RETIRED - The Official VS, Express, Beauty & more Thread

Oh ew! I know it's been pretty hot up there - my family in Michigan is acting like it's the end of the world. I guess what upsets me isn't even just the one per account thing, but the inability to use the cert with a free shipping code as well. Jerks. I may complain to them a little bit later. I'm trying to see if there is even anything I really want right now The bras were just stupid cheap when the codes overlapped. Now nothing seems worthwhile.

I ordered some bras last night with mine. At least I was able to put some to good use.

They don't say anything about being 1 per customer or not stacking with shipping. They do say they exclude entire order discounts and clearance. What bs.

It is really hot up here. I should have stayed at the beach.

I never got any with my orders, but if they are a PITA I'll pass trying to contact VS, they have stopped answering my emails, lol, I wounder if they have an alternate email ...

Yeah - I am so close to the beach and have no time!!

The bra deal last night was awesome. I don't think we'll get anything close to that again. I really was really bummed about it – even though it isn't a huge deal I'm getting kinda burnt out on VS. Nothing great coming up, them being stupid…ugh. The other thing I noticed now is they charge an extra $4 if you wear a DD, or DDD. The quality at VS isn't impressive at all. It seems like they charge more for their items and the quality is decreasing. 2 pairs of lacie panties I bought during SAS came apart at the seams, one pair of cotton panties came apart after less than 10 washes, the one incredible bra I had stretched all out and got those gross elastic string things on it super fast, not to mention I bought 3 pairs of yoga pants in the same size and all 3 fit different. Same cut and everything. During the SAS, one of the bras I received to try on was stained. Seriously VS?! It looked like a lipstick stain. Grossed me out.

I have NO problem paying for quality and paying for good customer service. VS isn't offering either of those as of late.

Only thing is I actually *need* a nude and a black bra, so I may use my certs on those. Other than that, I'm kind of "blah" about VS now. I think their stuff is getting ridiculous in price. $52 for a basic, plain, non embellished one color DA Demi bra? Meh.


/rant. Again

i'm so out of the loop. i was awake last night but i was unaware there were great deals to be had.

with everything you said. now i may send back my lacies i got yesterday. i bought some with the 20% code.

Well I hate to be someone who just sounds grumpy and like they can't be satisfied, but if I had paid even close to full price for anything I got at SAS it would have went back. The Supermodel Essentials pants – since having the little one my thighs rub a little more than they used to, but seriously – after ONE wear they were pilling between the legs and my whole house had black fleece bits all over from the INSIDE of my pants. For $19.99, they are super comfy and I feel they are worth that, but when I see them at $62 now? The angel tees I ordered stretched out and looked horrible after 5 hours, it was shapeless and limp. The lacie panties make me so sad because they are my favorite panties ever. But now the special price is 3 - $33?

Hopefully it's just a bad run and things will get better. I'm not saying things are always bad quality because they aren't, they just are not up to par for the price.

I start running again on Monday. I'm going to give it 2 full months of working out before I buy any new clothes – but I may jump back in to express. The items I bought from there a couple years ago still look great and have held up good. Plus you ladies have taught me so much!!!

Express clothes are great for the price if you know how to shop it. Lots of people say they are expensive but I don't think so. I wouldn't pay full price for anything that VS makes. I'm keeping the bra top dresses and some of the swimsuits and bras. That's it.

I never pay full price for anything I don't think the prices at Express are expensive when I see the sale prices you girls get. I think it's really reasonable for the quality.

The only things from VS I am keeping are the bras, sweats, and the panties I have already. The rest of the shirts and everything else will be going back - really disappointed this time.

It's ok though - you know that just means more money to spend somewhere else!

On another note - I listed all of my VS tote bags, dogs, beach towels and other GWP stuff on ebay and over the last month I have made over $500. Granted about $200 of that was some cosmetics stuff I had sitting around unopened, but a good bit was all VS items.

I only pay full price if I think it won't go on sale. I also pay full price for shoes sometimes mainly because I'm a size 4.

Gah! Girl you have some TINY feet! I have huge ol' feet - I wear a 9 or 9.5

Even at full price though express isn't terribly priced. At least I don't think it's ridiculous. Man, now I want to go shopping!
