And that was for my first round(s) of orders...I've now got a bunch more ready to pack up. The returns aren't fun but I love being able to try things on at home and evaluate them among the rest of my wardrobe. And I didn't have to drive to the store to shop or to return. </p> <p>Not having a Nordstrom in my state does have one huge advantage and that is that I don't pay any sales tax on my purchases. So with free shipping and free returns the packing up is more than worth it to me. </p> <p>Though I sure do have a ton of little boxes to recycle!</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/reality-bites#post-1526355 Fri, 24 Jul 2015 13:16:10 +0000 Thistle 1526355@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yeah, bee there, and it does bite. Wish there was a Nordies in my state so I didn't have to order just to try on. I return so much. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/reality-bites#post-1526199 Fri, 24 Jul 2015 05:31:58 +0000 CocoLion 1526199@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am all too familiar with this! &nbsp;One thing I love about Shopbop, everything comes in one box. &nbsp;It seems like everyone else has individual boxes -- Amazon, Macy's, Nordstrom, even a recent J Crew order came in separate boxes. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/reality-bites#post-1526160 Fri, 24 Jul 2015 02:33:44 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1526160@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Awww. No fun. And geez, you're almost done--good for you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/reality-bites#post-1526150 Fri, 24 Jul 2015 02:00:38 +0000 Sveta 1526150@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes, a big pile but I would gladly pack those many boxes to return weekly if only I could get free shipping and duty free orders from Nordstrom to Canada!<br />Banoffi is right - you can have this service from USPS. I &nbsp;discovered this when I was on a business trip in US, ordered a bunch of stuff to the hotel - and then realized that I don't have a car and there are miles to the closest post office! I was &nbsp;ready to call a taxi even though the idea of getting all these boxes into a taxi terrified me - but then I discovered that USPS offers the home pickup which cna be scheduled online. It was a life saver for sure!<br />Now maybe this pile of boxes AT HOME does not look too bad for you :-0&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/reality-bites#post-1526099 Fri, 24 Jul 2015 00:23:19 +0000 Traci 1526099@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh JAileen! &nbsp;I'm glad you said that. &nbsp;I put two orders in one box, but I was a little nervous about it.</p> <p>Now I just need a roll of packing tape and I'm in business! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/reality-bites#post-1526096 Fri, 24 Jul 2015 00:17:47 +0000 JAileen 1526096@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You don't have to keep things in their original boxes, either. You can cram everything into one box if they fit. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/reality-bites#post-1526094 Fri, 24 Jul 2015 00:12:12 +0000 Traci 1526094@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That's a great tip, Banoffi. &nbsp;I didn't know you could do that. &nbsp;I don't think I'd have the guts to drag all these boxes into the office to give the mailman. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/reality-bites#post-1526091 Fri, 24 Jul 2015 00:06:32 +0000 Banoffi 1526091@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow - that's a lot of returns! I do love the free shipping and free returns though. It makes trying items I wouldn't normally get a lot more appealing. </p> <p>I don't know if you know that you can arrange for the post office to pick up your returns at your house or office? You go online and schedule a pickup -- select the "return services" option. I find this so much easier than lugging boxes to the post office. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/reality-bites#post-1526082 Thu, 23 Jul 2015 23:52:40 +0000 JAileen 1526082@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I just did the same. I boxed up a bunch of stuff to send back to Nordstrom (two shrugs, SE Okalas, and Kut grey skinny jeans), returned a bunch to Macys in person (two men's polo shirts, skirt, top, and rain jacket) and also stopped by Sierra Trading Post and picked up an order (two jackets) and retured some stuff (two hats). I have a lot of cardboard boxes laying around. I was lucky to run into the mailman on the way and avoid having to go to the post office. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/reality-bites#post-1526071 Thu, 23 Jul 2015 23:37:22 +0000 Angie 1526071@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yeah. The not so fab part of online shopping. But once you get through it, you're good. Free shipping.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/reality-bites#post-1526068 Thu, 23 Jul 2015 23:36:51 +0000 Aida 1526068@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That's quite the pile! I have something similar but after stacking it all up... decided I'd better just return in person -_- </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/reality-bites#post-1526067 Thu, 23 Jul 2015 23:36:35 +0000 Anonymous 1526067@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>How annoying for you. At least I an take mine to a near-by Nordstroms ( and often come home with more to try). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/reality-bites#post-1526059 Thu, 23 Jul 2015 23:26:41 +0000 Windchime 1526059@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yikes! That doesn't look very fun. At least you don't have to pay postage. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/reality-bites#post-1526049 Thu, 23 Jul 2015 23:21:25 +0000 Traci 1526049@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Getting to the business of packing up my returns. </p>
