Mine still does even tho he's come with me to return stuff before! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-buy-in-bulk-with-plans-to-return-most-items#post-285487 Fri, 07 Sep 2012 00:44:06 +0000 BoogieBea 285487@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've done it with zappos but no more than a couple pairs at a time though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-buy-in-bulk-with-plans-to-return-most-items#post-285481 Fri, 07 Sep 2012 00:41:14 +0000 Boogs 285481@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Always, especially if it gets me free shipping and I know retuning will be easy. It's so much easier to shop and try things on in the comfort of my home and it beats hunting for sizes. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-buy-in-bulk-with-plans-to-return-most-items#post-285479 Fri, 07 Sep 2012 00:37:00 +0000 mamabird 285479@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I always try things on in the store and ask myself if I absolutely love the item. If I do I buy it :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-buy-in-bulk-with-plans-to-return-most-items#post-285417 Thu, 06 Sep 2012 23:30:45 +0000 BSB 285417@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Never thought about doing this. I might consider doing this later, if I can go return it at a store or something. </p> <p>Ummm, so am I the only one who read this title of thread and thought someone was going to Costco and buying a 24 pack of paper towels and then returning 22 rolls. LOL! I'm silly! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-buy-in-bulk-with-plans-to-return-most-items#post-285395 Thu, 06 Sep 2012 22:54:20 +0000 plantains 285395@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@PurplePumps: ooh, great tip. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-buy-in-bulk-with-plans-to-return-most-items#post-285392 Thu, 06 Sep 2012 22:49:12 +0000 pinkcupcake 285392@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@PurplePumps: Good to know! Thanks! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-buy-in-bulk-with-plans-to-return-most-items#post-285390 Thu, 06 Sep 2012 22:47:53 +0000 PurplePumps 285390@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MungBean: Nope. They don't go back and charge shipping if you return part of the order... or even all of it. And at places like Victoria secret, where they have free panty codes all the time, I've actually legitimately had to return everything cause nothing fit, and just kept the free panty no problem. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-buy-in-bulk-with-plans-to-return-most-items#post-285387 Thu, 06 Sep 2012 22:38:33 +0000 CupQuakeWalk 285387@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>ONLY if there is free in-store returning allowed. I am way to lazy to reship the stuff back :/ </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-buy-in-bulk-with-plans-to-return-most-items#post-285347 Thu, 06 Sep 2012 21:56:51 +0000 sunny 285347@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes I do this all the time to make sure that I get the right size! Manufacturers are so inconsistent that I never know what size I should be ordering. I love that Nordstrom never gives me trouble when I'm returning the items that don't fit. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-buy-in-bulk-with-plans-to-return-most-items#post-285320 Thu, 06 Sep 2012 21:41:26 +0000 pinkcupcake 285320@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@purplepumps - I thought about doing that to qualify for free shipping. Do they ever go back and charge you the shipping costs if the amount you returned drops your total below the free shipping minimum? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-buy-in-bulk-with-plans-to-return-most-items#post-285110 Thu, 06 Sep 2012 20:16:13 +0000 PurplePumps 285110@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes. All the time... sometimes I "buffer" my order up to get the free shipping minimum with no intention of keeping the items. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-buy-in-bulk-with-plans-to-return-most-items#post-285062 Thu, 06 Sep 2012 20:02:59 +0000 cheert16 285062@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I totally do! Free shipping rocks! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-buy-in-bulk-with-plans-to-return-most-items#post-284938 Thu, 06 Sep 2012 19:36:06 +0000 LazyLightning 284938@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I do it all the time if there's free shipping. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-buy-in-bulk-with-plans-to-return-most-items#post-284890 Thu, 06 Sep 2012 19:25:23 +0000 birdofafeather 284890@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i do that with zappos and i did it with asos. free shipping each way! and i usually keep more than i would if i had to pay for shipping. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-buy-in-bulk-with-plans-to-return-most-items#post-284882 Thu, 06 Sep 2012 19:24:11 +0000 Foodnerd81 284882@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yup-- definitely with Zappos, and if places have free shipping over a certain amount and accept returns in store, I will too (like I bought 6 or 7 variations of bathing suits at the Gap and returned all but one). J Crew was offering free shipping on swimwear this summer and didn't have swimsuits in store, so same deal. I just have to be careful to return in time! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-buy-in-bulk-with-plans-to-return-most-items#post-284866 Thu, 06 Sep 2012 19:21:25 +0000 BananaPancakes 284866@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I do it all the time. I hate shopping in store so I buy most everything online. I just bought 6 dresses from Zappos last week and returned 5 today. Free shipping both ways is my friend. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-buy-in-bulk-with-plans-to-return-most-items#post-284798 Thu, 06 Sep 2012 19:06:07 +0000 mrbee 284798@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've heard about people doing that with Zappos shoes!</p> <p>I am way too lazy to actually return something, so I would never do that or I would own like 6 pairs of sneakers in the wrong size. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-buy-in-bulk-with-plans-to-return-most-items#post-284783 Thu, 06 Sep 2012 19:03:28 +0000 chopsuey 284783@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Dang. What a great idea. I've never done that! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-buy-in-bulk-with-plans-to-return-most-items#post-284781 Thu, 06 Sep 2012 19:02:55 +0000 mediagirl 284781@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Before our trip, I bought 14 different bathing suit pieces from Lands End online. They shipped to me free and I took 12 pieces back to the store in our Sears after I tried everything on!</p> <p>Do you buy in bulk to make sure you get items in your size with out having to try on in store? </p>
