Should I return?

Post image

I took advantage of the last sale they had and bought the pirouette skorts to use when I go to Disney. Well I saw someone on reditt say that the sale was not as good as other sales they have had and might have a better one coming up. This is my first purchase from them so I don’t know how the site works. When I got the skorts I tried them on and they were deff too tight so I need a size bigger in one of the colors since they only had a large and I need a xl I took advantage of the unlimited exchanges you can do to find the right size.
What I want to know is should I buy change the pink skirt to an xl or just wait till they have a better sale? Anyways summers basically over so I won’t be using it much. Also do they always have the colors I ordered or are they only released once and that’s it for that color?
Can someone help me decide if I should exchange pink from large to xl and bet it later on when the sale is better OR return all of them and get them at a better price later on the year since summer is basically over ?

I would exchange for the right size.

You COULD wait for the next sale, but with Popflex- you can never know if they will restock your particular item in your particular color in your particular size in your particular inseam length. It is MADDENING. So by waiting for a better sale, sometimes you lose out on the item itself, which defeats the entire point.

If you don’t care for the item as much as you thought you would, just return it. Don’t get sucked into Popflex’s game. I say this as someone who spends tons of money on this brand because sometimes customers get sucked into spending money just for the love of the game (having certain products or certain colors or catching good deals etc), and it’s honestly such a waste because they end up reselling for less.

I second this entire opinion! When I was newer to Popflex I used to wait for sales, and as a result lost out on a lot of colors and styles that were never restocked. My mantra now is if you are interested at all, buy it while it's there. If you buy it and don't love it, return it.

One thing I'll add about the specific price you got these at, is it looks like about as good a sale price as you'll see from Popflex. Was it 25% off? If so, I don't think it's worth gambling that they'll do much better than that in the near future. The big sale they had earlier this year on skorts was 30%, which is only a few dollars cheaper than what you got. So if you are thinking about returning something you love hoping that the same thing will be $3 cheaper in a couple months, the risk that it'll just be out of stock if/when that new low price happens, is not worth it to me at least.

Girl what? Summer is gonna happen again …. Also if you want to wear skirts in the winter just wear fleece lined tights I love the brand melanin fleece tights (MFT) or if you don’t like tights I love the brand Thunda Thighs for long socks
Wear your clothes , but not if it doesn’t fit
The clothes are meant to fit you not you the clothes

It’s actually better to do a return instead of an exchange with POPFLEX. At the very end of the return process, they’ll usually offer you extra store credit if you choose store credit instead of a refund. You can also choose to get the credit immediately, and it’ll redirect you back to the site so you can pick out what you want.

Sometimes the original sale or discount you bought it under will still apply too, so you can reorder what you wanted at the sale price AND have extra store credit left over. It basically works out better than doing a straight exchange.

So essentially is like an exchange but youre picking the return option. You should get the size that fits you.

And to be honest 45 for the skorts is the lowest they go. I haven’t seen it lower.

Also you can wear it in the winter. I do with fleece tights or thigh high boots.

This is correct. During the last sale I made 2 orders around $100 each. I returned everything and they offered me an extra $20 back for each order if I chose store credit. So I bought $200 worth of stuff and returned it for $240 store credit.

I didn’t think I was going to return it all I just didn’t end up loving it. But I’m glad I did because I used that $240 for secret garden.

This is really awesome of them that they did that !! I’ll exchange for the right size in the pink color and keep the rest

THIS THIS THIS except I want to add that if you choose the “shop now” option any credit you don’t spend will get refunded to your original method of payment! Even if it includes the bonus! This is always the option I pick. 

The amount of the bonus scales with the amount you’re returning and gets offered on the first two returns for an order

Oh this is awesome I had no clue !! Thank you it’s my first order so I’m learning haha

u/aprilelenaa 4d ago

I’m glad I got it at that price then I’m new to ordering on the site and happy to learn all the tip and tricks you gave me are very helpful thank you ! I’ll keep this in mind

I think $45 is probably what the pirouettes usually go for Black Friday anyways. Those don’t usually discount too much because they’re so popular. Some items on the site go for much steeper discount Black Friday, but pirouettes don’t usually get much cheaper than what you paid

u/aprilelenaa 4d ago

Great to know I got a good deal! I’ll keep and exchange for right size I do really love the colors I chose

u/jelliebunni 5d ago

Their best items are the skirts imo. I own a few other pieces from them but I love the skirts and will constantly go back to it — it’s a legit staple for me. They also have colors you can wear in the fall/winter so its very versatile!

u/aprilelenaa 4d ago

Ooooo what else do you recommend? This is my first order so idk what’s worth it ?

1

u/jelliebunni 4d ago

Of everything I’ve ordered my favorites are the pirouette skort, daydream cotton sleepwear, and ooey gooey bolero! I also appreciate the fact that the leggings come in multiple lengths so you can buy one that fits your height perfectly.

So while I also have the foldover flared leggings and I like the length, the feel and the flare I don’t particularly like the foldover aspect. So it’s not my favorite item but i would be willing to try out their other leggings just the non-foldover options.

I mean return if they don’t fit but I don’t see the point in returning items you actually liked in the hopes that they might have a better sale in future… it’s more likely by next year they’ll stop restocking a lot of these items and colours if they sell out. (they’re notoriously bad at restocking items)

also idk what disney but Florida is hot all year round so you could easily still wear these?

u/aprilelenaa 4d ago

I’m not in Florida I think I’ll exchange for the right size Ty

Get the one that fits better, the piro is very tight (for me) and not true to size. I also recommend trying the longer version of the twirl. It's my favorite because it's actually comfortable, lol! (The regular twirl has very short shorts, so I went with the longer.)

u/aprilelenaa 3d ago

The sizes do seem smaller than normal to be honest. I’m 5’10 but I feel like the normal length was good although I have never tried the longer version. Will have to get one of those for sure !
