Still waiting for part of my order…..

Is anyone else still waiting for the items they ordered? It’s odd how some items not only arrived immediately, they were also delivered to me on a Sunday! I’m worried about one dress (The Nordstrom brand cashmere) that I re-ordered a size smaller because it hasn’t shipped which in my experience may mean it will be canceled. (I really like the dress, it’s nice even though it didn’t make it on Angie’s best picks list).

Here’s what I’m waiting for:

I’m still awaiting the belts I ordered for DH in the wee hours of the 7th, technically the 6th in the West Coast. Still says Preparing to Ship. I reordered them yesterday. First order was on a Double Points Day, however.

The Nordstrom's cashmere dress is stunning. I've received the very small order I placed on July 9, and the items I ordered on July 13 are still in various phases of shipping or preparing to ship, but I expect to wait a bit for those since the sale was in full swing by then. It's always fascinating to me to see where all my items originate. I do hope the rest of your order arrives!

I find some items come quickly, some show pending shipment for a long time. I just had an item cancel that shows it's still in stock. So it let me reorder, but who knows. I think you still have a good chance it will ship, so I hope you get it.

I ordered about ten minutes after I could. I’m in Pacific time, so it was just after 9 o’clock, whatever day that was. The shirt I ordered hasn’t shipped, but it’s preparing to ship! I see that it’s sold out now in my size, so there’s nothing I can do.

Staysfit - This year is definitely different shipping wise. The RW booties shipped in 12 hr, the halogen trench in less than a day and took only 1 day to arrive. The aquatalia boots, ordered just shipped last night but are slated to arrive today. And reorder xs trench and pikolinos booties just shipped. In previous years I’ve waited forever. The Paul green Bobbi boots took weeks and kept popping back up but mine never shipped. I called CS who said she felt they would be canceled. So I stalked another pr, then tried to cancel the first pr and they were about to ship. I made a senior manager very uncomfortable when he refused to cancel and order that had not shipped (the just stand it back but hey we are charging your card). Well after a terse discussion miraculously he did cancel first order, second arrive and I absolutely love them. But it’s crazy. I’ve had a ton of orders canceled in the past and spent too much time on restalk. This is the first year everything shipped. I do get the feeling nordies is more on their game but it seems like some items are more difficult than others. The smaller trench and booties are enroute from WA. The original shipped from NJ which is where I live. I’m the past things came from all over. So I’m thinking it might just be that one item but I would not fault you for a stalk reorder send back mentality.

I am still waiting for three sale items, ordered shortly after the sale opened on 7/9. One I already know is going back — I tried the Rails plaid shirt when I saw it in store, and the chest gapes in the M. I’m curious about the ATM green tee and the Frame boots but not super anxious about the delay. I was more worried about the Z&V blouse but that was shipped directly from Z&V and already arrived.

I also ordered some non-sale items to try at the same time: the Karen Kane dress (colors may not be right but the cut might work), the light blue Rails shirt (probably too small in the chest so unlikely to work), and the Vagabond boots, which already arrived and I love, but they’re too short so I am returning and trying the next size up. I like the higher shaft on these, compared to the Frame boots, but we’ll see if the size works. They are only available in full sizes, so going up from an 8 to a 9 might make them too big. We shall see!

I'm seeing things just sitting in 'getting ready to be shipped' for a few days at which point I have to be a bit sanguine about whether they might be cancelled. So far I've had 2 things canceled, but was able to repurchase one of them a day or two later. I expect there will be a lot of inventory starting to show up next week as returns from the first week start to come in.

An order I placed on 7/7 for a Theory sweater and a Vince pair of pants were both drop shipped from the manufacturer and arrived on 7/15. For me, drop shipments seem to be slower to ship/arrive.

I had two pairs of running shoes waiting for shipping since early NAS. I followed the links and they were sold out so I decided to order a different model that was actually better priced. Now I have the new order ready for pick-up and the original order just shipped :(. Same happened with some sold out Nordstrom back tab socks that were sold out. This has not been my usual experience as most of the time they got cancelled when they sat for too long before shipping.
If you don’t mind risking an extra return, it may be worth checking availability of your dress and re-ordering if it is available.

Sale started later here (just this week) and I ordered on Wednesday and Thursday, so of course I am waiting. A few items I ordered -- a couple of pairs of undies -- were cancelled before going out. Others are showing as shipped. Some are saying they will arrive by the 22nd and some by the 18th/19th. And one box has only had the label created. That is all relatively fast considering I live on an island and everything takes longer.

I like the look of that dress. It was not available up here or I might have tried it, although cashmere would be silly in my climate, really.

I just got a notice that my plaid shirt has shipped.

All but one item from my original order on 7/09 came quickly. Still haven't seen the Bernardo blue puffer. My two wildcards, the Bernardo houndstooth coat and the toffee Venata Linea Paolo boots that I ordered a couple of days later, have not shipped yet, nor have the reorders for larger sizes in the Z&V blouse and a short sleeved sweater (that didn't make Angie's list).

My remaining items are due to be here Monday.

Just FYI, the Z&V shirt showed as "preparing" right up until the day it showed up at my door! So don't assume that "preparing" means it has not actually shipped.

Two parts of my order have shipped. Three more items have not. The Open Edit pants were canceled. An item I wanted came into stock today and shipped. It’s hard to know what will happen. I am much happier with NAS this year over all.

Janet is right. My blue Bernardo puffer arrived this afternoon, but it was still showing as preparing to ship.

Yes! I got some NAS items a day later! But I am STILL waiting for this dress.....

It depends on whether the item is shipped straight from the manufacturer, or Nordies. The former takes much longer in my experience. Nordies is faster to ship from their warehouse or store, usually.
