express payment cutoff time is 6pm EST. i can finally pay off my balance as all my transactions from last week finally posted! very annoying how long some of them took.

can't wait till thurs when some more big orders come in! hopefully i'll have stopped, and i'll have a negative balance on my cc after i do some returns.

oh, also, i called the VS backorder line yesterday and it seems to be different now. it didn't find all of my backorders. i was able to cancel 2 items but i'm not really sure how many items i have on backorder. laugh out loud

it might be easier to go from the regular CS line, as it asked for order # to access your backorders which is a trick question bc they don't have order #s yet. i punched in the original order # that had the backorders in them, and it gave me the shipping info for that original order. i had to look up by my customer number to find those 2 backorders that i cancelled.

Not sure if this has been posted or not, but those $10 and $15 gift cards that were given out with bra purchase valid 3-25 stack online. Someone said that they were like SRC's in store, but online, they definitely stack Smilie
Whee Thanks!
Quote from ALVSGIRLY :
There is a lot of stuff I like but it's all full price. I like the bra tops and dresses in the summer. I also love a lot of the swimwear. I just know better than to buy now even though I have those cards.
Same as my thought, but man oh man! I'm trying to get stuff I've had on my wishlist forever that I know won't go down in price. I'm also worried that they will catch on to the GC stacking? Although it's not supposed to be like SRCs?

Quote from nerdicus :
mine were (un)organized in manila file folders for the longest time. i would just get a new one whenever the old one was looking full. finally i decided it was ridiculous and i need a system. that shoebox fits them almost perfectly vertically, which is great. the invoices from other accounts are still in folders bc there's not as much.

express is next - not sure how to organize those yet. it's hard to find shoeboxes that are tall enough to fit them vertically but i like to keep them that way so i can see all of them. i also want to call express cc to get a new cc (that says a-list on it). and i have receipts to call in but i don't want to do it bc i want them to issue the points for jan first (when do they do that?).
I like your VS system nod

I find that if you fold Express' invoice at the perforation, you can also store it like you do for VS'. And tear off the return label or just fold that as well.

I am spring cleaning too! Whee

Sorry girls, I keep asking this, for Express, are rewards divided up between items if you buy/return more than one? I'm sitting on my reward and want to spend it, but not sure if I'm gonna keep the items. I don't think I should use it though.

thanks! i thought of it yesterday when i was frustrated by my stack of invoices/bills/etc and finally caved and punched holes in my cc invoices and put them into a folder. DH was very happy to see me cleaning up my mess. Coverlaugh

i only have 1 shoebox that seems to fit the height of the vs invoices tho. i'm going to have to look around for more - i JUST got rid of some shoeboxes, argh. i'm going to measure the express ones to see if they're taller than VS (i thought that they might be... but i'm not completely sure) but you're right - folded like the VS would be best. i like stacking them vertical like that bc i can flip through them pretty easily, like flipping through a library card catalog. [Coverlaugh totally showing my age with that reference.]

5 big bags of stuff loaded into my trunk! i already had a huge trash bag full of clothes, so this makes 2 trash bags, 2 slightly larger than normal grocery bags of clothes, and 2 trash bags of shoes. whew! it cleared out some closet space so i was able to reorganize and finally get everything to fit inside the closet instead of spilling onto my desk chairs.

yes, they are, regardless of whether you order online or use in store. best to use it on items you're sure you're going to keep. one thing you can do is buy what you want, then go in to store and return/rebuy what you want to get with your reward. i sort of did this, and kurpee and red333 have been able to do this.

Don't know if you guys know but it is Thank your Mailman Day. I am giving him and his wife, chocolates, coffee, hand lotion(2), Nivea lip stick and a candle.
That's a very nice gift. I'm sure your mailman & his wife were pleased. I didn't realize it was postal carrier day. I'll have to try to remember next year.

Quote from nerdicus :
:lo l: i just read the fine print on the email i got from them and saw that it doesn't work n sale items. very annoying! i'd wait for a better code. Smilie

i have yet to have that happen, but i've read a lot of reviews about it. if you only washed once and didn't wear, you can bring it back to the store and tell them it was defective. unfortunately, it's up to them if they want to deal with it. i've heard them say to one customer claiming of a defect (pocket had a hole in it on the inside of a jacket) that a defective item needs to be mailed back to them, or else they'll exchange it in store.

it took me a looooong time to figure out how to organize mine, and believe me, there's a LOT more mess where that came from. it's spring cleaning week for me tho! just in time for the new year (i've heard of ppl doing spring cleaning before the lunar new year, which is coming up this sunday). i cleared out 3 bags of clothes and 2 bags of shoes for good will. a couple pairs of boots were worn once or twice and are still in the box. Facepalm
I did return the cardigan. They no longer have the top on the site, so I kept it. I probably wouldn't have, if it had been any color other than purple. It is annoying though.

Quote from nerdicus :
i'm wearing the porda jacket today. it's so snug on me! but i do like it. i was just thinking i need to update my wardrobe to be more for someone in their 30s rather than all the hoodies/etc that i wore in my 20s. :l ol: these jackets are helping me in that aspect.
You look very nice in the picture.

Quote from kurips :
i don't think it looks snug on you. it is snugger on me buttoned. i wear them unbuttoned most of the times. i've seen express sa's have them even more snug :l ol:
That makes me feel better about that jacket being tight on me. I'm going to try it again to see what DH thinks. I can probably wear it unbuttoned, if it looks scandalous buttoned.

I forgot to pay my bill before 6pm. Doh I was planning to do that today, because the last of my orders shipped. At least, you reminded me to go ahead & make a payment to clear tomorrow night. Thanks for that.

Thank you again about the Express Rewards. I don't know why I keep forgetting! I guess I get too excited and then forget when I need to remember. Those jeans in 0S finally came BIS, so I snatched it up. All other Short sizes were snatched up the same day of the crazy clearance ordeal. So now I can get a true comparison nod

I'm waiting for good % off dress to try/buy some at Express!

Yeah! I totally like stacking invoices the way you do and I agree with your analogy. It works the best and is easiest to clean when it comes to cleaning invoices time.
Since you cleaned out your clothes, maybe time to also get those VS invoices cleaned and thrown out if you got rid of the clothes!

I hear ya about throwing clothes on the chair. Insanely frustrating for me too! Trying to let it all go and find extra room. look around

i received the mesh yoke hi-lo hem in black, and right away i felt that i liked the orange one better. i thought it was just the color. i superimposed them and the orange is about 2" longer in length, both at the front and back. i paid $11 for the orange and $7.50 for the black shake head now what to do? i could have just done the return-rebuy on it with the jackets last weekend if i had known (i saw both colors on clearance when they restocked). i'm tired of playing games with exp.

oh no! that means the black may be short on me. laugh out loud i tend to love simple black tops like that so i do have a ton, but i grab them a lot to go with my colored pants or colored cardigan. i haven't tried mine on yet.

i say keep the one that you like - it's not worth compromising for $3.50. but if you do end up in store before your 90 day return policy, try returning and rebuying.
