I am not a cardholder, but my plebian self has shopped the sale successfully despite that in years past. This year, there wasn't a whole lot I was crazy about trying, but I built up a wishlist of about a dozen items I wanted to try. There were only 2 items that I really, really wanted - layering tees in unusual colors.

70% of my wishlist sold out in the first 2-3 days of the sale and never came back even once. All sizes sold out, the colors were not shown on the product page. I finally ended up order only 2 items total, and I won't be heartbroken if neither works.

I woke up this morning to notifications that 4 of my "sold out" wishlist items had been restocked the instant that the sale ended. Including the 2 t-shirts I really wanted to try. Fully restocked, all sizes, all colors. I was philosophical about it when I thought that they honestly didn't have stock. That was obviously not the case. I'm pretty irked and disappointed in this. It's not about the t-shirts, which weren't even highly rated or pricey. I'm just so disappointed that Nordstrom saw fit to hold back stock from the sale.
