This is just out of curiosity, nothing more.

Many places have a notification for shoppers if they are out of something they will send you an "in stock" alert if you leave your email.  

I'm thinking it's mostly a waste of time.

The ONLY place that has ever sent me a notice is Zulily.  

I was shopping online at Walmart and several things I wanted were out, so, I filled in the instock alert.

Then, I laughed to myself realizing I had been doing this for a few years and NEVER, EVER have I gotten a notice something was back in stock.

Like I said, I'm just curious.

Yes.I get them from Zappos & Shoes.Com all the time.

[deeva]

Yes, I've gotten them.

[Bri369]

I get them from time to time too.

I like that feature a lot.

Never got that notice. New one on me.

I get them from Zulily and another retailer but by the time you sign-in the item is already sold out again...I was so tired of being played that I just delete the emails now

Lord & Taylor, Bloomingdales, Neiman Marcus, HSN, and Zulily do.  I believe QVC sent me one or two in the past that had been on my wishlist.

For the first three, I think it depends on returns, not reorders.  NM occasionally reorders something if it sold out quickly, but often doesn't show up until the next season.   

True about Walmart, but what I put on alert didn't come back in stock after 8 months.  Still watching.

Ive gotten notices from Evine.  I don't think QVC's antiquated computer is sophisticated enough to be able to tell us when something is back in stock.

I find In stock alerts helpful

I'm happy to see other stores fulfill that request.  Apparantly, it is a failing of Walmart.

@Foxxee 

I agree with you that many times, stuff just never comes back.  They order/sell one round of something and that's it.  

Thanks for sharing!
