Right, far less prestigious retailers do a far better job of properly maintaining inventory. Interestingly enough I was told when I placed my order that several items were only available in qty of say 19 instead of 30, but then after placing my order 12 of them were canceled for being OOS! What gives!?
Does not speak volume about their availability levels, which is strange....

I suspected this at first, but there's no rhyme or reason to it. For example I ordered something like 10 of each item in each color offered. Several of them have shipped in part, the rest are back ordered, then others just have 5 canceled, 1 shipped and 4 back ordered. It's odd. Either way I'll have enough miles to take the kids to Hong Kong for the weekend or something so it's all good!

I believe that especially for higher priced items (which were probably being purchased), Nordstrom does some of the fulfillment from the physical stores, which could account for the spotty inventory issues. I'm surprised as they typically have a pretty good system.

I placed one order for 11 items totaling approx. $5.500-.
Consequently received the follow-up call, inquiring and verifying if indeed the order was legit and placed from Cape Town, South Africa
All items were received within days ^

Wow, you received your orders within days to Cape Town? That is impressive, what service did they use for shipping?

So now that the promo's dead, what did folks order for reselling? I couldn't get the Beats to work for me, I was just too afraid of getting burned on resell given that Monster and Beats have ended their relationship. I ended up buying a bunch of stuff, but for keeping and surprising my lovely wife. Ordinarily I wouldn't shop at Nordstrom, but Cole Haan, Clinique, Jo Malone, Kate Spade, this stuff rarely goes on sale so we stocked up.
Most of what I bought was the Tumi luggage.

I placed my order on 2/5, and got the 36x points, but it still shows as "pending" in payment status, and has not posted into my BA account.

Didn't know they shipped overseas...just curious, how much did they charge for shipping?
