I dislike dealing with them.&nbsp;</p> <p>The worst was when my order never came. Luckily, this was through Nordstrom's, who immediately took it off my bill and refunded the money.&nbsp;</p> <p>And sometimes Border Free is the only option.&nbsp;</p> <p>A girl's gotta do what she's gotta do.&nbsp;</p> <p>Another option is to find a kind American friend who will do the shipping for you. It has happened here... &nbsp;:)&nbsp;</p> <p>(We return the favour by offering to ship them anything they want from Danier..)&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/buying-from-old-navy-in-the-states#post-1332158 Fri, 15 Aug 2014 23:57:49 +0000 Alana in Canada 1332158@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I know there's a Calgarian among us... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/buying-from-old-navy-in-the-states#post-1332156 Fri, 15 Aug 2014 23:54:18 +0000 lyn* 1332156@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>ModCloth usually takes about a week. Ruche takes about two weeks. Anthropologie can take 3 days to a week.</p> <p>Mmm, 2-3 weeks is probably long-ish. My Nordies purchase via Borderfree took about 1 month. I would think it would be faster because you're paying upfront for customs/handling.&nbsp;</p> <p>I hope that helps? :p</p> <p>PS: I can bring my imaginary friend... or I'm not sure if there's more Albertans. I'm sure there have to be... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/buying-from-old-navy-in-the-states#post-1332153 Fri, 15 Aug 2014 23:51:41 +0000 Alana in Canada 1332153@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi Lyn--sure! It would probably be the tiniest YLF meet-up ever! (I doubt you can get smaller than 2. :)</p> <p>I ordered a duvet from Macy's using Borderfree last Spring. I thought 2-3 weeks was normal. Land's end took a week and a day--is that more typical? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/buying-from-old-navy-in-the-states#post-1332145 Fri, 15 Aug 2014 23:46:25 +0000 lyn* 1332145@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Don't ship with BorderFree ... ever... the fees are crazy, and they take forever. I'd rather buy more expensive tops from another place :p&nbsp;</p> <p>I bought something with BorderFree once about 5 years ago... haha, never again. I think Suz has struggled with them too!! </p> <p>PS: We should do a West Ed mini-YLF meetup sometime!!!</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/buying-from-old-navy-in-the-states#post-1332144 Fri, 15 Aug 2014 23:43:40 +0000 Alana in Canada 1332144@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes, I just checked, these are new arrivals. Thanks for that tip. I will stalk the Canadian site. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/buying-from-old-navy-in-the-states#post-1331771 Fri, 15 Aug 2014 15:30:40 +0000 Emily 1331771@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Alana, it is possible -&nbsp;I've ordered from Gap.com and Athleta, which are under the same umbrella. &nbsp;They ship with borderfree (or whatever it is called these days), a service I dislike. &nbsp;</p> <p>Pros: Greater selection on the US site, you know the "landed cost" including duties and taxes right up front</p> <p>Cons: shipping&nbsp;is slow, shipping + taxes + duties are&nbsp;expensive, the returns come with ridiculous processing fees, you can't apply coupon codes &nbsp;</p> <p>Ditto Glory, though - is the top a new arrival? &nbsp;I have also noticed that things tend to pop up on the US site first. &nbsp;A particular colour of trousers I was eyeing on the US Banana republic site took a couple of weeks to pop up on the Canadian site.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/buying-from-old-navy-in-the-states#post-1331717 Fri, 15 Aug 2014 14:35:24 +0000 Glory 1331717@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi. Old Navy has the same for men - I have to order online for my son who is extra tall. I am not sure about ordering from the US. I wanted to pop in and say that if the items is a "new arrival" on the US site - it may still come onto the Canadian site. I wonder if you could phone the online division and ask. It might be worth a try. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/buying-from-old-navy-in-the-states#post-1331709 Fri, 15 Aug 2014 14:26:53 +0000 Alana in Canada 1331709@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hello, fellow Canadians!</p> <p>Old Navy does not carry plus sizes in store, "only on-line" as the salesperson so helpfully told me.</p> <p>Inge has picked out some tops for me I would like to check out. (see below, plus this in teal and a cowl neck sweater I forgot to collect.)</p> <p>However, they are only available on the US site--and not the Canadian.</p> <p>#1. Has anyone ordered from the US site, here in Canada?<br />#2. How is duty and shipping? returns?<br />but it occurs to me--<br />#3 Is it even possible?</p> <p>I have to run off to work. Will check back when I'm able.... </p>
