Longchamp and Bloomingdales friends and family

gmomj · ‎05-01-2010

Bloomingdales friends and family 20% off sale is currently happening. I have purchased 4 Longchamps LePilage tote at prior freinds and family sales at Bloomies but to my dismay I traveled there today to purchase a Slate LePlige and to my dismay, really anger, they tell me Longchamp is not included in the friends and family sale. How rude!! At least 3-4 times prior, I have always been able to purchase the Longchamps at the friend and family discount. I could not believe it was excluded from the sale. Anyone have any suggestions on how to purchase Longchamp on sale??

No idea, other than to keep an eye out for sales that don't include exclusions...

Gosh I hate that though, you wait for a sale and then they exclude what you were hoping to purchase... Hey, at least you were lucky the last three times!

It seems to me that more and more stores are starting to do this...limit the items to which the discount will apply. It is so aggravating. I tried to use a discount code at an online shoe store but everything I wanted wasn't included in the sale. I emailed them and asked them why they didn't at least have a list of excluded brands available and they just basically ignored me. At least some other retailers will make that list available.

It's a complete waste of time to go through the effort of finding things you want, putting them in your cart (and I always go through Mr. Rebates) just to finally discover that nothing is included in their sale! So, I just didn't place an order with them.

And this whole ignoring customers thing is becoming the norm too... They all like to pay lip service to 'great customer service' but most of them wouldn't recognize it if it reached up and bit them. They'll send out a survey about your 'experience' and then promptly ignore you and your comments... Go figure!

did you read the back of the flyer to see which brands were excluded,

more and more brands are being excluded from these F&F sales now, I think the companies are catching on. F&F sales are not as special or exciting as they used to be.
