Athleta questions

[arch01]

First-my wallet hates all of you for drawing me in to the 25% off sale a couple weeks ago. Now I'm back shopping the sale/clearance.

Second-anyone have experience with price adjustments? One of the pairs of capris I ordered is now $7 cheaper. I can return the others and just repurchase (since I'm already at $100 in my shopping bag anyway...), but I could save some hassle if they're easy to deal with.

Third-sizing. It appears I'm between sizes, but I'm not 100% sure. The mediums in all of the running skorts I got fit fine in the undershort and length, but the waist takes a LOT of cinching to get it to where I want it (not tight but not loose). Is this just another thing I can attribute to my unfortunate genes-large rear end and thighs and a smaller waist and deal with it? Or should a small take care of the problem? I'm more concerned that the undershort will be too tight and end up curling up despite the grippy elastic.

And lastly... so if you wear something once, hate it and return it, what happens to that stuff?!

#1 - sorry, not sorry

#2 - someone posted recently that they got a price adjustment. I would definitely try it.

#3 - hard to say, but since returns are free I would buy a small and try it.  I wear a small in the pulse shorts, and I'm never a small in shorts.  I tried the mediums first and thought well maybe they'd be ok but ultimately the smalls are much better.

I can speak to the price adjustments. They have to be through the same channel that you purchased the item. So in store purchases will get price adjustments in the store, you can call or email to get an online purchase. I called and tried to get an adjustment on a store purchase from online and they wouldn't do it, so I just reordered online and will return the others to the store since I can't make it to the store in the 14 day window.

Go with the smaller size. I've found that the spandex needs to be tight to eliminate chaffing. I have a medium and small in the 2:1 and the medium did give me a little chaffing in the rain. If they are a little tight they aren't going anywhere

I guess they donate it, but I have no actual data to back that up.

Thanks re: price adjustments! I just tried-they won't do it since I used rewards $$. So I'll just repurchase, return, and use the rewards another time.

I'm going with all smalls this time, just ordering capris, and I'm going to pick a skirt and run in it tomorrow to see how it does. If it's less than desirable I'll exchange everything for smalls.
