I sometimes feel that way with Australian retailers in NZ - they add on $20 when the ER suggests it should be $8-$10 and the range is not as good. Suz on "NAS Canada" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-canada-1/page/2#post-2213686 Tue, 03 Aug 2021 18:38:12 +0000 Suz 2213686@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Very good points, Sal. I agree with all you have said. It doesn't fully explain the difference between availability of items between Canada and the US (if they can be had in the US from this merchant, why not Canada) but the Canadian market is so much smaller -- they probably want to play it safe. And costs are high to send items across the border willy nilly. It might just cause too much confusion. So they are playing it safe.  Angie on "NAS Canada" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-canada-1/page/2#post-2213670 Tue, 03 Aug 2021 17:18:41 +0000 Angie 2213670@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Sal, thank you for your thorough and level headed explanations. They make a LOT of sense. Very good reminders that we are still in the middle of a global pandemic, and that life is no way near smooth sailing - especially in an industry that was struggling before the pandemic. Sal on "NAS Canada" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-canada-1/page/2#post-2213531 Mon, 02 Aug 2021 20:08:45 +0000 Sal 2213531@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I think supply is a real issue this year because demand is higher - and Production is badly impacted in many places such as India, Vietnam and Thailand that were not as affected last year. Shipping channels are also under huge stress - possibly more here than in North America - for logistical reasons. Let alone the extra precautions in place along the way…. Different market I know but at the moment bikes and tennis balls are in very very short supply. There is demand but no supply…… I had to replace my phone. I basically said - what do you have in stock - retailers were advertising some models but delivery was months out….. I think the rest of the year will be like this - it is frustrating when retailers are tempting you but can’t deliver.

Onward, indeed! Suz and LisaP, I wonder if it's worth talking to Nordies about on their FB page? If you feel like it.... Suz on "NAS Canada" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-canada-1/page/2#post-2213481 Mon, 02 Aug 2021 17:51:17 +0000 Suz 2213481@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Yes, I get it, Lisa. I'm not into it, either.  Onwards to the Bay!  Anonymous on "NAS Canada" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-canada-1/page/2#post-2213476 Mon, 02 Aug 2021 17:49:38 +0000 Anonymous 2213476@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I have had good experiences with the Bay online - shipping is very quick and returns are super easy to do in store .  With regards to NAS in Canada, it's been a complete bust for me. Every single thing I put on my wish list was gone when I was able to order, and  I've checked back a few times and all are still sold out. I'm not buying into that emotional "wish list building " exercise again . I really don't have time nor the interest in checking back and stalking things - it's a turn-off more than anything for a shopper like me.  Suz on "NAS Canada" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-canada-1/page/2#post-2213475 Mon, 02 Aug 2021 17:49:13 +0000 Suz 2213475@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Oops, spoke too soon -- they just cancelled my last pair of undies. OY vey.  This is very frustrating. I'd say they had more options at last year's sale than this year's -- and surely supply is not the problem this year to the extent it might have been last year.  Suz on "NAS Canada" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-canada-1/page/2#post-2213467 Mon, 02 Aug 2021 17:43:50 +0000 Suz 2213467@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Thank you all for commiseration and support! It's really mystifying why they can't let us order the same merchandise, or at least most of it.  To make matters worse, when I did figure out an order, they cancelled half of it! I decided to stock up on some undies in a colour to match two of my current bras -- but am only getting one pair.  I did manage to order some bras (not on the US site) but am not sure they will work. I decided to go back on my vow not to buy undies since it is definitely cheaper when I can find them and on re-examination, a few of my other bras were looking tired.  Anyway -- the bag is the only item I'm really looking forward to. The rest is socks and one pair of underpants. :)  Carla, I am going to investigate the Bay again. They've frustrated me beyond belief in the past (the stores and the online experience) but it sounds as if they have stepped up their online game. Good to know.  Angie on "NAS Canada" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-canada-1/page/2#post-2213462 Mon, 02 Aug 2021 17:38:46 +0000 Angie 2213462@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ That sucks. I empathize with Team Canada :( Why can't Nordies Canada and Nordies USA simply stock the same items! It would eliminate much frustration and disappointment.  Marilyn on "NAS Canada" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-canada-1/page/2#post-2212786 Fri, 30 Jul 2021 05:16:29 +0000 Marilyn 2212786@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Hi, Lisa!

I was wondering about that, as I've clicked a few things from here and other sites, but when I try to find them on the Canadian site, no luck Glad you had a small amount of success at least!

So stupid! smittie on "NAS Canada" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-canada-1#post-2211285 Wed, 21 Jul 2021 20:10:55 +0000 smittie 2211285@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Oh right! You don’t need winter boots anymore! Or at least, you don’t need to be constantly buying new ones!

I would be going for those boots if I were still in Ontario, for sure.  Kkards -- very true re the medical stuff. I am grateful for that.  Lisa, I think the jacket could work brilliantly on you -- and now that I have seen it on Christina I'm more tempted to try it myself, LOL. Anyway -- you have an inch or two on me and I think the ability to wear that shape. A lot depends on the details of the cut and the ones I had in the early 90s were not just oversized but (quite honestly) probably too big for me in the first place. So... smittie on "NAS Canada" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-canada-1#post-2211272 Wed, 21 Jul 2021 17:40:36 +0000 smittie 2211272@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Suz, You win some and you lose some. You also have to be in the mood for all the shopping, right? I’m excited for the “save the duck” puffers and the LaC.

Yup, we pay less for NAS (maybe clothing over all), but we also have to worry about being bankrupted by an illness/medical situation, so….

If it were a plain plain, I wouldn't look twice at it but something is grabbing me.  You're much better attuned to proportions than I am, so thank you for giving me something to watch for if I do order it. Suz on "NAS Canada" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-canada-1#post-2211254 Wed, 21 Jul 2021 15:37:47 +0000 Suz 2211254@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Nadya, yes -- that is so true. I am often appalled at the lack of variety for plus sizes. Even where variety is available to "regular" sizes.  Lisa P, that looks like a good selection. I'm strangely not attracted to that Treasure and Bond jacket, even though it's clearly my colour palette. I have photos of myself in the late 80s/ early 90s wearing those loose jackets with wide shoulders and I shudder now at the sight of myself in them. Somehow a bad look for someone with my proportions. But I think it would be brilliant on a true IT body type or someone a bit taller than me.  Thanks for the extra info on the bag, Janet, and for the vote of confidence, Inge! I think the bag will be just right for times I don't need one of my humongous sacks, LOL.  Nadya on "NAS Canada" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-canada-1#post-2211238 Wed, 21 Jul 2021 13:27:55 +0000 Nadya 2211238@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Oh, do I sympathize, Suz! So often plus sizes get items  onky in black that straight sizes have in other colors. Glad you found that handbag!  Carla on "NAS Canada" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-canada-1#post-2211237 Wed, 21 Jul 2021 13:23:35 +0000 Carla 2211237@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I was looking at the treasure and bond jacket myself.  Nice piece!

I think you will like it if the size works for you. It's *just* big enough for me for a day bag as long as I don't need to carry any extras. I have the Minkoff nylon bag for that! Haha, we will be gunmetal bag twins.  I'm always floored by the difference in CAN and USA prices. The Edelman sneakers are $49 here and $79 there.
