Handbags

@hicindy2. Well I took advantage of this sale and bought 6 items, three of them smaller accessories that I will give for holiday gifts (leopard foldaway totes). I had even more items in my cart but some sold out as I was thinking about them.

Although I don't need a new wallet, I couldn't resist the Little Venice wallet to match my purse, since that is my favorite applique scene ever and I thought I'd later regret passing it up at half off. My other big purchase was the Hilly tote (as opposed to the Hilly multiway bag) which I think I'll really like (it got great reviews). Also for me is a leopard print oilskin tech pouch.

Have you perused the sale items? There is a new Ascot line of items that have horses!

@Pearlee  That wallet is adorable:  thinking about that one too. That's as close to a vacation away as I am going to get

It is a very cheerful scene, sure to bring a smile every time you use it. And it's a bit of springtime all year long.

@hicindy2. Ugh! My orders from Radley usually
Ship and arrive lightening fast, but this order is still in Paypal Pending stage. Ugh!

@Pearlee  Well, maybe they are having issues too.  We sure are...

@hicindy2  Or maybe the issues ensue, or at the very least are compounded, once the merch hits our shores... Actually, I can tell you that the only Radley bag I ordered from the UK took a rather circuitous route throughout England, Germany and New York to my house, courtesy of DHL... Still, I got it in under a week but sadly ended up wishing I'd left that one in the UK...

@stevieb well that clearly isn't the case with my order. As I posted PayPal hasn't paid Radley yet so Radley certainly hasn't shipped it.

@Pearlee Nope, not in your case. I was simply recounting my lone experience ordering from Radley in the UK, where my bag saw several different airports in England, then it was off to Germany, from there to JFK, finally to DCA and land transporation to my door... It's better traveled than I've been lately...

I just called CS in the USA. Got a voice recording about COVID and how because of fewer staff orders are taking longer than usual to "dispatch". I could press 1 to place an order by phone but "all other options by phone are closed." I could send an email but they are taking longer to answer those too (per the recording).

Gosh they have always shipped so fast. And their up to 70% off sale is going on so they must be swamped. I don't care when I get my order -- I just don't want any of it to be sold out by the time they "dispatch" it. There were things in my cart I was thinking about that sold out before I placed my order.

@stevieb I had read your post about your Radley experience before here on another thread. I guess you'll be bringing up that bad experience about Radley again. My experiences til now have been excellent, amazingly fast service actually. That's what made me really wonder about the delay this time.

@Pearlee I think I mentioned it when it first happened and yes, I chose to mention it again here because it seemed relevant... No idea if I'll choose to bring it up again, but tell you what, if I do, you can choose to feel free to skip right over it...  Hoping your bag arrives soon, feel sure it will... Purely as an FYI, their email responses have always tended to be a bit on the slow side in my experience... Purely as a curiosity, but if, as you say, the issue is with Paypal, not sure what Radley's CS can do about it...
