Express finally got back to me about the double point email I sent on July 4th. They did give me points. As a matter of fact, I think they gave me quite a bit more than I qualified for. It was 60 points short of a $15 reward. Woot Anyway, the email made it sound like a courtesy not policy. She said the points are awarded by ship date instead of order date. I won't be ordering late in the month expecting extra points again.

Did I read there's a way to look up reviews at Express for items that are no longer available? I ordered the Halter Cowl Neck Dress in black & white print that is similar to the black & white print in this dress http://www.express.com/strapless-...pro#jsLink. I already have the linked dress, but the cowl neck dress was so cheap I decided to try it. It was about 3 am, so I didn't take time to read reviews. I remember the star rating was a little low, but I took a chance for less than $20. I'd love to find the reviews to read them now. Unfortunately, I don't have an item number, if I need that to look it up. Can I look it up by name?

Quote from nerdgirl :
Okay, so I just got home and found 2 vs packages at my door. Online tracking shows they were delivered Monday night. Wtf happened to them between then and now? Am I in a weird time warp?

In any case, I'm glad I didn't send an email to the tenants yet. I still might, but reword it. But now it's looking like it could be a UPS issue? I still am going to try not to order so much, and look into surveillance. I just can't take the stress of not knowing if my stuff is safe. Glad I don't have to call vs now tho.

Sorry for the freak out and thanks for helping calm me down. : hug:
I'm glad you found them. Whee

Quote from kurips :
yay, i was able to reorder my tankini + skirted bottom... (and a couple more sets :lol : ) when i have been adding stuff earlier, it always said none was added to bag because none is in stock. i was able to add now :whee :
Congrats on getting everything you wanted. Cheers

Quote from Stardust42 :
Aw...l hope they aren't planning to sweep the whole thing under the rug. : comfort: Wouldn't hurt to re-send the email again. Hope you'll get a reply soon. : hug:
I'm trying to decide if it's even worth dealing with. I would usually rather let stuff go than continue to be upset about it. This was a pretty big insult to let go though.

Quote from longislandgirl :
Thank you All :heart : You all made me feel really special : blowkiss:
I had one of the best birthday yesterday. So I did not feel bad for getting a year older now :lmao : DH took me to restaurant, like every year I thought it would be just two of us but then he surprised me with our friends there. I had taken my time to get ready and did not know they were waiting so I felt a little bad that they had to wait for us to arrive.
The restaurant ( Indian) was nice and food was awesome too. DH had cake given to manager already and when we ordered desert the waiters came with cake and played happy bday tune. It was lot of fun.
P.S. - I already have bought gift for my Birthday from India trip. Its 22 carat Gold necklace (really heavy and royal -something that go very well with Indian traditional dress and not to mention it is pricey too :coverlaf : )
Nice gift! That was so sweet of your DH to order a cake & invite friends. I'm glad you had a great birthday.

Quote from ALVSGIRLY :
30off150 and free50 are back again at VS!
Thanks

Quote from Tizzylicious :

I have a friend who missed that memo, she's mid 40's and still wears a thong or tiny bottoms. She goes to the beach with her daughter and I always wonder what the heck is she thinkin? :shake :
I guess we all have our own comfort level. I didn't wear thongs, when I was young. They're just not my style.

Quote from hba123 :
Heads up--got a Pink mailer with 3 coupons today--free all over cotton panty, $10 off bra and free getaway bag with $75.
Thanks for the reminder. I think I got a mailer, before my guests arrived. I had forgotten about it. Now, to find it. Scratchchin

Quote from nerdgirl :
i hope it works for you! i just have a feeling since there's a bit of stretch, it will work for us straighter body types in a smaller size. i'll try them on when i get home and report back! excited...

