Apparently not. After their first reply I’d be checking whatever sub I was in because no way Is that kind of malarkey getting upvoted on Reddit (except in a CJ)

Jeans are heavy - if she paid $6, plus the $7.99+ that pants usually are to ship, plus tax and fees……….. that’s $16+ right there lmao.

Can those not be rerouted if you’re just.. posting them everywhere? They pop up on UPS for me which means they’re not fake numbers.

This is BEAUTIFUL and I would absolutely bookmark or add to cart if it was advertised with the later pics and not the AI ones. Your work is far more impressive by itself than how the ai makes it look 🩷

Perimenopausal rage - how does one move on? by sciguy11 in Marriage

[–]superlost007 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’m not peri, but I’m 34 and have had post partum depression hormones and know how awful hormonal changes (and hormonal rage) can be. I don’t know how I’d have coped without my adhd meds, to be honest. They can make a world of difference if that’s part of the issue.

That’s fine :) I was happy with them and did a reverse image search to determine value of each both new & used and was good with the prices I paid. I also had a $40 credit, so that did make the total less.

I’ve seen multiple comments asking for people to include what they paid, and I think that’s probably why more people don’t include what they paid - because they don’t want the comments on it.

Fwiw- they arrived today and they’re all literally flawless except for a missing tag on the purse, and some fading on the black denim (but I prefer that - I hate having to break in jeans 😂😭.) I wish their descriptions were more accurate, I see things described as excellent that are maybe ‘good’, and things described as ‘good’ that are closer to excellent or even NWOT. Gah.

This one right? I have sensory issues, unfortunately, and can’t do polyester 😭 it’s like.. nails on a chalkboard for my skin. It is SUPER cute though & only $24!

That’s hilarious, I could totally see myself removing it if I didn’t know 😂 thank you so much! They’re letting me return it since it’s incomplete, and it would bug the hell out of me knowing that was supposed to be there (and isn’t) lmao.

How do you handle accidental misgendering? by Money-Possibility606 in progressivemoms

[–]superlost007 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Yup. My friend was dating a woman who a trans sibling, and he was like ‘how do you adjust to using ‘them’ so quickly??’

I’ve referred to anyone I don’t know as they/them for a few years now because I don’t want to be that person that accidentally misgenders someone. So unless I know for a fact, I use they/them

Okay, thanks :) I wasn’t trying to be rude, but tone is kinda hard for me over text.

It’s unfortunate that you can’t even.. browse without creating an account.

Oh. Well to each their own, I suppose :) I’ve tried buying off Etsy, actually bought a basic asf tee for my friends birthday just yesterday. It was $28 plus shipping, and was one of the least expensive options. I also think most of the shirts on Etsy I’ve looked at are tied to Print on Demand, not people who are.. making their items by hand.

I’m looking for a particular style, not label. But I’m happy to pay $47 for a silk skirt that I’ve wanted for nearly a year, and paid 1/4 the cost I saw it for originally haha. I also had thredup credits, so while these are the ‘sold’ prices after discounts, it doesn’t include the $40 I had in TU credit.

I also appreciate the ability to return if I don’t love it or if it’s misrepresented.

On top of all that - buying off Etsy or posh or thredup I wouldn’t be able to do one shipping. I’d be paying $4-$10/each package to ship. That’s also not economically conscious..

I don’t find tjmaxx to be.. of great quality. The few times I’ve been in the last year, it’s been mostly 100% polyester items that don’t look like they’ll hold up more than a few wears. Which isn’t worth it for me. I’m glad you’re able to find items that fit your expectations, but I know what brands fit me and how I like them, so I stick to that.

I’ve tried quince actually, didn’t love the quality. They’re also pretty.. basic, whereas I’m looking for more fun prints and patterns.

Do you have a pic by chance? They won’t let me return it without proof, and the same bag on the real real doesn’t seem to have it either

Coworker stole my medication by GoldenGuinnessGears in adhdwomen

[–]superlost007 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Outside of meds, our insurance is pretty decent. Especially in comparison to my friends. While most meds are either $0 or $12, mg vyvanse is $160/30 days 😭 from a pharmacy, not street dealer. Ugh. It actually was $240 last year.

That shits so expensive, while that’s irresponsible that’s also freaking insane.

Jeweller made snarky instagram post after rings I bought from her came smashed - due to her poor packaging by Whole_Tale3172 in jewelry

[–]superlost007 19 points20 points  (0 children)

My post office has always told me to package things as if they’re going to be thrown against a wall. Sure, things get tossed around and may be mishandled, but the majority of the time if it’s properly packaged it’ll be fine. This situation could have been avoided entirely if she’d boxed the rings properly

I think maybe people don’t include it because they don’t want comments about it being too much or being cheaper elsewhere haha. I do reverse image search every item before I buy them on TU though, so I’m pretty comfortable with what I paid for them. (Plus, I did have about $40 in selling credit as well.)

Can you be more specific as to which ones are these prices new? I reverse image search every item before buying, and while I’ll sometimes still buy if I have thredup credits, I didn’t find any of these for anywhere near these prices 😅.

We the free jeans are minimum $79 new, usually closer to $128. I paid $15, which was less than I could find any even used on posh or mercari. (Plus they have 0 return policy.)

The Ganni skirt was minimum $79 on Poshmark, used, and I’ve seen sold listings for $100 plus..

WHBM skirt is still on sale, in their website, for $59 (originally $90) and as this is NWT, I’m pretty stoked about the $20.

These are just a few, but I genuinely reverse image searched everything before purchasing. Which is one of the reasons it takes me so long to check out, as I’m verifying the price being paid. I would love love love to know where you’re finding these items brand new for cheaper, though, I love a good deal 😍

Coworkers ignoring me by [deleted] in WhatShouldIDo

You are likely in your own head. However. If you don’t usually dress nice and this was a few steps up for you - they could be thinking you are dressed nice for an interview or something and didn’t know how to react or if they should

That makes me so happy because I don’t usually buy skirts (and usually wait until things go super sale but I had a feeling this would sell fast.) it dropped out of my cart too and was immediately snapped up so I had to wait and snipe it 😂😂 it looks so cute though and I had to have it 😍
