Does cut down on impulse buying I suppose. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/do-not-leave-any-retail-stone-unturned---a-tragi-comic-story#post-2020353 Wed, 17 Apr 2019 14:55:34 +0000 Stagiaire Fash 2020353@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Anchie, I’m glad you just posted that. I’m here agonizing over which shoes to get; was just thinking I might just take several home and decide later BUT I will buy them with a coupon. I will be sure to ask about return policies! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/do-not-leave-any-retail-stone-unturned---a-tragi-comic-story#post-2020340 Wed, 17 Apr 2019 14:13:33 +0000 anchie 2020340@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am all too familiar with such return policy. Here you can get store credit only for things you bought full price. If you bought something on sale - not even that. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/do-not-leave-any-retail-stone-unturned---a-tragi-comic-story#post-2020339 Wed, 17 Apr 2019 14:10:46 +0000 Angie 2020339@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>Sisi,</b> it's the thought and effort that counts.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/do-not-leave-any-retail-stone-unturned---a-tragi-comic-story#post-2020336 Wed, 17 Apr 2019 13:58:46 +0000 Stagiaire Fash 2020336@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sisi, that’s like Germany, where I am now. But I can totally understand that you didn’t want to run right back to the shop where you’d bought the first one to return it, at the end of a long day shopping. </p> <p>I appreciate your post. I need to get shoes I started talking about in September, and also needed a bedsheet. I bought the sheet in a department store, and was planning to go to a specialty shop for the shoes. Then I got a coupon in the depot store for 20% off on shoes, today only, and am very tempted to just get them here &amp;get it over with! So thanks for your reminder of where “getting it over with” can go. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/do-not-leave-any-retail-stone-unturned---a-tragi-comic-story#post-2020279 Wed, 17 Apr 2019 08:06:36 +0000 Sisi 2020279@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>Angie</b> - unfortunately this&nbsp;was not&nbsp;a happy ending. I am sorry I bought&nbsp;my friend a gift that was not exactly what she had in mind&nbsp;when the perfect gift was in the nearby shop.</p> <p><b>Sal, Jane, Gigi</b> - yes!</p> <p><b>Fashintern</b> - I am in Italy. Return policy is not very flexible here. Some shops give you only fifteen days, or a week, to replace an item. </p> <p><b>Rachylou</b> - my friend finally decided,&nbsp;although a little reluctantly, to buy also the second cardigan with her money. At this point my goal was nullified.&nbsp;My friend&nbsp;is on a very tight budget at the moment and I wanted to help her save her money.</p> <p>Oh well, lesson learnt and let's see&nbsp;the comic side of the situation. I can imagine in the future my friend and I saying:&nbsp;Remember the perfect cardigan that appeared literally <b>one minute </b>after buying &nbsp;the&nbsp;"placeholder" ?

She had in mind&nbsp;a long lightweight cardigan, dressy but not too dressy, versatile, that she&nbsp;could wear for an upcoming wedding and&nbsp;also in&nbsp;everyday life. We went to a big mall and&nbsp;for hours looked&nbsp;hi and low with no luck. Finally at Motivi we found&nbsp;a cropped, elegant cardi and&nbsp; at this point my friend decided to "settle". So&nbsp;I&nbsp;bought it&nbsp;for her. It was late, we were tired and hungry, but I suggested to pop in quickly, just for the sake of it, in the nearby Carrera store. Carrera sells casual wear, jeans, plaid shirts and such. We enter and what do we see? The perfect cardigan in front of us!&nbsp;Aaargh!&nbsp;I thought of Angie and of her rule. I told my friend: lesson learnt! In the future we will look in <b>all </b>the stores and only then we will decide!&nbsp; </p>