oh i also tried on the hi-lo dress [express.com] last night, xs. it fit right, and was surprisingly slimming - i usually dislike dresses with an elastic waist like that because it tends to make me look thicker, but this one didn't. i will probably return it though, bc i don't see myself wearing it. i told myself to choose between that dress and the elastic waist maxi dress [express.com] in black print (also xs), and i can see myself wearing the maxi more bc it's more casual (the fabric). i think it'd be a very comfortable way to travel.

also tried the strapless belted tube dress [express.com] in plum, xs. it's okay - love the belt - but it's not that slimming and is pretty casual. probably going to return just kuz i don't love it, tho i love the color. the alvs/GH strapless ruched dress fits nicer and is more slimming.
Thanks for the reviews. I look more dumpy in dresses with elastic waists too, & I have a pronounced waist. I think it's the style rather than the body type. That didn't stop me from buying the ruffle front elastic waist dress anyway. Roll Eyes (Sarcastic)

They are ultra nice. I almost purchased one from Loehmann's, but someone snapped up the color I preferred. I need a new black purse, so I have been looking for a MK bag that I love. The search continues...

Thanks for the link. hug It sounds like it may be too long for me, but it was worth a shot for the cheap price. I'm curious to see what I can do with the neck. Everybody seemed to wear it a different way. If I like it other than the length, I may have it hemmed.

Quote from nerdgirl :
also, i just have to say - i got this dress [asos.com] from asos and it is the cutest dress ever! i absolutely love it and recommend it for anyone who loves backless/asymmetrical styles. you'll need a nubra or something to wear it, obviously, but it is just so sexy and pretty. i got the green, 6. their size chart is pretty accurate so go by that - their sizing is a bit different from VS (i'm usually a 2-4 at VS) and very different from express (where I can be 0-4 depending on the item). the dress is long - it comes to about 2" above my knees (i'm 5'6). it's non-stretchy material.

speaking of VS, i also got the cross-back dress [victoriassecret.com] in both 4 and 6. as suspected, the 6 was still snug on my waist, but the straps were longer so it sat a bit lower on the waist. if i keep one, i'm keeping the 4 - it's snug but more of the right fit. the 6's straps were too long. (as mentioned previously, the 2 fit also but the straps were too short). i'm not sure if i should keep white or yellow - both have an extra layer of lining in the skirt.
Thanks for the link. I was having trouble finding it once SAS was over and black is now in stock!!

I guess I will be ordering the 2 to try!! Hopefully the waist stays the same! Might be more flattering if the waist would be pulled higher then.

Another getaway bag?! I need to time my re-order then. Did it say when it was going to start?

did you follow up, or it just took them this long to respond. i never got a reply for my 2nd email regarding my lost points due to them shipping the wristlet separately.

now at least we know. probably going by when the cc actually gets charged, which is upon shipping. it doesn't make sense though on the side of the purchaser.

I just saw this beautiful new gown [victoriassecret.com] and how is it possible it's already OOS in S?!

I don't usually go for prints, but this is pretty. Especially for somewhere like Hawaii!

yes, that's what it says under FAQ for Express Next - that points get credited when cc is charged. so that's how i always expected it.

my last 7 or 8 online orders show up on my account. this is promising!! in store there are some issues tho. my last in store purchase did not make it. or at least it doesn't show up. it was only $12 for a jacket, but still. when i was there, they slid my card and asked if my name was XXXXX or nerdgirl. so obviously there is something going on with my express next account... i'm wondering if the other person is getting my in-store points. it's not a big deal to me tho bc i rarely make in-store purchases.

Now I feel bad for contacting them in the first place. I hadn't read that it goes by charge date. Embarrassment Oh well, now I know. It was really nice of her to give me points anyway.

I'd call about the name issue. With identity theft so prevalent, I wouldn't take a chance on that person getting a hold of your other info too.

don't feel bad about contacting them. my points post within 5 days usually. most of them time before then, kuz things have been shipping out so fast. i get impatient too! i just didn't know that email cs was good so i would always call, which i would put off bc i hate it so much.

and yeah, i will eventually have to sort it out. i'm just lazy right now. Blush
