Frown I'm sorry.

Red333 has a chest concern too- I wonder if she agrees and then I'm really going to wonder if the one I have fits laugh out loud I have not seen it pop back in-stock in any sizes yet.

In terms of? I haven't shipped back anything yet so I do have both slips...and I don't care if I lose the shipping label. If you mean in-store- they staple the receipt to it so I leave it like that.
You're my hero in terms of organization!

I'm not quite as big as you. I'm a larger 32C. My blazer is tight in a 4. It's a little tighter than I would like, but at the same time, it looks great worn open. I think it's perfect open.

I've been battling this exchange only receipt. I bought something with a hole with a reward, then exchanged some other things, then now need to get a PA. I think I will use the extra exchange only money and rebuy the blazer. This way, I won't feel so badly because the fit is so close. I think I would have also liked a 6.

Thanks for pointing out the blazer, though. It's pretty sharp!

nod our paper sizes vary.

i actually got better this last batch. i marked checks and crosses on my invoice to indicate what i returned, so i can check the credits later on (and maybe total my keeps if i'm brave enough). i used to just fully trust exp to do all of it correctly OMG

how fast do they inform oos?
the oos email came a minute after my order confirmation. laugh out loud

tossing the express receipts after 90 days is a great idea.

The heart champagne flutes http://www.worldmarket.com/produc...rom=Search I ordered from Cost Plus World Market for DH's Valentine's Day basket are adorable. heart They were $5.03 total. woot I also ordered some heart shaped pancake cutters from Amazon to go with the red velvet pancake mix. I'll make him fix them for us. It is his gift after all. I'd hate to take his gift from him for me to use. Teehee

Quote from nerdicus :
yes, it is very small for a 4. it fits me like the lace jacket in 2, except it's less stretchy. i was surprised it's so small actually considering the size. i can imagine you'd have a hard time fitting your chest in it. : (
Normally I'm a 4 in tops & coats, but this one is definitely smaller than most. nod Thanks for the info on the lace jacket. I'll stalk the site looking for a 4.

I had no idea that applying for a credit increase would hurt your credit score. That's good to know. EEK!

I love the jacket & appreciate you telling us about it. It's not your fault that it runs small. hug

That's a good idea. I'll try it that way. I really don't want to return it. Frown

I'm such an idiot. I lost my express birthday coupon...it's completely gone. I have searched everywhere for it, and I was stupid enough to lose it Frown. I've been looking for four days now, and I really think that it is gone for good Frown

No blue skater dress for me Frown

I was so stupid I didn't even copy down the online code...at least I have rewards.

Express just updated the site with lots of clearance. Check it out!

For my VS card, I've always been able to get an automatic increase when I'm close to my limit. Between the 300-200 range is when they automatically increase it. Maybe it's the same for Express, I have no idea? I've been denied my first VS card increase request and I've never asked since then, but have been getting regular increases. I don't know if I'd ever gotten an Express increase because I don't monitor that card that much.

As for the VS slips, I actually have them stored in the small white packages. I find that it fits perfectly. I tear off all the return labels and keep max of 2 in the front and everything is organized by date. Return labels take up soo much room! I find this to be pretty easy Big Grin New ones go on top. Yesterday I actually just cleaned out old order slips from 04-07. I tossed anything that only had items I've returned completely or items I no longer own. I toss the store return slips after my returns have been processed and credited to card.

I really love your 90 return policy idea about not reaching for it, then returning it. I find that I'm more inclined to return something I don't like versus keeping it like I used to.

High Five for being so organized!!

i have an Express coupon card ~ "$15 Off your $30 Purchase" in stores or online {expires March 3, 2013} and a code & one-time-use PIN number for the 'Free Lacie V-Day Thong' with non-clearance purchase (does not need to be a bra).

i don't want these to go to waste. Please p.m. me with VS-related Trade Offers [non-Angel credit cardholder]. Thanks in advance! Smilie

alvs - or anyone with the $15 GC from the 2 bras deal instore, is there an exclusion on the back of the card that says it can't be combined with any other coupon?

Or does it work like the SRCs? Just wondering since I did the online version and won't get it shipped to me until sometime next week or the week after...and debating if I should hold off using my $15 PBOS. There is this bra I saw in stores that I wanted...it would definitely be a better deal of I can get $30 off it instead of the PBOS $15. Plus $10 off bday card Big Grin

TIA!!

Alvs - I actually got a limited mailer today! it's 15 off 30 and there were two - one for you and one for a friend. too bad it's not 15 off anything! let me know if you want them.

Like if you have to ship back the packing slip but keep part of the order. That what would mess me up.
Oooh, I scan every order form I ship back for VS, so I guess I would print that out to take it's place Scratchchin
Quote from nerdicus :
sure, i'll do your laundry if you organize my paper piles! Whee

iirc red333 doesn't have chest issues - she's my sister size (32c).

i got my first express oos cancellation notice. not too sad about it. goes to show you i never really wanted it. laugh out loud
Scratchhead Did I forget to mention the boxes full of papers that I have never opened? I'm not sure the binder system has been put through its paces yet and is ready for the "big leagues"

Ahh, maybe I'm thinking of someone else. It could have something to do with width of shoulders/back. That's one of my smaller dimensions- they swim in most size 4 Exp. jackets.

Yes, that means you never really wanted it Teehee Today I got home to realize I bought the exact same pair of jeans in-store last week (Size, style, wash)... does that mean I reaaaaaaally wanted it? LMAO

Quote from kurips :
i already know i'll like my jacket, and it's meant-to-be because it's my size (and i had my lucky zebra sweaterdress on). licorice was actually my first-choice color when they all came out. i remember it went on tick-tock once when i didn't have fs yet so i pm'd alvs to order for me but tick-tock was over when she woke up laugh out loud for some reason i ended up with the blue.

yup, it would be difficult for alvs and i to be organized because we do both store and mail returns. the paper sizes will be different. i actually dispose of exp receipts past the return period.
laugh out loud Your lucky sweaterdress. That thing came up way short on me. Much shorter than the solid-color ones. I await my pink houndstoothers Whee

bulb Ahhh yeah. Keep a copy and 3-hole punch that! My goal is to never mail back ever (unless they do a "free returns" promo, then I'm in) for Express.
