Come on nerd, you know the rule. Scientists all swear on a stack of Periodic Tables that they will not talk about things in absolute terms - inevitably, there is an exception somewhere along the line! Tongue

i thought this double v-neck elastic waist dress [express.com] was cute. i think i'd wear it. i got the S and it wasn't too short, tho the lining dipped a little low.
I'm thinking this is the same cut as the double-V neck dress w/ lining that was in clearance for $10 (only w/o sleeves now). The lining dipped low (but not too much) and length on XS was short for a breezy day, but acceptable otherwise. Smilie

Thanks for the suggestion. I have black jeans that will probably work. Now I need to find a top....
How about a color gradient outfit? Black jeans, gray Porda Jacket, over the lace yoke blouson tank in gray [express.com] (or black if you're too weenie Wink2 ), and then some gunmetal jewelry to tie it together (long chain necklace perhaps).

VictoriasSecret.com - Questions, Complaints, and Concerns

Ladies, i think i'm in trouble (as in, beyond stressed out that vs.com must've terminated the Free Shipping & Returns in stores policy).

Some of my snail mail packages arrived. Everything's fine..except i noticed on the back of one of my invoices that it all of a sudden looks different..in a very bad way. Mad
It says they regret that VS Stores cannot accept online or catalogue returns..VS Direct cannot accept store returns.
Had i known they were gonna turn their Free Shipping & Returns in-store policy against us, i would've stopped placing small orders sooner\earlier.

This probably means that the rest of my upcoming little snail mail packages..i have to give up $5.99 per order out of pocket for using their fricken' 'pre-paid' return label. Mad Sounds like i can't get Free Shipping while buying and returning anymore.

Do any of you know if there's a cutoff date \ when it's officially in effect?
i have more than enough vs.com returns remaining, but i don't know if my store will deny mine \ stop accepting my vs.com returns now that i know they've begun to randomly update their returning options on the back of one of my invoices. Mad
Tomorrow, i'm gonna try to get rid of as many as i can in stores unless \ until the Store associates tell me that they can no longer accept them.

If dropping off vs.com returns in the mailbox or at the post office--[& getting $5.99 deducted from your refund for each order Mad]--becomes the only option, how does that work?
Do you need to thoroughly fill out the return forms, pack them individually, reuse the same poly bags they came in, and stick all of the $5.99 return label stickers next to or on top of my original address & tracking number stickers?

Since this problem popped up unexpectedly, i'm praying that none of my Secret Reward Cards will lose their value 'cause i owe lots of $5.99's out of pocket for what should've been Free Shipping & Returns (in stores) forever and ever! Mad

i hate how i'm gonna get $5.99 deducted from every refund from now on..That's why i tried to avoid using the 'pre-paid' return labels in the first place..and all that extra paperwork \ time-consuming labor. Mad

Bye Bye, vs.com catalogue/online shopping! Frown It was nice knowing you! Frown Goodbye! Frown

yeah i returned those clearance $10 ones bc they were too short for me. i knew i wouldn't wear it. i would wear this one! i mean, i did try the s but usually i don't find those flowy skirts to be that much longer in a larger size.

No problem. I don't know how I missed the XS & S earlier.

Thanks for the suggestion. Naturally, I don't have that top either. Frown I'm going to send DH to the store to look for the color block gray/black tank that was recently online. It's like this http://www.express.com/clothing/c.../cat320062, but in grays & black. I'll have him look for this one too. I'm no longer worried about being overdressed. DH's boss told him these were Executive Club level seats & not to wear jeans. I'll probably wear nice jeans anyway. I do have a pair of ivory & gray corduroy pants & ivory leggings I could wear. That's about it. I don't really have any dress pants. Dark jeans should be fine though. We get free food & free booze. woot Soon I won't care about my outfit. Stick Out Tongue Now that I think about it, I probably shouldn't wear anything tight. Scratchchin

I need to send DH to a different Express store. It's awesome that you all don't always lose your points on returns. I've never been that lucky.

look around Let's see a photo of this policy before we get freaked out about this.

1) It could be an old invoice paper they printed it on (before they started in-store returns)
2) It could be a return to what we had before which is no in-store returns... They were nice, but we survived without them
3) Why would it be $5.99 per order?
bulb Send more than one order back in a box of returns
bulbDon't send them a box full of invoices with shipping labels attached. Sometimes they get scan-happy and each one they scan = $5.99

it has been oos in XS and S for a long time! thanks for letting us know it was back - i had been dying to add the XS to my wishlist. i think i just checked a couple of days ago and it only had M and L so you didn't really miss it. i specifically checked for it bc i was adding stuff back onto my wishlist.

I do have that top. bounce I'll try it with the lace jacket. Thanks. I don't know if you saw my last post to you, but the lace jacket may be a better choice anyway. What do you think?

Thanks, nerdi and hba123 so far, for your feedback. It's still sunny here for the time-being, so i'll attempt to upload a decent photo of the back [of one of my pieces of invoice paper] later this afternoon/evening.

i feel a tiny bit better about only $5.99 per box. If i need to resort to this, however, won't my Post Office charge me more than just the $5.99 prepaid sticker based on how much the box weighs? \:

I just checked my invoices and they are still the same. They say "New! Buy online and drop off returns at select stores"

Porda is right - just put all your returns in one big box and ship it back with ONE $5.99 label. When I used to send back boxes of returns, I just staple the correct invoice to the correct poly bag. I keep all my poly bags. This way, it should make it easier for the people processing the returns.

Just stick one prepaid label on the outside of the box and drop it off at UPS or USPS and you're done.

No, USPS won't charge based on the weight of the box as long as they see the prepaid label.
