I am returning any &nbsp;number of things, some of which I might have kept a few years ago-but now trying to use my fab-goggles. I do also have to be careful about who charges for shipping.&nbsp;A certain amount can be chalked up to the cost of "shopping," but it does limit my ordering, and so to some extent my exploration of items that might have been good. Always best not to keep something that will not work and worse, will annoy you forever. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/in-the-cold-light-of-day---returns#post-964520 Tue, 25 Jun 2013 23:50:53 +0000 Nanabear 964520@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Return shipping costs are nasty - but better this than leaving the items lying around, taking up space and never loved. &nbsp;Hugs and good luck on the ebay sale! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/in-the-cold-light-of-day---returns#post-964490 Tue, 25 Jun 2013 22:35:40 +0000 Suz 964490@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sad on your behalf but also super proud of you. I really think it's worth it to clear the clutter from the closet. It irks me to have stuff that doesn't actually work for me. By clearing it out, you are making room for the right stuff, even if it comes at a small financial loss. Who knows, maybe the things you end up buying instead will be reduced in price.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/in-the-cold-light-of-day---returns#post-964487 Tue, 25 Jun 2013 22:28:51 +0000 Diana 964487@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I just returned that too-big trench to 6pm. It was surprisingly expensive to ship back - who knew that supposedly packable trench weighed 2.5 pounds! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/in-the-cold-light-of-day---returns#post-964484 Tue, 25 Jun 2013 22:08:28 +0000 cinnamon fern 964484@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Be strong! &nbsp;In these cases I usually end up keeping the item and regretting it in the end. &nbsp;Which is why I've banned myself from anything but free shipping and returns. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/in-the-cold-light-of-day---returns#post-964482 Tue, 25 Jun 2013 21:59:48 +0000 Mo 964482@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Good have some commiseration. &nbsp;Sadly, the cost to try on is a very real issue &nbsp;Boo. &nbsp;The downside of mail order. &nbsp;In person, I would have left each and every one of these behind for the reasons I mentioned. &nbsp; But once you pay to ship, blah blah blah, it starts to taint your idea of 'worth' of keeping vs returning. &nbsp;Sigh. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/in-the-cold-light-of-day---returns#post-964476 Tue, 25 Jun 2013 21:49:03 +0000 Thistle 964476@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Good for you for keeping your closet free of almosts!&nbsp; Yes, a high price to pay, but better to pay the return shipping than be out the whole price of the garment as you know you will never reach for it.</p> <p>Good luck on the ebay sale! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/in-the-cold-light-of-day---returns#post-964474 Tue, 25 Jun 2013 21:45:12 +0000 annagybe 964474@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I spent $15 trying this jacket on</p> <p><a href="http://www.saksfifthavenue.com/main/ProductDetail.jsp?PRODUCT%3C%3Eprd_id=845524446564588&#038;R=885834209269&#038;P_name=The+Man+Repeller+x+PJK&#038;sid=61372188071629&#038;Ntt=manrepeller&#038;N=0&#038;bmUID=jZZfjAc" rel="nofollow">http://www.saksfifthavenue.com.....ID=jZZfjAc</a></p> <p>Free shipping is never free for me because I have my packages sent to a UPS store and they charge $5 a box to receive them.
