I was thinking about ordering some shirts from Brooks Brothers too, but seeing your experience I think I should wait until December when I actually go to USA and purchase from there. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-perils-of-crossborder-ordering#post-719877 Thu, 13 Sep 2012 07:40:17 +0000 Mander 719877@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>How odd that a company with an international reputation as a luxury goods maker -- hence likely to appeal to an international customer base -- would have such trouble with a cross border purchase. And especially to Canada! It's not like they are sending it to a remote village in the jungles of Belize or something. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-perils-of-crossborder-ordering#post-718790 Wed, 12 Sep 2012 03:06:34 +0000 Anonymous 718790@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>How disappointing about the Brooks Brothers shirts. I hope your DH will be able to pick some up. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-perils-of-crossborder-ordering#post-718682 Wed, 12 Sep 2012 00:21:44 +0000 JR 718682@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Taking notes. I think I'll stick to this side of the border.</p> <p>Although why Blondo's - a great Quebec company - had to design a fantastic pair of boots as a Nordstrom's exclusive is beyond me. It seems so unfair to have a boot designed by a Canadian company out of reach. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-perils-of-crossborder-ordering#post-718638 Tue, 11 Sep 2012 23:52:49 +0000 Carole 718638@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Pheew, At least Nordies is coming through! Suz, you and your husband are such troopers. What a sweetie to do all this leg work for you. I hope to see all your new purchases soon, the anticipation is killing me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-perils-of-crossborder-ordering#post-718630 Tue, 11 Sep 2012 23:49:34 +0000 Suz 718630@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Update...hubs is going to go out of his way to get them for me in-store...we are having them sent to the store. It may not work out anyway, but it is sweet of him to try. </p> <p>Jem, yes - I could try to get them in Toronto but the prices are a lot higher. And since I order petites it would often be a question of ordering in there as well. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-perils-of-crossborder-ordering#post-718461 Tue, 11 Sep 2012 20:03:14 +0000 CocoLion 718461@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So sad to hear about Brooks Brothers. That's disappointing that they took so long to respond.</p> <p>I had huge problems ordering from Barney's. So they are off my list now. They seemed to think I lived in Ghana. I finally had all of my items shipped to my local post office street address which they recognized. Didn't recognize my home, my business, my PO box (at said post office) or my boyfriend's address! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-perils-of-crossborder-ordering#post-718450 Tue, 11 Sep 2012 19:51:31 +0000 Jem 718450@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh no! I'm glad you are getting your Nordstrom's order, but am sorry about your Brooks Brother's order. Do they carry the shirts you want in Canada? There is a store in town here, maybe you could call them to see? Also, do you live close enough to the border that you can arrange shipment there? (sorry I don't know if you are too far for that) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-perils-of-crossborder-ordering#post-718405 Tue, 11 Sep 2012 18:50:32 +0000 lyn* 718405@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Poor Suz! I have had so many troubles ordering across the border too; I just stick to my few main shops and that's it - sometimes it's easier to order from the UK! But then they just ding you with like $45 import fees. &gt;__&lt; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-perils-of-crossborder-ordering#post-718403 Tue, 11 Sep 2012 18:49:03 +0000 jayne 718403@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>so sad to hear....but i am taking notes for my visit at Xmas...I assume it will be all sold out by then! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-perils-of-crossborder-ordering#post-718376 Tue, 11 Sep 2012 18:10:59 +0000 Suz 718376@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The good news: if all goes well, it seems I WILL get my Nordstrom's order. </p> <p>The bad news: I just got a call from Brooks Brothers who have not yet shipped an order placed last week. The items are no longer available and they seem to think my credit card was issued in Ghana. ??? This is quite disturbing. Even more disturbing is the fact that I will not get my shirts; even if they had them in stock, it's too late. </p> <p>SO disappointed. I didn't just want - I NEEDED those shirts. Sigh. </p>
