I have been commended for this by Nordstrom SAs as a smart idea so maybe its not that bad of a practice? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/re-stock-items#post-1707896 Thu, 04 Aug 2016 03:51:12 +0000 FindingMyWay 1707896@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I just learned you can exchange sizes after the sale, when items are restocked, and do so at the sale price. I wanted to try a jacket in a smaller size, but that size is no longer available online. So I used the chat feature to inquire about getting the item. Here's the answer I got: "As this is an<br /> anniversary item, it will be restocked once the sale ends. At that time,<br /> you will still be able to exchange it for the size you need.... [The exchange will be at the sale price] as long as it is for a different size, and not a different item!" </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/re-stock-items#post-1707687 Wed, 03 Aug 2016 18:48:40 +0000 julesegr 1707687@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes, I agree with BrieN. If there's something you really want, call or ask a SA to do a store search. There's usually one or two of anything somewhere in the country. I just got on of my sold-out ISOs that way. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/re-stock-items#post-1707629 Wed, 03 Aug 2016 16:04:54 +0000 BrieN 1707629@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My SA explained that Nordstrom and the labels/manufacturers have negotiated a fixed number of items to be sold at the reduced price early in the season for NAS. Generally once that number has been sold, they're gone until the next Fall shipment arrives at full price. &nbsp;That said I think there are some lines that restock during the sale but I don't know how to determine which they would be ahead of time.&nbsp;</p> <p>I have tracked down two sold out items this season by asking my SA to look them up in their system. They found them in a Nordies a couple of states over and have had them shipped to me.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/re-stock-items#post-1707615 Wed, 03 Aug 2016 15:09:55 +0000 njw 1707615@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Suz for confirmation we are thinking the same. &nbsp;Elle I have have noticed the same.</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/re-stock-items#post-1707614 Wed, 03 Aug 2016 15:07:53 +0000 Elle 1707614@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It is very hard to predict what will be restocked. &nbsp;So next year,if there is something that you absolutely love, I'd buy it right away. &nbsp;However, and this is a <b>big</b> however, a lot of things reappear a few months after the sale and at prices that are the same or lower than the anniversary sale prices. So I often wait </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/re-stock-items#post-1707565 Wed, 03 Aug 2016 13:49:45 +0000 Suz 1707565@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think that is correct, njw. Some are labelled "Nordstrom exclusives" so they aren't sold anywhere else. Some they can predict heavy sales for, and probably have backup orders in the wings. Some are their own brand, so they will probably be restocked after the sale (but not at sale prices and not always in the same colours/ patterns) -- e.g. Halogen.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/re-stock-items#post-1707558 Wed, 03 Aug 2016 13:44:15 +0000 njw 1707558@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am thinking some items are unique to Nordstroms for the Anniv. sale only, i.e. the LongChamp bag...so maybe what happens is a company only makes so many and then they are gone whereas the T. Turk coat that Banoffi referenced is a coat the company sells and has lots of inventory ? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/re-stock-items#post-1707542 Wed, 03 Aug 2016 13:16:15 +0000 Banoffi 1707542@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm not positive, but it looks like some items are restocked during NAS and come back in most or all sizes and colors. (This happened with the Trina Turk Military Coat in petite sizing). &nbsp;The only time other sold-out items become available, however, is when there are returns and then the item only come back in a size or two. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/re-stock-items#post-1707539 Wed, 03 Aug 2016 13:11:37 +0000 Suz 1707539@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It depends on the item and your size. If you are purchasing a higher end popular item and/or you are on either end of the size curve, my motto is buy buy quick during pre sale. It may not come back into stock or may only reappear for seconds on the first day of the official sale. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/re-stock-items#post-1707534 Wed, 03 Aug 2016 12:53:48 +0000 njw 1707534@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Is this usual practice that anniv. items are not re-stocked? &nbsp;It seems that the only time a sold out item is avail. is if there is a return. &nbsp;Has it always been this way? If so I will approach the sale differently next year. Thanks in advance</p>
