I got home from a trip to Detroit (including a job interview.. cross your fingers, guys!), to find a FedEx OVERNIGHT box inside my porch. They sent me a $250 gift card to Nieman Marcus - valid online or in-store. Very cool!

CG,
Can you please check and tell us what is the reference number, and the ZIP code this has been sent from? There might be a way to find it out from FedEx's website, and it will be good for the rest of the .. well suckers, who are still either shipped, and haven't received ANYTHING even when they're shipped for OVER A MONTH damn it)

Congrats, at least they aren't ignoring everyone on their site. Just a select few. This site is the worst site ever. It's almost going on 2 months since I went shipped, and it's been over 2 months since I even joined this site. Seriously, I'm beyond words for Gratis.

The reference number was nothing special -- it was something generated on Nieman Marcus's end. As far as the zip code, I believe it was 75093. I was gone for a while, so I had a bunch of junk mail built up... my cardboard recycling bin was filled right up and taken out, so unfortunately I can't go find out what the zip and reference number were.

I know it sucks, but Gratis is trying to do everything they can on their end. They've shown with their other sites that when there's supply to be had, things ship out. Unfortunately, there probably just isn't a place where they can get a big quantity of designer purses. I'd imagine you guys aren't too far behind with getting your purses or gift cards either.

What did you order CG?)

I ordered the Fendi bag. It worked out for the best, actually. My wife wasn't crazy about any of the bags, but she found some nice stuff on NiemanMarcus.com that she really wants.

Well, I guess all the February (and earlier) batches are screwed up. I don't want to put another customer service inquiry, and I'll TRY and wait patiently, but still the problems they have with freehandbags.com are huge. Shipped to received in 2 days... while others are shipped and NOT received for 1+ months) Anyway, at least the Shuffle is coming today, and it will be some kind of relief, but still, my birthday is coming, and it is clear that my sister is not getting a bag, at least I WANT something for me!) Patience.....

Ponders why they just can't send out $250 VISA gift cards, and say sorry for the delay, use this money to buy the bag you want...

it makes me mad that he went shipped after ALL of us and got his gift the quickest...

Josh, I am not mad that he got his gift fast...be happy for him....Gratis is messing up.....I think the problem is with the fendi bags because it seems that everyone else is getting their bags or GC's

I'm happy for him, he doesn't have to deal with them anymore!

Now, he did order a Fendi too JerseyEd25, so I don't see why other Fendi orders are having problems? That just seems odd.

And another thing, [ba2683aa754]the only place to buy authentic Louis Vuitton online is eLuxury.com[/ba2683aa754], it says so on louisvuitton's official site. So in saying that, I don't see [ia2683aa754]why[/ia2683aa754] they are looking for another vendor.

In the brag bag forum, somone posted the LV bag they got. Why has it changed all of a sudden with certain groups of shipped orders that it is harder to get?

And lastly, there should be absolutely [ba2683aa754]no[/ba2683aa754] problem for them to get gift cards - end of story.

Who ever said they had a problem getting them? ?

idea idea Maybe they just aren't in a rush to actually spend $250 per person. idea idea


My guess is they are holding out to see if they can find a cheaper solution (ie - bulk order of bags).

Until they find one, or give up and buy us all GC's, we are forced to wait in limbo.

[quotedcd55ac489="wood"]Who ever said they had a problem getting them? ? [/quotedcd55ac489]

Product Manager said they were having troubles in an email to me. He said eLuxury.com cancelled 20 or so gift card orders. I can take screenshots of my freehandbags.com customer service inquiry response. However, I think they should have that resolved by now.

[quotedcd55ac489="wood"]idea idea Maybe they just aren't in a rush to actually spend $250 per person. idea idea [/quotedcd55ac489]

Maybe, maybe not. But other people [idcd55ac489]are[/idcd55ac489] receiving items from them recently. So there's a select group they aren't willing to spend $250 per person on.

[quotedcd55ac489="wood"]My guess is they are holding out to see if they can find a cheaper solution (ie - bulk order of bags).[/quotedcd55ac489]

Well, I don't know where they'll find LV bags online cheaper, since eLuxury.com is the only place that sells authentic LV bags online. They are $250. Unless if they get us fakes, they won't get much cheaper.

[quotedcd55ac489="wood"]Until they find one, or give up and buy us all GC's, we are forced to wait in limbo.[/quotedcd55ac489]

True, unfortunately. But like I said we are only waiting till they give up, since they won't find anything cheaper realistically.

[quotedcd55ac489="wood"]Like Tony Soprano once said "I'm not trying to win a fucking popularity contest, I'm trying to run a business."[/quotedcd55ac489]

Haha, exactly!
