Bath & Body Works | New Markdowns, Price Increases, and Return Policy Changes

I've seen some interesting info and I stopped what I was doing on this quiet Sunday to make a posting so I don't forget it all...and to let you know what MAY be coming soon.

 


 

I use the words MAY and POSSIBLE when I post because there will always be those who look for any reason to doubt what I share...regardless of the paper work receipts I have in front of me.

Granted, things change every moment at times...be it because into was shared and the response was unfavorable??? ...( part of me wonders is it shared, to be shared, to judge the waters) Or it could change because it was merely an idea and paperwork and signage was altered and they chose not to do it.

At any rate, please note I am not here making things up to stir y'all up...I share to help us all get the most for our dollars...and because I don't like huge surprises when it comes to spending.


Okay...some things will happen tomorrow.  Some may happen in the future...Some WILL happen soon.  And please do me a favor.  If you plan to screen shot my information, share the link to it...so others can read it to understand it.  Screen shots are great but they aren't the entire story and people get confused as to what is happening...and then they get mad at me.

Paperwork showed: Sale Pricing

  • All Room Sprays 3 for $20

  • Some Wallflowers are moving to 75% off (again SAS WF, nothing newly released)

I think Monday, The Price Increase we will see is the soaps....  The other increases could come soon and may be in stores then, or at a later date. 


ONLINE RETURN PROCESS UPDATES:

On MONDAY, July 26th, a NEW! ONLINE Return Process will begin, making it easier for stores to process returns from online sales.

  • ORIGINAL RECEIPT RETURN UPDATE: 90 days or less from the original purchase date - cash, credit card, debit card, and PAYPAL purchase refunds will be issued based on the ORIGINAL tender.  Thereafter, merchandise credit will be issued.
  • Refunds are based on the purchase price shown on the ORIGINAL RECEIPT, (excluding shipping and handling charges)
  • ALL ADDITIONAL return/exchange pricing adjustment policies WILL REMAIN THE SAME.
  • With this update there is NO CHANGE in the 100% SATISFACTION GUARANTEE.  If at any time a customer is NOT completely satisfied with the QUALITY of their products, they may return them to ANY Bath and Body Works Stores for a FULL REFUND, subject to our return policy.

What else is New?

  • Customers can now receive a refund to the original form of payment for ONLINE returns made in stores.
  • Every online return is its own transaction and cannot be combined with multiple returns ( in stores or online).
  • ​Customers can now return Buy Online Pay In Store (BOPIS) purchases in NON-BOPIS stores.

 


Other things to Note:

  • You may be surprised to know that Halloween doesn't OFFICIALLY come out until Fall 1, but things will vary depending on the inventory and the region.  The Summer 3 Floor Set pages does not show Halloween.  Some stores have had it set already, but try not to be too upset if your store does not have a table of it out tomorrow morning.
  • Halloween Soaps will be 6 for $27 tomorrow...drats, because the new promo starts then.
  • And the Homebody Body Care Collection could be coming out for Fall One release.
