I’m at work and tried this and the Barbour jacket is back and I don’t know what my info is! Ack ack! And now the screen has gone black! Ack! </p> <p>ETA: And success! Got back home and it was down to one available in my size and I nabbed it! I hope this size works out. Maybe I should have just gone with the six. The teal pants to match the blazer didn't work in a 4, so that's on re-order again.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-shopping-strategy-two-steps-to-hunting-for-restocks#post-2332567 Fri, 28 Jul 2023 11:42:53 +0000 Jaime 2332567@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you! I have to say this year nothing really came back for restock I wanted. I am hopeful one the sale is over I can exchange for size some of the items I snagged in the last size left. Prior years always had sale items available again. This year might be a little different.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-shopping-strategy-two-steps-to-hunting-for-restocks#post-2332503 Thu, 27 Jul 2023 22:01:51 +0000 Suz 2332503@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is such helpful advice, Ginger -- thank you!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-shopping-strategy-two-steps-to-hunting-for-restocks#post-2332493 Thu, 27 Jul 2023 20:32:04 +0000 Ginger 2332493@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Awesome, gryffin! I'm hoping for a size up in the Teal Storm t-shirt but I'll be happy if I just keep the one I got. Other than that I've gotten everything I was shopping for! I find I do enjoy the hunt, so the NAS experience is even more fun than just regular sale shopping. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-shopping-strategy-two-steps-to-hunting-for-restocks#post-2332483 Thu, 27 Jul 2023 18:18:19 +0000 gryffin 2332483@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ginger - we could be shopping twins. I managed to get the AllSaints Elora right away. But stalked exactly by your method for the Barbour constable, the Zella hoodie and Vince cardigan. All popped back. Although sometimes I got cancelled. Now I’m stalking the hoodie in xs. It’s great advice and it certainly works! Hoping you got everything you stalked!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-shopping-strategy-two-steps-to-hunting-for-restocks#post-2332481 Thu, 27 Jul 2023 17:58:41 +0000 Ginger 2332481@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>If you're able to shop in the first few days this is probably a lot less important. I'm not a cardholder at all, though, and all or most of my wishlist sells out before I can shop. Catching when restocks pop up is how I've been able to get everything I wanted to try.</p> <p><b>The Nordstrom website and app does not show colors or sizes that are completely out-of-stock. </b>See Picture 1 for an example. During the NAS preview, this Caslon long sleeve t-shirt had 6-8 colors, and in at least 6 sizes. Right now, only 2 colors and 4 sizes total are available.<br />  - You <i>can't</i> add the Purple Sheer color to your Wishlist, because there's no Purple Sheer available in any color.<br />  - </p> <p>You <i>can't </i>add a Black Medium, because although there are Black shirts, there's no medium available in any color.<br />  - You <i>can <b></b></i>add the Black Small to your wishlist, because other sizes in Black are still available, and other colors of Small are available. Then you will see it instantly on your Wishlist when Black Small is restocked.<br /> This is how in Picture 2, the Blue Shadow color is still on my wishlist. I added it when the color was available in at least one size. I can click through and it shows me just the black and white now. </p> <p>I never get email notifications when something on my Wishlist is available, and rarely get app notifications. But this worked:</p> <p>1. <b>Preview: </b>Put <i>everything </i>you think you might want to try on your wishlist. All colors you're interested in, in all sizes you think you might need to try. (Add Finds for them as well.)</p> <p>2. <b>During the sale: </b>Use the Nordstrom app on your phone. Leave it up 24/7, on the Wishlist. Every time you pick up your phone, check the wishlist. It will refresh itself, with restocked items at the top. If you see a restock, order right away!</p> <p>Lots of things on my wishlist sold out before I could order. I was checking the website version of my wishlist periodically for days after that, but didn't see any restocking. It was discouraging. Finally Wednesday late I thought of the app, so I opened it up and discovered how the wishlist would refresh itself. As a result, I ended up ordering 6 newly-restocked items the very next day. All in different orders, as I saw them pop up at different times. (I got notifications for at most 2 of those items.)</p> <p>I've had a lot of success this year once I implemented this strategy. I know the sale feels like it's winding down, but there are lots of returns rolling in. Hope it helps! </p>
