that's $1 per phone call. not really worth your time... imo.
This rebate was for $40. This one was worth it, but not again. What a mess. I've learned my lesson.

Okay, so I'm back to loving dermstore.

Because I wrote a nasty post on their wall, they put me in touch with a supervisor at Subco. The lady at Sub Co told me that it was one subscription rebate per household (so I could get multiple rebates as long as they were for different magazines). She was SO incredibly nice and cleared up everything. They are issuing my rebate today, so I should get it sometime next week.

Honestly, I think I'm done with dermstore as well. I am sick of fighting for my rebates. Granted, I'm lucky to be successful, but each one on average is about 10 phone calls. Ridiculous. I am happy with the result, though.
so we interpreted the terms correctly, why were the rebates not being sent?... just because they decide they want to send us the subscription and not the check?

yeah... seriously. i think last time i ordered bc i actually wanted the mag. laugh out loud but otherwise, it's not worth the time spent trying to get the rebate.

it really does suck tho. obviously these magazine rebates can be done well (as folica has shown us), so it's just dermstore that sucks.

They claimed that they didn't "get the form" and that they have "no problems honoring the rebates." We had interpreted the terms correctly. We can get multiple rebates as long as they're different. However, they may run out, so it's best to get the rebate right when it comes out and then call them to request the rebate. It sounds like a lot of work. I guess dermstore sends them lists once per week with the people with the subscriptions.

I do still find it odd that no one here who sent in the rebate form actually got the rebate. My dad has ordered things as well (to give to me), and he has never gotten a rebate. That's a lot of people who have had no success with rebates.

is it folica or dermstore that actually shows that you have a subscription in your cart? i think that's good practice so we have confirmation of rebate qualification. if it's while supplies last, it should say so on the form. and when the "supply" is out, take the form out of their website, and don't add the magazine in the cart.

anyway, whatever. i'm still not convinced laugh out loud if i needed something at dermstore, i'm not adding stuff just to get to the rebate's requirement, that's what i've been doing.

they say to call them to request the rebate? isn't that what you did 10x? Crazy

i'm happy that you finally got the right person to help you.

Well, they got me pissed off enough for it to be about principal. I was about ready to file with my CC company. Talk about a TOTAL disaster that would have been. No one knew anything until I posted what I did on their wall. If it was for a $20 or $12 rebate, I probably would have done nothing.

Once upon a time, before Sub Co was in charge of the rebates, I always received my dermstore rebates. I've NEVER missed a folica one. That company is super on top of things.

Well, you live and learn.

That's just my impression. SubCo. came about recently. Before, it was always Conde Nast. I think Folica is through Conde Nast as well.

Edit: It appears as though folica no longer has magazine rebates Frown

Does anyone know how to cancel a VS backorder without talking to a CSR? I thought this used to be the number, but it doesn't let me cancel a backorder. 1-800-411-1418

that's the number i've been calling! if it's not letting you, maybe try calling back later. i had trouble a few weeks ago - it kept wanting to transfer me. but i just used that number like last week to cancel some backorders.

what's it doing for you?

Maybe I'm just doing something wrong. I call it and give my order number. Then, it tells me one item has shipped (great). then it says, you can say "tracking information," "item details", or "continue."

I have no idea how to cancel a backorder. Granted, I've never tried canceling a backorder before, and I may just be doing it wrong. I just noted the number in case I ever wanted to.

Express Jean girls- Kurpee and GoHeels

I just got my Zelda Barely Boots, size 4 reg and short. wth? : messed: Short is perfect for flats, but regular.... a good 5 inches longer? I tried on 3" heels and it was still totally bunched up. Regular length says whom?!?! :nono :
This makes me wonder, if the extreme stretch leggings I tried in store were mislabeled as short. They were that much too long for me. I was walking on them. They almost covered my tiny feet. There does seem to be a big difference in the lengths. I'm sorry they didn't work for you. Have you tried the skyscraper jeans? They were made for wearing with heels. You would order 4S, but they should be the length you want.

Anniversary sale at nordstrom is on ladies :woot2 :!
Thanks

Quote from Tizzylicious :
Oh no I don't want to hear that. I have these on my wishlist so I can wear them with heels. :sadwalk :
As I suggested to Porda, have you tried the skyscraper jeans? They may be closer to what you're looking for.

When I've been unable to cancel a b/o at that number, the item shipped shortly. They may be filling your b/o now.

ETA: I just saw your last post. Odds are the item has shipped.
