I was so touched by your offer to pick up the coat if need be - but when I called, the store had no problem shipping it directly to me from their store. </p> <p>Thanks again for the suggestion to call them, and especially offering to grab it for me if necessary - what a lovely thing to do for a virtual stranger. I feel like I've joined the Sisterhood of the Traveling Coats or something...</p> <p>Hope you're having fun in Vegas!</p> <p>Thanks also to everyone else for 'getting it' - and not laughing at me for being upset with the ordering situation on Talbot's website. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sad-about-coattalbots-ordering-issues#post-479035 Fri, 02 Dec 2011 02:26:05 +0000 Kari 479035@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yay!!! So glad they found one for you after all.<br /> But if you do need me to help please let me know. FYI I did size up on mine but mainly because it was tight in the bust, and I'm large in that area. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sad-about-coattalbots-ordering-issues#post-478963 Fri, 02 Dec 2011 01:18:29 +0000 Suz 478963@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>YAYAYAYAY!!!

Hooray for YLF Teamwork. </p> <p>Kari, Talbots should pay you commission on that coat sale!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sad-about-coattalbots-ordering-issues#post-478656 Thu, 01 Dec 2011 18:39:41 +0000 Claudia 478656@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So happy to read that you will be able to finally know that you will get this coat.

Much appreciated. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sad-about-coattalbots-ordering-issues#post-478610 Thu, 01 Dec 2011 17:29:19 +0000 Kappy 478610@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Post again which coat, color and size. I'll check if it's available near me. And don't give up, someone may have purchased it, tried it on and will return it too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sad-about-coattalbots-ordering-issues#post-478594 Thu, 01 Dec 2011 17:14:51 +0000 Marie 478594@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm so sorry.

I'm sure you will find your dream coat after all. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sad-about-coattalbots-ordering-issues#post-478530 Thu, 01 Dec 2011 16:40:53 +0000 velvetychocolate 478530@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks everyone I'm all cheered up now, just knowing that the people here "get it". </p> <p>I haven't given up yet - I'm going to call a store in another state and see what they have. Got a very nice message from someone here offering to pick up the coat if her local store has it. I am very touched at the kind offer. Just have to wait for the store to open and see what sizes they have. </p> <p>Based on Claudia's experience, I don't think I'll bother calling the main Talbot's customer service number, as it might turn into a bit of a runaround. I'm liking the idea of calling a store that has a lot more selection and seeing what they can do. </p> <p>I'll post back here if it turns out that the stores themselves can ship stuff, based on phone orders directly to their store. Might be an idea? </p> <p>Now I feel a bit like the person who chased down a houndstooth dress ...was it Vicki? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sad-about-coattalbots-ordering-issues#post-478496 Thu, 01 Dec 2011 16:07:08 +0000 Angie 478496@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This makes me so mad.</p> <p>I want you to have that coat! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sad-about-coattalbots-ordering-issues#post-478445 Thu, 01 Dec 2011 15:26:22 +0000 Claudia 478445@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>No, it's just a circle chase:</p> <p><a href="http://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/am-i-wrong-to-be-angry-with-talbots/page/2" rel="nofollow">http://youlookfab.com/welookfa.....ots/page/2</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sad-about-coattalbots-ordering-issues#post-478437 Thu, 01 Dec 2011 15:23:43 +0000 rae 478437@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fingers crossed! It sounds like the phone call worked wonders for other ladies, so I have hope! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sad-about-coattalbots-ordering-issues#post-478430 Thu, 01 Dec 2011 15:18:21 +0000 velvetychocolate 478430@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well, on the plus side - I could maybe order this pretty red one that dashrashi linked to the other day:</p> <p><a href="http://www1.macys.com/shop/product/ak-anne-klein-coat-cashmere-blend-single-breasted-seamed-walker?ID=574831&#038;CategoryID=269&#038;LinkType=#fn=FABRIC%3DWool%26sp%3D1%26spc%3D115" rel="nofollow">http://www1.macys.com/shop/pro.....6spc%3D115</a></p> <p>That one's not available in any local Macy's stores to try on..which means online/waiting etc. It looks pretty too, and I appreciate dashrashi's tip on the other thread. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sad-about-coattalbots-ordering-issues#post-478425 Thu, 01 Dec 2011 15:13:49 +0000 Mochi 478425@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ugggh. That STINKS, velvety! I'm mad for you. I better check my own order. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sad-about-coattalbots-ordering-issues#post-478422 Thu, 01 Dec 2011 15:11:58 +0000 Kari 478422@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, I am so sorry! I'll keep my fingers crossed that it turns up. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sad-about-coattalbots-ordering-issues#post-478414 Thu, 01 Dec 2011 15:05:22 +0000 Suz 478414@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>SO frustrating!! I am still hoping this will work out for you. That coat would have been a lovely piece. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sad-about-coattalbots-ordering-issues#post-478397 Thu, 01 Dec 2011 14:47:08 +0000 velvetychocolate 478397@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well, it's happened to me. </p> <p>Never did get an e-mail stating that my order for the Blue Mirage tweed coat was shipped, though I ordered Sunday. The coat is still available on their website, but when I log in and check my order, it's showing "no longer available", just as Claudia has experienced. It was showing "in progress", but with no shipping/tracking info. This morning it's "no longer available" (at least not available to me). </p> <p>I will phone them today, and see if there is one somewhere. According to the website's "find in store" feature, the coat I want isn't available at any stores nearby. The size and colour I want are still featured on the website though. </p> <p>I'd fallen in love with this coat - had already tried on the Chateau Plush version in-store, and loved the blue/teal tweed even more. Ah well...seems silly, but I almost feel like a little kid who has had a trip to Disneyland canceled or something. This was something I really liked - which doesn't happen often as I'm still very much a newbie at developing my style and learning how to put things together (read: still tentative, still somewhat bland-ish in my selections). </p> <p>I'm going to start looking around elsewhere, but will still phone Talbot's today to ask if it's true the coat truly isn't available.</p> <p>UPDATE: I called the Bellevue Square store in Washington state - talked to Leslie, and the coat is being sent to me today. In addition, I am getting 40% off as per today's advertised sale on their website (when I ordered the coat, it was only on for 30% off). Furthermore, they are sending me two coats so that I can be sure to get the correct size (I'm in between an 8 and a 10). Leslie assured me that it's no problem to return the one that doesn't fit to a local store within 90 days. </p> <p>I told Leslie that she might be getting a few calls :)</p> <p>Suggestion from Leslie: check to see if Bellevue Square has the item 'in store' via their "find in store" feature (their zip code is 98004), then phone to make sure they really do have it, because sometimes the "system takes a day to update" etc. If the website says the store doesn't have the item though, then that store definitely doesn't have the item. </p> <p>One can always call a store and place an order over the phone. The coats are being shipped today, I'm getting 40% off and not 30% off. </p> <p>Just excellent!</p> <p>It's like reverse of Macy's - I've gotten great service from Macy's website, but I've seen people here disappointed with their in-store service at some locations. So, the service is there at Talbots - just their website is very wonky. </p> <p>Yay! </p>
