New name, same girls!

Let me reintroduce, the VS Social Thread!

Quote from PordaPoddy :
Definitely! How is it NWOT and they can't find the hood? I'd expect a good discount for that and I'm surprised they didn't offer one already.
yeah I'm not sure how it is brand new without tags but missing something Roll Eyes (Sarcastic) who takes apart a jacket they're about to sell?!

Quote from ALVSGIRLY :
only transaction i did on ebay recently went wrong. seller sent the wrong size. i don't like ordering on ebay but that's the only place i could find a red sky top.
I hope you got your money back!

Quote from azn1x6flame :
Yes, it would be item not described, kinda. I think definitely try to get a discount because it sounds like you wanted the item with the trim. But if you don't want it entirely, ask for a full refund. She should give you a refund if you don't want the item anymore. If not and nothing works and she wants to keep your money..then you can go the route case, but I think it would be best to try to avoid that

Was able to sign in and place an order this morning just fine.
I definitely want the jacket, I'm just a bit bummed its missing the trim. Hopefully we can work something out! Thanks for your help Smilie

Quote from PordaPoddy :
IMO, her seller rating is on the line, so she should definitely do everything she can to appease you. I think you could file "Item Not Described" since you already paid... but the next step in resolution is her offering you a refund, partial refund or you sending it back. She did already offer to cancel the transaction, so I wouldn't go through with it only to file I.N.D. to get her back for not giving you a discount. Either you're OK with no hood/no discount, or you're not. You can give a neutral and/or ding her stars and put comments like "great jacket, but seller lost hood before shipping" , which no seller wants in their ratings. (I'm wary of giving negative feedback b/c that stays with a seller for an entire year, so I only give it to the real jerkholes)
thanks Porda. I won't file for IND if she still cant find it or offer me a discount but will be sure to leave neutral feedback. She has positive feedback for her 30 other transactions so hopefully she will want to keep it that way and be nice to me!

you girls are so helpful heart


On another note, I found a real life picture of the fragrance tote.

i did. they said they would refund shipping both ways plus the cost of the top. refund didn't include my return shipping but i was over it by then. just a lesson of another reason why i hate ebay.

red, did you use the email us link to ask for a shipping refund at Express? I tried again, when we were discussing it here. They still haven't replied to that email or the one two days earlier. It looks like I'm going to have to call, if there isn't another email address I could try.
Yes, I used the same one.

I think trying a smaller size is a good idea. They look too big for you.

My card shows in store returns immediately. You need to contact them about your account. I'd be really annoyed to have all the issues you've had.

The first one.
my wishlist works in safari and sort of works in IE. i've just been adding stuff on the ipad.

unfortunately i couldn't find them in 7 so i ordered 6.5... i can count the number of times i've fit a 6.5 in my life on one hand. laugh out loud i don't anticipate they'll fit me but that was the closest size they had available at macys.

my card showed them pretty fast a couple of weekends ago, but sometimes it takes a long time for stuff to show. no transactions are showing, in-store or online. if the orders show first i will def call them and complain but for now i think i can just wait it out. i hate how it's inconsistent tho - sometimes it's almost immediate and sometimes it takes forever.

thanks! i closed the window kuz no one chose one for me. laugh out loud

wow! did they ship from a store close to you?

got my minus the leather moto jackets. i like the sleeves of this one SO MUCH MORE than the peplum - it's actually a little form-fitting! i like the fit of the S better - the XS fits me but is shorter and tighter, as usual. think i'm keeping ivory, s! Smilie

did not get a chance to call limited since my sandwich took too long to make so i had to scarf down my food and get back to work. Frown

If any of yall do Brilliant Distinctions they are making it where you earn points for shopping. I'm excited. More botox coupons. The Vivite is also really nice. You earn points for buying that too and some retailers. They make nice skin care products.

i find the invoices are printed on regular paper if it comes from a store, and printed on the thicker invoice paper with the shipping label/etc if it comes from their warehouse.

thought this was funny:

Why must VS mislead with pictures yet again? Sadwalk Is it neon pink?

Got in through Chrome incognito.
The photo shom33 shared from eBay is an accurate show of the color. I hesitate to say it's neon pink, but it's pretty close in my book. The straps are comfy.

I noticed that too... I do understand why that is priority #1 for them laugh out loud , but how will they know what to put on sale if I can't add 50 portofino shirts in hopes they put it on sale based on wishlist numbers? Tongue

Big Grin I really shouldn't be so hard on JC Penney. I admire their buyer's gonads - they're keeping them out of boring territory by taking chances. In fact, so much of their stuff looks exactly like Express!

Yeah... sounds like an amateur seller. As long as she's willing, she'll learn and get better. I've messed up with buyers (sent wrong item, or re-listed an item I had already sold) and I do everything I can to make it right. The right attitude and readiness to refund do wonders Smilie Let us know what happens!

I know! JCPenny has almost anything that express has, i sweat. but some formal shirts, jackets I bought lately from JCP are better fit than express. I am starting to slowly love jcp Coverlaugh
and In what world the Express 30% discount on that floral skirt of $69.90 equals to 27.93 Roll Eyes (Sarcastic)
Aren't many VS items are dupes of Express or visa versa? I think none of us checks VS much now Laugh1

I have ordered this [jcpenney.com] from JCP, I am yet to get it. Sounds like a good combo of lace top and peplum top Teehee

I have boughtthis one [jcpenney.com] too , the express one that I had was too sheer. Besides jcp one has more color combination. I got it in aqua/blue Cool
