New name, same girls!

i'm actually still upset with ups about this. they failed to deliver on the promised date (isn't ups 2-day guaranteed?). i'll be gone the day after, they should have allowed redelivery for free because i wouldn't need that service if they delivered as promised. i was already inconvenienced for not receiving the package on time, and they want me to pay $5 for the redelivery. i could have allowed them to do the 3 redelivery attempts, but they'll be leaving infonotice on my door which i didn't want either because it would make it obvious that no one's home, compromising our security.

fedex didn't charge for redelivery. i actually had to call them though because the package was mia on the redelivery date of dec 31. the cs apologized, promised to straighten out and redeliver asap which was on jan 2. someone at the station where my package was at even called me back and followed up.

fedex didn't charge for it.
from what i've experienced in my many shipping ordeals, fedex > ups. i love how my fedex delivery person will attempt to hide my packages. it's cute when they leave me a notice telling me where they left it.

i see that now. i am loving fedex. i'm thinking the ups guy would have been willing to redeliver if i left a note, but then again i don't want to leave notes. plus he comes at night, so i'm not sure he'll notice it, especially when he's about ready to get his day done.

i even asked ups if they can just do the redelivery attempts but not leave infonotices, he said no. i guess they are just following protocol, just as he had to charge me if i ask for redelivery.

eta: i actually just became paranoid about losing packages here. all the while i thought it was safe (we're near a dead end). but our neighbors saw our boxes when we were gone to have the baby, and they went and put them at the back door. they said they had packages stolen when they had their baby.

oh yes i use one every day (i swear by them and have many on hand in case one dies). what i meant was, lancome mascaras straighten out lashes, so using the curler doesn't help. i don't like to use it after mascara so i need mascaras that hold curl, and unfortunately lancome ones don't.
Oh, I see what you mean! That sucks! I bet there is a great primer out there that will hold the curl. hug

just don't stick it in your pocket - it will never recover. laugh out loud

i keep mine in my purse now but may have had it in my pocket once. i think that's what killed it for me.
Quote from PordaPoddy :
Sorry - Drugstore
I'm pretty sure that's what happened. I used to buy rewards and then sometime last year I ran into that problem Frown
Yep, those are the ones. Watch the video! Bonk That's what I had to do because from the photo, your hooks didn't look like mine laugh out loud I can't really use more than a few of them though b/c I have the extra bar that hangs below for skirts and cardis (probably my favorite purchase from RiteAid ever!)

The DNA kit is pretty neat. Sitting around with my and DH's families around the holidays, I was thinking that I already have a good idea of how bad our genes are Coverlaugh
I hope so. We never did it, the boxes sit on our shelf collecting dust.
Oh yeah, we don't have to log in to check out. Oh the things I forget when SRC craziness comes around :silly:
nod
Also for chapped lips, the Dermstore Lipquench is pretty amazing. Black tube. Came as a GWP a while ago so might be some on fleabay for cheap
ill have to check this lip quench out. Thx for the recommendation!
Quote from red333 :
Hi Wolfie! My fresh sugar lip also broke, but now I'm really careful with it. It probably is the cold that is keeping yours together. I know mine will break if I leave it in my pocket too long. It just gets so mushy so quickly

Now, with mine, I keep them in my purse (never my jeans pocket), and I only push up as small of an amount as possible. I pretty much apply the lip product from the exact top, pushing down. Once I discovered this, I never ran into any problems. Hope that helps!

I had actually bought a full size one last December (before it was announced that it was their birthday gift). That was the one that broke. What a pain because it was so much bigger.
Quote from azn1x6flame :
I love Fresh Sugar lip balms as well! The downside is the price! I managed to finish the regular plum size tube in 2 weeks during the summer. I've stocked up on the other colors, but using sparingly now. I think the taste also makes it deplete faster for me laugh out loud
thx for all the tips on fresh! I only keep it in my purse since I always use the same one so I always know where it is. The sugar scent is very yummy. Has anyone " accidentally " eaten some Wink Is the full size hard to use? How long do they usually last? I'm sad I didn't hoard more bday gifts with my multiple accounts laugh out loud

my vs 2 day shipping came like the 5th day, so they're definitely unreliable. I don't even think they try to prioritize those. I saw mine sitting an hr away from me for 2 days! Ridiculous!

Today I finally visited my local vs n some horror stories I read on this forum happened to me. A newbie threw away my gc with 8x.xx! I couldn't believe it! I didn't know she threw it away with the coupons I gave her. She only fished it out as I was asking her about the 10 off 50 survey not applying. I think she realized I still had a balance on it. Anyway this was a good reminder to myself to watch out for these newbies/ seasonal employees. On the upside my vs had the most merchandise they've had in a long while...

ups will send it back to sender. the vs rep told me (when i was deciding what to do with it), that when they receive it, they will email me to ask if i want to have it resent or get refund. either is fine by me. i'll think if and when they actually email me. i have a feeling they'll not bother. either they'll just refund, or wait for me to contact them to get my refund.
I guess if you don't care then it is not a big deal.
