Banana Republic Order

"ahmward" <nospam.ahmw...@yahoo.com>
I am so frustrated. On December 2nd I ordered five items, all full
price. I received my package yesterday. The invoice states the five
were included in the box, but the dress isn't there. I called CS and
was told it would be sent to "research" because of the cost of the item,
$158, and that I would hear back via e mail within 32 hours. Will it be
here for New Year's? I am so mad, I will probably eat my way out of the
dress size.

ACKKK! Email? Thirty–two hours? They should send the dress by the fastest
method possible. (Can you go to the site to see if it's even still in
stock?)
Feeling your anxiety––but don't let the bastids force you to eat! (I used
to remind myself not to let "them" make me smoke.)

My feeling is they think I'm trying to pull a fast one on them and that
I actually got it. I just had no fat hot chocolate so I am fine.

If they try to do that, I would challenege it through the credit card
company. Then probably never order from them again.

I'd also let them know you're filing a report with the Better Business
Bureau and any other place you can register a complaint.

Don't forget they should be able to figure out how much weight was in
the box –– I would hope that four items would weigh a bit less than
five. Let's hope they have records that detailed. You would want a
weight record down to an ounce (not 4 lbs vs 5 lbs).

that stinks. I would tell them that I was doing both.. that's horrible CS
and I would contact the Admin. Asst for the CEO of BR and tell them too

Audrey, Want me to find you the dress at my BR store(s) so you at least
have it for the holidays? I'd be happy to shop for ya! Then when they
find yours, you can tell them where to put it :–)
I seriously have the time & energy to do this for you!

You are a sweetheart but I don't even know if it will fit. That's the
irony of the whole thing. I have looked at dresses for ages but always
buy separates because I am slightly short waisted and dresses never fit
properly. All these posts about the LBD, the article in In Style and my
weight loss made me rethink black dress. This one had an obi covering
at the waistline that I figured would hide the waistline problem. Last
Saturday it would have been perfect at the dinner/dance. It would have
worked well Sunday at the Andrea Bocelli concert. I could have worn it
tonight at a reception at the art center for the executive staff and
board members where DH works.
I will have this resolved by Friday. My credit card company will take
care of it swiftly. On the weekend we'll be in San Francisco and there
is a BR flagship store there so if the dress is there in my size I'll
try it on.
Thanks everyone for all of your suggestions.
Audrey
