother calling, since it's a little difficult for me to do so while at work.

else i'll just reorder/return, tho it gets to be a little annoying returning bc it takes so long. but they're pretty nice at my store at least.

also someone talk me out of ordering at perfumania - i got some perfume at sephora and of course i can get a much better deal with the perfumania deal now, but i had sephora gc's so it was "free money". laugh out loud sigh can't decide if i should spend another $60...

ahh. i need to PA but i used the tier. will that affect it? it was the 50 off 150 and 20% would bring my total below 150.

boo! wish i had waited... lol. Frown my skirt is now cheaper too, but i also used tier (10 off 30) on it before rewards.
how they pa is ymmv i think. most of the times they consider your price paid after coupons.

Offtopic:

I was having random chat with a couple girls I work with, and I commented that I just finished paying off a couple of my smaller medical bills from delivery. She said, "I never pay those things. I let them get sent to my credit and then fight them, because the HIPAA law won't let them release the information to verify it and I never have to pay it."

Without being able to stop myself, I replied, "Yeah, and people who do that are the reason it just cost me $4,000 in medical bills." I wasn't trying to be mean, it's just so frustrating to do the right thing, pay your bills and have people walk around proud of getting out of them. Another girl at the front desk replied, "No, you are paying $4,000 in medical bills because you used that much in service." Facepalm

If you have 100 people come through an office and it only costs $1 to treat each person, but only 5% of people are going to pay, you then would charge $20 per person and those who pay make up for those who don't. Why can't people see that?

Sorry - not trying to make this a debate or a podium post laugh out loud, I just get frustrated.

On topic - my two VS orders from LAST TUESDAY are going to be here today! My order from Friday will be here tomorrow!
That really sucks! I'm sorry that you have such terrible co-workers. It seems like they make it harder for everyone and the hospitals and you're paying the price! That would make me mad too!

Depends on the price difference and if you're willing to make that hassle. You could be using that "Free money" on something else...laugh out loud

I use Fragrance X for all my perfumes. Not sure if what you're looking for is cheaper there.

i'm a little worried about returning too much (i thought i was going to keep the perfume order!) but i ended up ordering from perfumania.

it's not available at your site (thanks for the site rec tho!) - i really like the new floral issey - since it's new i guess it's a little bit harder to come by. it's not even very discounted on perfumania but with the 10 off 50 and 25% off i can get the larger size for how much i paid for the smaller size on sephora.

Yep, that tends to be the case with me too nod

Maybe you could space out your returns just before it hits the 60 day policy or something. Not sure if it was 90?

yeah, i'm probably going to do that. i haven't ordered much lately so i won't be returning a lot these next few months i think. at least with perfume, it's shrinkwrapped so it's not like i'm returning used stuff (not that they care but it makes me feel better).
