Check your wishlists if you've been hoping to find something. </p> <p>Re the adjustment policy, I try not to get to exercised about stuff like that, and also try not to buy if I'm not going to be OK with paying the original price. I just wish they'd be consistent about it - the rules should be the same for everyone, and not vary depending on which CS agent you talk to or whether you do it online or on the phone or in person. OK, rant over. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-items-marked-down/page/2#post-1550482 Wed, 02 Sep 2015 20:48:45 +0000 Susie 1550482@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Una, unfortunately I don't have a store near me. Actually that's probably a good thing!</p> <p>Viva, I do agree that it makes sense. I think I am annoyed because I don't take advantage of their generous return policy...I promptly return things and would never hold on to those sweaters for months and then return them for a full refund. So an adjustment request seemed reasonable. But $25 isn't going to break me so it's really not a big deal. I think I am just cranky today :)</p> <p></p> <p></p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-items-marked-down/page/2#post-1550425 Wed, 02 Sep 2015 19:16:32 +0000 viva 1550425@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Susie, I think using NAS for "statement" items is generally a good idea, based on what it happening now. I did get the current adjustment on the Haute Hippie dress but it was only a $25 difference, and if I hadn't gotten it, I would have been fine. It was a statement piece purchase on major discount at NAS and missing out on $25 would not have bothered me.</p> <p>On the other hand, there may be certain functional items that we know are NAS items that apparently do not get marked down afterward -- like the Natori Feathers bra and panties that I bought at NAS. Definitely worth it, and not marked down at this time.</p> <p>BTW, I do understand when they won't honor the discount now for items that are not available, like the tops you have where they no longer have that color. It stinks, but to me it makes sense. I think you should hold onto the color that you love, even the one that you still paid the NAS price for. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-items-marked-down/page/2#post-1550365 Wed, 02 Sep 2015 17:34:57 +0000 Susie 1550365@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Peri, you are right that it probably shouldn't be more than a minor irritation. If I thought that the sweater was worth $100 when I bought it, I shouldn't mind having paid that.&nbsp;But to see things at 40-50% markdown (similar to end of season clearance price) before the season has even started,&nbsp;makes it seem&nbsp;like the original price was unrealistic and $100 should be considered the regular price.&nbsp;So why spend money in July for a sweater I will start wearing in November??</p> <p>Perhaps the lesson is to&nbsp;use NAS for the more statement pieces and just wait on the more basic things.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-items-marked-down/page/2#post-1550354 Wed, 02 Sep 2015 17:15:03 +0000 catseye 1550354@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think in general if you stay away from halogen/caslon, you are much less likely to run into this problem. I only had one item this year that went below NAS prices. All the other items are still full price or sold out. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-items-marked-down#post-1550349 Wed, 02 Sep 2015 17:04:56 +0000 Peri 1550349@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Susie, yeah, it's a pain, but think about it. You saw something you loved and the price was agreeable to you. And no, you couldn't have had it for less, because it sold out. I don't think you should let that ruin your enjoyment of what you bought. At some point we have to just stop dwelling on finding the lowest price or we'd never buy anything until end of season or at resale.&nbsp;</p> <p>I do think Nordstrom shouldn't do this to their NAS. It does make a person doubt it. But you did get good things at a good price that you couldn't have gotten if you had waited. I would keep them and enjoy them.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-items-marked-down#post-1550347 Wed, 02 Sep 2015 17:01:53 +0000 Banoffi 1550347@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for posting this, Beth.&nbsp; I'm going to have a look online when I get a chance.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-items-marked-down#post-1550345 Wed, 02 Sep 2015 16:58:09 +0000 catgirl 1550345@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Susie, could you not walk into a store, return the items, and then buy them right back?&nbsp; Or do you not have a store near you?&nbsp; Sorry, can't remember.&nbsp; Either way, a total PITA. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-items-marked-down#post-1550343 Wed, 02 Sep 2015 16:56:54 +0000 Susie 1550343@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Just called...got the same story (more than 2 weeks + size/color not available). I kind of pushed it and she ended up giving me an adjustment on 1 but not both. It does make me less eager to shop NAS. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-items-marked-down#post-1550340 Wed, 02 Sep 2015 16:53:28 +0000 Anonymous 1550340@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you Beth! I just arranged for two price adjustments, total value $150.</p> <p>Thank you!</p> <p>And thank you Nordstrom, only store credit card I have because you're so wonderful! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-items-marked-down#post-1550339 Wed, 02 Sep 2015 16:51:56 +0000 Peri 1550339@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you so much for posting this! I just got a $45 credit!</p> <p>It does seem really poor policy to claim the NAS is so great and then cut even more. But more than half of what I kept is NOT on sale now, so I still feel decent. The credit is nice, but if I thought something was a price I could live with during the sale, to have it now a bit lower is irritating but not a deal breaker in my book.&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-items-marked-down#post-1550333 Wed, 02 Sep 2015 16:46:06 +0000 Susie 1550333@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes, I am disappointed. I would have just re-bought them and returned the originals (which seems so wasteful) but with the colors/sizes not available I can't. Now I am wondering if I should just return them altogether. I like them and I want them but it just doesn't sit well with me that I have new items with tags still on that are basically now being sold at clearance pricing. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-items-marked-down#post-1550330 Wed, 02 Sep 2015 16:44:11 +0000 catgirl 1550330@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I just got a price adjustment of about $100 on the three items I kept.&nbsp; Thank you!&nbsp; It helps to go directly through the SA I worked with too.&nbsp; Lesson learned: next year just grit teeth and wait it out.