Shipping And Bath & Bodyworks

Jordan2 — Fri, 23 Oct 2020 14:37:57 GMT

I always buy the hand soaps from them. They are sale for $3.95 each, I also have a coupon I was sent for 20% off. I thought they offered free shipping on orders over $50 all the time. It seems that's not the case, shipping is $5.99 ( ordering of course online). I will try to go to the mall tomorrow because I'm not paying $5.99 to have them ship to me.

I hate to pay for shipping too but then I remind myself that someone is picking all my items for me, packing them, and delivering to my doorstep. I realize that is worth the shipping charge. I didn't have to go out, pay for gas, take whatever chances I might want to avoid, etc. Of course if I can shop myself I enjoy it plus I get to see, feel, and smell things for myself. And I get them immediately! Also, good or bad, I usually purchase even more items!

Just my thought process. BTW, my friend got me a zippered pouch to carry small items. It is printed with, "Wait. Let me overthink this!" LOL 😆

I just brought 8 candles, at their buy one get one free, and six hand foaming liquid soaps. Paid the shipping, because of covid, didn,t want to be at mall. Shipped in 4 days to my home. Everyone while faster than QVC,, even HSN. QVC slowest shipping I have ever encountered.

Paying an extra $5.99 for the box to be delivered to my front door is a win-win for me. The mall is not a place I ever want to go, period.

I don't remember free shipping on $50 but that's probably because I don't spend $50 at a time. I don't mind spending $5.99 shipping money since my items are coming directly to my door and I am only buying what I want. Prior to Covid 19, I loved browsing around that store. I would tell me myself that I was just going in for one or two things and I always left with a lot more. I save money by shopping with them online.

Since Covid they do not offer new coupons. I used to love 20% off and used those frequently. From time to time free ship but again this has no longer offered. I keep writing that on the evaluations that I miss those discounts. They will honor remaining coupons.

The closest store is 75 miles away so I order on line. We had one closer but the Mall closed. There are deals with multiples quite often. I spend over a hundred on candles when on sale as burn them Fall through Spring and $5.99 is cheap for a heavy box. If they are broken and that happens, they happily replace. CS has been very good.

When I had an order delivered I received a 20% off coupon for my next order. They used to have more coupons and free shipping offers.

I wondered why I haven’t gotten coupons from them for so long. It’s ok, it’s making me use the dozen or so from my stash. With Covid, using much less make up, but more soap and sanitizer. I will say their shipping, it comes packaged very well, and I have never received a broken or leaking product.

I even skipped their semi annual sale twice now! Now that is amazing. Haha. Trying to keep the beauty stash from growing. Finally making a dent in it.

If they're on sale AND I have a 20% off coupon on top of that and the shipping is only $5.95, I think that's a great deal.

My time and gas spent going to the mall is well worth the $5.95 shipping fee to me.

I order quite a bit, mostly hand soaps. So I was glad to see this sale. We have one of the flagship stores in the mall nearest us, but I'm not going there! There is a smaller store about an hour away in an outdoor shopping area. I like going there more anyway. I could park in front and wait until there weren't many people inside , and I would be able to check out the scents in person. So I briefly thought about saving the shipping cost. By the time I went up and home again I would have spent more than $5.99 in gas. So I justified the shipping charge and ordered online!

Thanks for the info on the soap sale.

I just placed a substantial order, several soaps and a few shower gels, on my iPad, from the comfort of my bed while watching tv. Happy to pay the $5.99 shipping for someone else to be responsible for getting it all here.

If anyone is looking for a new soap fragrance, about a month ago my sister gave me a bottle of Black Cherry Merlot, in the gel soap. To be honest, when she gave it to me it didn't sound appealing at all, but I just started using it a few days ago and I love it.

I ordered more of it last night, this time the foaming soap.

Ladies, I've gotten BBW coupons in the mail 2X since this virus thing started. Just got one last week for some free stuff and 20% off.

At the very beginning of the virus lockdown, I had coupons and the website was having a Buy 3/Get 3 Free sale. I kind of went nuts and ordered enough shower gels and lotions to get me thru several months. In fact, I'll finish my last shower gel next week. Eek! I'd better order more!

We no longer have any of their stores in malls because almost all of the malls are gone. There is a BBW store a couple of miles from me that is freestanding. I don’t ever pay for their shipping. I do buy online when they do free shipping, which doesn't seem to happen very often anymore. You pay everything you save on the sales when they charge for shipping. I like their handsoaps, but have been refilling them when empty with some great creamy Soft Soap with aloe I found at WM a couple of months ago. It is a 50 oz bottle for $3.78. Do the math. I finally went into the BBW store a couple of days ago and bought 6 new ones so we can use them up and have the bottles to refill. Their pumps are the best and don’t break like drugstore brands. The first BBW soap I have had in over six months. I have seen refill sizes of some liquid soaps at WM but still no small sizes to use by the sink anywhere like the grocery store or drugstore. I had a stash of liquid soap before March so we have been living large!

I went to the mall today, I haven't been since before the pandemic. They use to have the mall entrances unlocked for mall walkers, now they don't open it until 10:00. The mall was a ghost town. I was able to buy what I wanted, the store was empty.

I went to Bath & Body works yesterday with my coupons I got in the mail, they expire either November 3 or 7. I told my sister about the sale, I asked if she had coupons she said yes. Anyway when she went to pay she discovered they were older coupons that had expired, she didn't get the ones I had. She was told by the cashier coupons are sent out but often are kept by those that work in the post office! She was told to call headquarters to complain.

@gidgetgh I love their Black Cherry Merlot soap. I really enjoy the fall and winter scents more. I prefer the nourishing soaps and they have a limited amount of scents in those soaps. I live about 5 minutes from a Bath and Bodyworks. I usually go into the store but have been ordering a few things online since pandemic. They recently had body lotions for $4.95 and I discovered my email late one night. Ordered 5 scents online and paid shipping. Forever Red was included in the sale and it's my favorite. I rarely drive at night due to lousy night vision.

Count me as another who gladly pays the shipping fee for their hand soaps.

I don't buy the Bath and Bodyworks 3 wick candles online anymore. When I went on a splurge during an online sale a year ago or so, 2 of my candles arrived with broken glass holders even though they seemed to be well packed.

Love the foaming hand soaps and never had a problem with their shipping, though I've usually bought them in the store. They're great for a little aromatherapy pickmeup. Putting out their Christmas hand soaps was a mini tradition around here. Not sure if I will this year, don't really care to go into their store. Maybe I'll go online and get some tried and true ones I've already used. Just for my own holiday morale.
