Okay, I lied... I did place an order on AE a couple of weeks ago during that sale. I never got a shipment notification, so I thought I should check the status today. Apparently they shipped it and UPS delivered it on 5/30 Frown I'm scared they won't believe me. I've never had this happen.

ETA: I'm going to KILL my boyfriend!!!! He put it on a dining room chair and I even asked him if he saw an AE package!! I found it while I was talking to the CSR who had JUST issued a refund... omg I feel like such a nincompoop

Quote from nerdicus :

you can totally do vegas with 3 whole days... but there is a lot of walking involved. you can take short cab rides everywhere, but you walk a lot around each hotel/casino bc they're just that big. i'm not sure how much walking you can do... that's just a warning. but otherwise, there are nice hotels, easy cabs and some shuttles you can take between hotels.

red has a good suggestion - PR is probably much better. though i'm not sure about the transportation aspect as i've never been there. it's somewhat "domestic" though, being a US territory. (i never knew until i was sending out wedding invitations that you can actually send mail there using a regular stamp! i know... silly of me).
I think I only had 3 days in PR. I had a car and used it twice, but if I did it over, I wouldn't have rented a car because the people there were the worst drivers I've ever seen. I resorted to stopping and every intersection regardless of whether or not there was a stop sign because people blew through everything. The two times I used the car were to do bioluminescent kayaking (there are little organisms in the water that sparkle like glitter when they're disturbed by anything, even fish!). The other time, I went to the rain forest.

Both are EXTREMELY common excursions that could probably be booked through a hotel. That is what we should have done. I stayed mostly around old San Juan and absolutely loved everything. It feels like you're far away because it's rich in culture, but it's so close. The food was also amazing. The way they cook steak and plantains was fantastic, and I only eat beef a few times a year.

It's gotta be something like that. It's just crazy that 1/2 a cupcake can make me jittery but I can pig out on other sweet stuff. Seems kind of random.

oh no!! Frown that's terrible... i hate when i don't get a shipment notification! i've been tracking my orders on a spreadsheet since maybe november of last year, and it's really helped me keep track of all of my orders.
i've had to call about a stolen package before, but the latest was usps - i had to convince express and REI that my packages were stolen from my doorstep, because usps allegedly delivered them at 730am that day (they usually don't come until about 2). they issued me refunds, so you should be ok just doing that - they'd probably give you the benefit of the doubt since it's the first time you're trying to claim a lost item.

actually i've had UPS issues but they've all been amazon - who usually does not scrutinize much. i was very upset when i ordered a video game, prime, and received an empty padded envelope that had been re-taped up. Annoyed

good luck! you should also mention when you call AE that you did not receive a shipment confirmation.

i'm so jealous. all of that sounds amazing! DH and i have been meaning to go there for years, but somehow never found the time to. we had a friend there - he has since moved. Frown he lived there for like 3-4 years, so it was not his fault but ours. i still hope to visit someday soon...

oops

Glad you got a nice rep. I have not been shopping there that much because of their customer service and how they got about returns at my store. Well my store closed up and now I got an email saying the outlets near me have an AE there.

nords price adjustment policy:
Sale Adjustment
If an item you have purchased is reduced in price within two weeks of your order date, we will happily adjust the sale price for you. Please note that we can only make one sale adjustment per item and designer goods originally purchased on sale are excluded.

darn - my order was placed over 3 weeks ago. i guess i can try return rebuy.... or else i'll just return. i'll prob keep the pumps tho since i'm in love with them.

which prompts me to link it here:
http://www.bluefly.com/vince-camu...detail.fly

great pump, great price... i paid 73.xx for them and i think i'm keeping them. heart vc and these are the perfect round toe suede pumps for me... i kept the 7.5 and put a heel insert in it. it's not the widest toebox but it's a super sexy pump and i heart the not-too-thin heel.

lol omg you are close to all the good food! Make sure you follow sprinkles for their whisper words. They often have b1g1 or free cupcakes. The VS is really close to where you're working. Just go straight down on 7th street-its in the Macy's plaza. Super tiny. Go there enough and they will recognize you and give you the stink eye lol...
laugh out loud I must suppress myself from eating it all!! I will gain soooo much weight. Which is a Nono

I've never done one of the Sprinkle's whisper words even though I've seen them posted. I would think you'd have to buy something too. I'm trying to avoid walking in. It looks like I will have to walk past that sign every.single.day. shake head How am I gonna do it?!

That VS sounds like a mean bunch. Maybe I need to stick to my small store!

Iagree i think we need to all get together and have a cupcake-eating party, so the icing ppl can eat all that sweet icing and the cake ppl can eat all the rest! sd should sponsor it. Stick Out Tongue i do tend to like cupcake frosting more than cake frosting tho. yes, there is a difference to me.

Oh noes!!! We can get them for free by just whispering the words? Do you really whisper it to them? I find that so awkward. I haven't seen them post those whisper words much on Facebook anymore...And I can only go for the free ones? OMG I would be afraid to bring it into the office if I'm only eating it myself. They might think I'm greedy laugh out loud

And oh noes to Express Faint I bet that will be how I will be spending my lunches Faint

Gosh, I hope so! I'm one of those people that can open a bag of chips and finish the costco size bag by myself. Not in one sitting, but I can probably do 1/3 of the bag. I have no self control x_x

I agree about cupcake eating party Whee And you're right - cupcake and cake frosting are different. I can eat the cupcake one and I usually do, but I can't eat the cake one. Cupcake one is sooooo much better drool Getting hungry thinking about it now!
