Thanks so much Kurpee and Nerdi for the express advice! I really aprpeciate it! They told me they couldn't find my receipt for something I returned by looking it up. I found the hard copy later, and I don't like what I exchanged it for. Oh well. I'll figure out something else to exchange it for eventually.

Folica $20 off $40 doesn't seem that great. I think I'd rather wait for a $10 off $20. I don't really need anything to begin with. Thanks for letting us know where it was, though!

Edit: Also, thanks for the printables, ALVS (as always!)
(someone correct me if i'm wrong, but) if you bring in your original receipt and the exchange receipt, maybe you can get credit back by explaining that you couldn't find your receipt and the lookup didn't work but you found it now. Dontknow it might work.
Quote from kurips :
i got my latest non-extreme stretch barely bootcut about a year ago, and i think they still sell it now, so my answer may still be true. the fabric is thicker and holds its own shape so it isn't as stretchy and as close to your body and as responsive to your movements. also, the legs appear less flared out. that's why i don't consider that and the extreme stretch of the same fit.
the ones i tried on were a strange fabric - unlike most jeans, it was not very stretchy, but also not heavy - they were lighter and i looked at the fabric content and it may be because there's like 15-20% polyester in it. they felt like they would hold their shape well, but still stretched a little bit (i think it was 2% spandex, which is enough for me - i'm not a huge fan of extremely stretchy pants). you are right tho - the fit is very different! i found the extreme stretch fit to be skinnier than the regular/medium color. i liked them both, but the regular would be more casual bc it is less fitted. maybe i am old fashioned and feel like my jeans should not be skin-tight. laugh out loud Dontknow

i wonder, if i return my online exclusive maxi [express.com], would my store clearance it like they did the other one? hmmmm Scratchchin

Quote from nerdgirl :
question: for the stella jeans, did you find that the waist of the stella barely bootcut in medium was tighter/less stretchy than others? i remember really liking that part bc then if you bend down it doesn't stretch and show crack (as opposed to AE jeans that do this for me).
No wonder you love the Stella barely boot cut, & I don't . They fit us differently. I have at least a 1" gap in the back of the waist in those jeans. They fit everywhere else. I'd need a belt with them, & I rarely wear belts.

If I had waited to order the Graphic Hi-Lo Tank, I could have saved an extra $5.

So true. laugh out loud I got a good deal on them in the first place. One of them will have to be returned, because I ordered 2 sizes to see which fits best. So, I guess I would only save $2.50. For that, I probably won't bother. I make a lot of returns as it is. Embarrassment The CS agents are going to start hating my DH. Stick Out Tongue

the even exchange policy may vary. in the store that didn't allow reward + coupon, i only remembered it when i so hated them that day, i once went in to exchange seed bead bracelets ($5 in invoice) for another color. they didn't want to do it. since the bracelets were $15 (reg price), they want me to pay the $10 difference for color exchange Crazy and the way their sa's act so strict and firm on their rules is the same. they train their employees well to deny good cs, but they don't know the terms of their promotions.

i should have mentioned that too when i complained. also i remembered only after the call, i should have made the customer relations person tell them too that rewards can be used on clearance (unlike the old mailer rewards). i bet this store doesn't know that.

too bad i have only 2 stores to choose from here, both requiring at least 50 min drive Frown if i am planning to go back to that store, i would probably have no choice but to always verify rules with customer relations to set them straight.

I didn't see you post your experience earlier. There should be consistency company wide. That's not right that your store is so difficult to deal with. The lady that processed my exchange checked to see they were the same price & said "no problem". She couldn't have been nicer about it. I also returned 2 tops on the same receipt. On my CC, I was refunded what I paid for the tops.. There was no charge for the jeans. I'm sorry they gave you a hard time. hug I hope my store continues to be easy to deal with.

i think this store has a problem. in the other store, they let me do even exchanges. when that store closed and another opened up in the same city, i had to explain and argue a little the first time i tried, but she seemed open to what i had to say and gave in. (this willingness to listen i didn't see in the other store) but i realized i don't have many store choices and i might not be likeable already as it is (just for doing a lot of returns and for trying on a lot of their stuff and buying little laugh out loud ), i decided i just won't make them do too much "courtesy" for me, so i never tried again after that one time. i'll try to even exchange the boatneck dress though if they have it. if they do it, good. if not, it'll be fine.

Anybody have/seen these? Multi-Color Nested Chain Necklace in Multi-Gold http://www.express.com/multi-colo...ba9#jsLink, Hammered Metal Bandles http://www.express.com/hammered-m...597059dd94, Dangling Disc Earrings in Multi-Tone http://www.express.com/dangling-d...98c#jsLink Do they look cheap/tacky? Honestly, I don't like the earrings as pictured. They're the only ones I can find to go with the necklace & earrings. I'm hoping they're prettier in person. The reviews are pretty good. I need close to a $50 filler for an order & thought I'd try these. I like the versatility of the multi-tones.

I know what you mean. I was thinking I need to start buying more in store. At least, my DH does the returning. When I go, it's mostly to try on things I have my eye on. I've bought a few things in store, but not nearly as much as I return.

Where I grew up, we used to have to drive an hour to either mall. At the time, I thought nothing of it. You'll probably get used to it, if you stay there for a long time.

there's room in the waist for me also (it was considerably looser than the extreme stretch, but didn't gap enough for me to dislike it), but i don't mind it - it's overall the same amount of looseness. it catches on my hips and not my butt, if that makes sense. i like that there's room bc i tend to like my pants to be a bit loose.

my store is starting to hate me. i go in and do about 4-5 invoices of returning at once. i always hold up the line. some cs's are more annoying than others tho, and keep asking why i'm returning something. they also convinced me to keep that hi-lo dress i was going to return. oh well - maybe i'll find a use for it... it does fit nicely.

i was annoyed last time tho, bc the other line was held up also, and it was bc the cs was calling other express stores in the san diego area to find a shirt in a size for this guy (who probably goes to school in sd and was home for the weekend). he spent about 20 minutes calling around to the different stores for the guy before the guy finally said 'you know what? forget it, i'll just have my gf come in to this store and exchange the size when you get them back in stock'. Roll Eyes (Sarcastic) like helloooo, couldn't you have just said that 20 minutes prior so at least we're not both holding up the line?

don't know yet. haven't gotten notification... it's still open for me.

my other 2 open orders just shipped finally. (from yesterday and the day before) hopefully last night's ships too!
