I honestly return about 90% of the things I buy, even the things I buy in the store rather than online. My husband is definitely NOT fond of the practice. And like Marley, I experience that same delicious feeling of freedom after I return something. I'm glad it's not just me! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/returning-and-rerurning-and-returning#post-262308 Tue, 07 Dec 2010 14:56:18 +0000 Bookarella 262308@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I feel your pain. Seems there has been a constant stream of Zappos and Nordstrom boxes going in and out of my house for months. I wonder what the UPS guy and the people down at the UPS store think of me sometimes! However, in the past I would keep something that I knew was not perfect for me just to keep from having to deal with the return. No more. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/returning-and-rerurning-and-returning#post-262298 Tue, 07 Dec 2010 14:12:02 +0000 MNsara 262298@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ha, Marley - My returns are the same - having hundreds (if not thousands) of miles on them before I actually take them in to be returned </p> <p>I feel worse returning in-person purchases from Nordstroms because those are the ones someone actually made commission from. At other stores, the returns only reduce someone's sales totals, but not directly their paycheck (right? or do I have to feel more guilt there too?) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/returning-and-rerurning-and-returning#post-262263 Tue, 07 Dec 2010 09:27:04 +0000 Dee 262263@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am the opposite! I wish I could make myself return more because I end up keeping things that aren't that great. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/returning-and-rerurning-and-returning#post-262233 Tue, 07 Dec 2010 07:19:54 +0000 Marley 262233@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I return a lot of things too. BUT before they are returned, they ride around in a shopping bag in the back seat of my car for several weeks. I HATE returning things - I always feel a little ashamed about it - sort of worried that I'm going to be scolded by the SA - or like someone else said, "black listed!" The thing is, once I return the items, I feel just so FREE - like a huge burden has been lifted from my shoulders - not sure what that is about! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/returning-and-rerurning-and-returning#post-262133 Tue, 07 Dec 2010 02:22:50 +0000 Angie 262133@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's inevitable if you purchase online extensively. I think Zappos is used to it. That's why they never go on sale! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/returning-and-rerurning-and-returning#post-262051 Tue, 07 Dec 2010 00:06:53 +0000 Lisa 262051@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I've returned more in the past few months, than probably the past 10 years. But I am much happier with the bulk of the items I do keep. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/returning-and-rerurning-and-returning#post-262049 Tue, 07 Dec 2010 00:04:23 +0000 biscuitsmom 262049@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Im SO glad Im not alone in this! I usually buy a few things, try them-they dont work out..then, knowing Im returning some items, I buy more! and more! they dont work either, so I repeat the pattern once again...I buy mostly online, which is the reason most things are returned. I hate t guess how much Ive lost in return shipping costs....Ive gotten really good about not bringing things home from the store without loving them, but I GOTTA break this bad habit! DH almost faints when he sees the credit card bill...recovers 'slightly' when I tell him most is being returned....sure wish some places were quicker to credit your account... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/returning-and-rerurning-and-returning#post-262047 Mon, 06 Dec 2010 23:54:19 +0000 tarzy 262047@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My people! I was just thinking the same thing - that Zappos is going to put me on a watch list of serial returners! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/returning-and-rerurning-and-returning#post-262039 Mon, 06 Dec 2010 23:35:48 +0000 Beth 262039@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't return much, but I'm looking for black boots which means my house is a revolving door of UPS boxes. Grrr. It really is frustrating, isn't it?! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/returning-and-rerurning-and-returning#post-262037 Mon, 06 Dec 2010 23:33:42 +0000 devon7 262037@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am a newbie (just posted my intro...) but wanted to chime in on this thread. I am SO glad to see that I'm not the only "serial returner" here. Part of why I shop so much at Nordstrom is their excellent return policy. I just returned 8 items last week (all unworn, of course, but up to 3 months old) and am so glad I did it. I think that it can be really hard to know whether or not something will work just based upon a fitting room impression (even harder with online orders). </p> <p>I started to make a policy for myself re: shopping (since I still do too much of it). If I haven't worn something within a month, I will return it. A few items have escaped that window, but I've found that it's generally a good policy. We should want to wear what we buy RIGHT AWAY. If we don't, it probably wasn't a good purchase. Buying sale items at the end of a season for next year is usually not a good thing to do. I have rarely been happy with those items by the time the next year rolls around! </p> <p>It's better to return lots of things than to have a bunch of unworn clothing with tags on them (or things worn just once or twice) in our closets. Nordie's hasn't banned me yet, and hopefully they never will! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/returning-and-rerurning-and-returning#post-261886 Mon, 06 Dec 2010 18:01:54 +0000 rae 261886@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Returning is definitely a pain, but I think I prefer it to the pain of passing something up only to be left pining for it later. That said, I know I prefer to try things on before buying online, if only because I hate going to the post office. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/returning-and-rerurning-and-returning#post-261882 Mon, 06 Dec 2010 17:57:36 +0000 cciele 261882@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yup, same here! As a matter of fact, I have some stuff to return today... whee!</p> <p>But it's definitely good not to settle. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/returning-and-rerurning-and-returning#post-261881 Mon, 06 Dec 2010 17:56:42 +0000 crwilson 261881@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm on a semi-shopping ban right now because I'm so darn tired of returning things. I'm afraid that Nordstrom is going to start sending me mean messages saying that I'm not allowed to buy anything anymore because I return 80-90% of what I order. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/returning-and-rerurning-and-returning#post-261879 Mon, 06 Dec 2010 17:51:07 +0000 Mamapicklejuice 261879@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh my yes! I'm expecting to get blacklisted from Zappos any day now. </p> <p>I was thinking just recently how tired I am of shopping, because it seem like almost nothing is working out (save some handbag purchases, and even those still have tags on).</p> <p>I'm desperate to sort out my shoe (ankle boot) situation...but I have had no luck yet with fit...it's hard to even work up enthusiasm, tho I do consider this a somewhat urgent need. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/returning-and-rerurning-and-returning#post-261869 Mon, 06 Dec 2010 17:29:17 +0000 Sarah 261869@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I know how you feel. I'm like that with Zappos. So sometimes I just make myself take a break from trying things (unless I'm in a hurry to get something). IE: Wait till everything is decided on/returned before I buy something else. It can get overwhelming for ME, not to mention frustrating for the stores. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/returning-and-rerurning-and-returning#post-261866 Mon, 06 Dec 2010 17:24:06 +0000 kellygirl 261866@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh yeah, I can totally relate. I'm hesitant to purchase because I'm so tired of returning. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/returning-and-rerurning-and-returning#post-261864 Mon, 06 Dec 2010 17:21:12 +0000 catgirl 261864@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I feel like that's all I've been doing lately. The folks at my local Nordstrom must think I'm insane. I guess it's a good sign that I am not "settling" but it sure is a frustrating way to shop sometimes....</p> <p>*cue tiny violin* </p>
