I put something in my shopping bag and it's gone. Why?

If you choose to leave the site or if your shopping session times out, your shopping bag will retain your selections for one-hour. After an hour, merchandise is placed back onto our virtual shelves so other customers have the opportunity to make a purchase. It's just like a shopping cart in a store; if you left a retail store to have a latte and then returned later in the day, it is likely that the items in your cart will have been placed back on the shelves for other customers to purchase. Because Bluefly sells items of limited quantities, we urge you to purchase the items you are interested in when you see them.

The item I want is sold out. Will you get more in?

Generally, once a product is sold out, it is unlikely that we will receive another shipment. Products that we carry may only be available to us in limited sizes and quantities. However, every day at 6:31 a.m. EST we load new merchandise, so we suggest that you check the site regularly for your must-have item.

In determining retail value, our buyers sometimes rely upon information provided by our vendors. Please note that because of the great number of products we sell, we cannot guarantee that any particular item is being sold at the indicated retail value in any particular location at any particular time.
