Express and VS must hire the same order fulfillment people...
Both have sent me orders in the last 2 weeks with the WRONG item. Last week, that knot strap dress from VS - I ordered it in 2 sizes, one package arrived and instead of the dress, it was a random panty Mad. Just got my Express package and the shorts I ordered were replaced with bright blue gaucho pants Confused . At least with this mix-up , they're the same $$ value.

I have a totally random question... so sorry for being way off topic. But if you ladies order something online and they send you extra merchandise...Do you call in and let them know or just keep it?

And more on topic... Smilie Has anyone called in lately to stack more than 3 codes? I've done it way back when...but not recently. Just curious if CS will do it if you call the order in. TIA!

The last time I was sent an extra item, I returned it as a gift laugh out loud

Haven't tried to add more than 3 codes lately - can't be of help on that part! Sorry!

If anyone has any VS receipts lying around, I would greatly appreciate some info off of them! I am only a few points away from redeeming for a Sexy Little Rewards prize but they're ending it 6/30!

All I need is:

1. Purchase Date
2. Total Purchase Amount (after tax)
3. Transaction Number
4. Store Number
5. Register Number

I know what the "right thing" to do here is, but I agree with kurpee and Crazy. I used to call, now I return it or put it in my "gift" tub.

i'll link them for you:
i bought this one [target.com].
i also want to get this one [target.com] but my store didn't have it.

the fabric one comes in D cup. i'm not sure about the silicone one. it goes S=A, M=B, L=C, XL=D (when you add it to cart it shows you the cup size).

thanks a lot kurpee. now i have ordered your asymmetric top. it comes in snake print too, with a black back. i might like that one more - i haven't decided yet.
Thanks. Unfortunately, the reviews aren't good for DD's. I think I would need to try it on, before buying.

Quote from nerdgirl :
don't blame me - alvs has that dress in all the colors! it's her fault! Stick Out Tongue :coverlaf : but yeah sorry i pointed out the print. it's a cute print!

i would only hesitate bc of the shipping cost.

i'm not sure about their jeans bc i haven't tried any of them on.
Sure, pass the buck, why don't you? Nono1

I figure I'll pay shipping a couple times knowing I'll soon get it free. The end justifies the means & all that. Teehee

Quote from PordaPoddy :
:coverlaf : I've been on a dresses kick too. In the last month from VS- the knot strap dress, from Express- the stripe draped dress, ruched knit in 3 colors, the mesh blue one and 3 from TJ maxx : P Ooopsies! That said- I really try for no duplicates as well from a usage standpoint meaning; if the occasion is right to wear that style/fabric of dress, then you instantly have 2 or 3 other dresses competing to be used for the same event, be it dinner or what not. So each dress would get worn maybe 1x per year, if that. Knowing that- which color/pattern do you gravitate to the most? If you could only wear one, which would it be? It may be a little telling that I love that dress too, but I haven't purchased it yet because of the strapless issue. I bought 4 of the same dress from Macy's a while back and I think each gets worn 1-2x/ year. They collect dust on the hanger because I always try to select a non-strapless dress first.
ETA- I have been putting this into practice ~ I bought dress dupes in blue and green from TJ Maxx and just returned one of them yesterday. It was difficult, but necessary. : nod:
:iagree : could not have worded it better myself! The lining makes me think it will be schwetty. Wolfie's got a pretty good rule too, the print does make it suitable for different settings/moods.
I'm glad I'm not the only one who has been going dress crazy. Except for alvs, that is. She doesn't count. laugh out loud I'm bad to buy clothes in spurts. I went on a bra spree, then swim wear, then shorts, & now dresses. When I start buying, I become obsessed & can't stop, until I move on to something else. EEK! I need to find something cheaper to obsess about.

I said I needed the practical people to tell me what to do. Bonk You & I never think practically. laugh out loud In the end, I compromised. I passed on white & ordered the print. Teehee

That stinks! Boo Express. They shipped the lip gloss with my order that shipped today. I hope they ship the bracelets with the order I placed today. If they do, I'll qualify for FS, when my orders are added to my account. How long does it usually take for them to add the points to your Express Next account?

Ladies, I need an opinion. I had a horrible doctor's office experience yesterday. I'm writing to the office manager. This is my first time reporting anyone, so I want you all to proofread it for me. I'm still upset about the whole incident, so I may not have expressed myself in the most professional way. Please, read it for me & tell me what should be changed. TIA hug
I hope you get this resolved! Looks like the gals gave lots of good feedback!

Hi ladies!! Took the day off work since I have strep right now.. Frown I actually went to work but got sent home because it sounded like I had marbles in my mouth. laugh out loud

My bday is coming up and Express A-List sent me a card for up to $40 off. It has both a store scan code and an online code. Does anyone know if these can be double-dipped?
Feel better!! hug Did anyone answer the Express A-List question? I'm curious myself too. I didn't see anything, but I did skim through a ton of pages.

Quote from GoHeels :
I need some of you with more practical minds to tell me what I should do. laugh out loud Do I really need 4 colors/prints in the same dress? I love that dress & I want all the colors. Here's the but..... I've ordered/bought 11 dresses/skirts recently. I wear them on cruises (10 day, but 2 are formal nights. I have different dresses for those.) & will now wear them to nice dinners, which we do 5 to 10 times a year. There's 2 more dresses I'm definitely buying at Express, when there's a deal. So, should I buy the other 2 colors in the same dress? I don't know what to do. Embarrassment
I am probably not one with a practical mind since I have 4-5 colors of the same dress of multiple dresses...

But! nerdicus asked some great questions.

For me, do you actually see yourself wearing these dresses over and over again? Would it still fit your taste and style? I only buy so many duplicates because I have a hard time of finding dresses I love, so when I find one, I just get it in multiple colors because I know my style and taste will not change. Probably never.

Dresses and skirts don't sit on the same level with me..so you should determine if they do with you.

What you might want to do, just like you said, buy all the colors and try them on and see which is most flattering if you really had to pare it down.

I'm happy Katie and Tom are getting a divorce. That just seemed like a strange marriage.

I am surprised about Adele! After all the songs of heartache...but I'm excited for her and would love to see where her next album will go!

I just keep it if I like it and if I don't and if it's not my size, I send it in as a gift return (this is for VS)

Sorry GH, I'm not sure. Anni would probably know. You can probably test by mock order after they've charged your cc. I'm not sure how fast cc charge translates to next points in their system.

I emailed the office manager & asked her to reply so I would know she received the email. She hasn't gotten back to me yet, but I didn't email until Friday. I didn't really expect her to reply this quickly.

You're more practical than I am. laugh out loud I will wear these particular dresses on cruises & to dinner on other vacations. I doubt I'd wear them around here much. They're a little sexier than I would normally wear here. Like you, I rarely find a dress I love. If I'm still impressed when I wear it awhile, this particular dress will be my favorite of the dresses I've bought. I ordered green, blue, & print. I've also ordered a blue print dress, so I may return the blue. It depends on how it looks on me.

Do you still need receipts? I'll try to send you some, if you do.

The order that shipped yesterday showed up today on Express Next. woot I already have a reward. laugh out loud When my other order registers, I'll qualify for FS. If I return enough to get me under 7,500 points, will they take FS away? I'm sure it wouldn't take me long to get back up to 7,500, but it would be nice to get FS on those orders too.