</p> <p>I did return the Rebecca Taylor fringed cardi which was too overwhelming even in XS - I think it's made for taller gals.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-items-marked-down#post-1550269 Wed, 02 Sep 2015 15:36:19 +0000 Beth 1550269@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Susie, that really stinks. My items were still in stock so maybe that made the difference? It's certainly been over 2 weeks. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-items-marked-down#post-1550265 Wed, 02 Sep 2015 15:34:37 +0000 Beth 1550265@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So glad this is helpful! I should have mentioned that I requested and received several price adjustments on NAS items using live chat with no issues. </p> <p>All of my NAS pieces are still tagged and unworn, so it made sense to at least ask. I saved $150-ish! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-items-marked-down#post-1550264 Wed, 02 Sep 2015 15:33:51 +0000 catseye 1550264@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have only one item that dropped in price from NAS. But my size/color combo is no longer available. I wonder whether they will give me an adjustment?&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-items-marked-down#post-1550249 Wed, 02 Sep 2015 15:16:14 +0000 carter 1550249@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Susie, I just got an adjustment 2 seconds ago&nbsp;on that cashmere tunic. I had ordered one, so that one was handled. Another I bought in store, so I'm waiting for my SA to get back to me.&nbsp; I would call and talk to a live human.</p> <p>I got $170 back this morning on my online items. $30 something is pending from in-store purchases.&nbsp; That should pay for the two pair of pants on their way to me now.&nbsp;Hooray!</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-items-marked-down#post-1550230 Wed, 02 Sep 2015 14:58:56 +0000 Susie 1550230@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The Halogen cashmere sweater I bought- in 2 colors- went from $100 NAS price to now $75. I used the chat feature to request an adjustment and was told that since it was over 2 weeks and that the same colors are no longer available she couldn't do it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-items-marked-down#post-1550198 Wed, 02 Sep 2015 14:29:18 +0000 viva 1550198@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I called this morning and got a $25 price adjustment on a dress I bought in mid-July during NAS. Very easy and the SA was as nice as could be. </p> <p>Eliza is right, though: having order and item numbers is really helpful.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-items-marked-down#post-1550171 Wed, 02 Sep 2015 13:48:40 +0000 Eliza 1550171@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Beth- much gratitude for sharing this. &nbsp;I just received almost $70 in credits from NAS purchases (could have been $90-ish, but some items were sold out). &nbsp;I have to say that the Nordie's website makes your search for specific items tedious (perhaps because I placed lots of NAS orders, rather than one big one and don't have a Nordstrom's card). I called prepared with order numbers and specific items identified to facilitate the process.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-items-marked-down#post-1549980 Wed, 02 Sep 2015 02:51:46 +0000 Vix 1549980@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for the heads up, Beth! I don't access my wish list much and don't expect a pre-fall sale price to be more than before Labor Day!</p> <p>One of my two purchases was marked down more than the NAS price by $30, and I got a refund via live chat. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-items-marked-down#post-1549904 Wed, 02 Sep 2015 00:27:38 +0000 carter 1549904@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Not NAS, but I did find these on deep sale at Nordstrom now. I know there are quite a few Ink/Navy fans here, so thought I'd post them. They also come in black. Limited sizes available.</p> <p>I ordered them, but it always takes awhile for them to arrive. Love that there are back pockets and a cute little hem split in the back. Has anyone seen them IRL? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-items-marked-down#post-1549886 Tue, 01 Sep 2015 23:33:02 +0000 Thistle 1549886@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I checked, and a 2 items totaling $10. Not going to bother, but I would for $50. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-items-marked-down#post-1549878 Tue, 01 Sep 2015 23:08:57 +0000 Mochi 1549878@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The Brenna leather jacket with the shearling collar is now 40% off, so $418 (about $40 less than NAS prices?) IME not all the sales people have been receptive to giving back the difference.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-items-marked-down#post-1549873 Tue, 01 Sep 2015 22:59:32 +0000 Anonymous 1549873@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Invaluable information, Beth. &nbsp;You saved me an additional $25. &nbsp;they gave me the price difference over the phone. &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-items-marked-down#post-1549862 Tue, 01 Sep 2015 22:40:49 +0000 Laura (rhubarbgirl) 1549862@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, Suz. All my NAS items still have the tags on, too, so I could do the whole reorder/return dance, I just would rather not have to. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-items-marked-down#post-1549826 Tue, 01 Sep 2015 21:27:00 +0000 Suz 1549826@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Laura, it says 2 weeks on the website, but when I called they gave it to me anyway. The fact is, I could have sent these items back at the price I paid and simply reordered if they had refused. (Not that I would want to deal with that -- given the various cross border shopping issues I face -- but they don't know about that).&nbsp;</p> <p>Two of my items were unworn with tags still on. Two (the VC tube skirts) I have already worn. Again, they did not ask.&nbsp;</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-items-marked-down#post-1549822 Tue, 01 Sep 2015 21:18:29 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1549822@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The YLF Finds are a great way to track the markdowns. I just got notice that two of my finds, which also happen to be NAS items, were marked down. One I haven't worn yet, and I'll probably take it in for the adjustment, as the tags are still on. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-items-marked-down#post-1549788 Tue, 01 Sep 2015 20:08:30 +0000 Laura (rhubarbgirl) 1549788@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Suz, did they give you a price adjustment on stuff that was purchased more than two weeks ago? Last time I checked, that was the limit they told me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-items-marked-down#post-1549774 Tue, 01 Sep 2015 19:41:38 +0000 Suz 1549774@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I just saved $50 on several items by calling for a price adjustment. It's worth it!!&nbsp; </p>
