Off on a tangent: Gap offers Free Shipping

Don't worry, I am still all about the Crew! But sometimes I get coupon codes that I think might be useful for some of you J.Crew Aficionadas. So, I plan on sharing those when I come across them like now...

For purchases at the Gap, Banana Republic, Piperlime, and Old Navy... Free (standard) shipping for any size purchase (J. Crew are you taking note!) with promo code 1CHECKOUT. This offer expires 5/31/08.

Also, it is worth noting that the Gap has increased their standard flat shipping fee to $7. (Grrr.)

  1. Thank you for this code. I just filled up my cart yesterday with their "four stores" thing and was looking for a coupon code because of that shipping increase. I'll be using it today ;)

  2. Hi Marisa! I am happy to hear the coupon came in handy. (I know how rare it is to come across a free shipping code at the Gap too!)

  3. Alexis, thanks so much for the code! Like Marisa, I too had some things in my cart that I was waiting to buy! I hate that they raised the shipping charges!

  4. Hi Anonymous at 10:41AM! Thanks for the thanks! :)

    I am not a big fan of the shipping increase either. But since gas prices are increasing, it was only a matter of time that the shipping costs for retail stores were going to reflect it.

  5. Hey all, I understand increasing their flat shipping rates at GAP b/c of the postal increase.... Still beats JCrew's shipping prices....

    Also, got an email from JCrew saying if customers who hold their credit card want to see free shipping as a perk to call WFNNB JCrew's CREDIT CARD customer service number (I think I got those initials right) Anyway, the customer service number is on the charge statement. Happy telephoning:)

  6. Thanks jagjag2! Is that like a telephone petition of some sort?

  7. I emailed JCrew about what I felt were lack of card perks--after they sent me an email stating what their perks were---I responded saying I didn't think the perks were that great and had they done their research...the number one thing online consumers want is free shipping...so they told me to phone their credit card company and ask for it. I didn't feel like I was getting "blown off" or it was a standardized email....just a suggestion from them that I liked and thought I would pass on....the more people that want this as a perk that call I guess the better...

  8. Hopefully J.Crew will listen to its customers and offer some additional perks. It can only help business. :)

  9. From one JCrew junkie to another...thank you much for the shipping code. You would not believe how many sites I searched before coming across your blog. I, like you, shop at JCrew ALL the time and constantly looking for additional ways to save.

    Again, thank you Alexis!

  10. I used this code yesterday and it worked fine but it's no longer working today. Has anyone else had this problem?

  11. Just in....you can shop at all 4 stores and pay only one shipping fee of $7....GAP, Old Navy, Banana Republic and Piperline. Now, that is a pretty good deal if you shop all 4 stores....or even just 3 of them like I tend too!

  12. Also, now free returns by UPS or USPS to Banana, GAP, Old Navy! That is super! You can still go to the store to return items too.

    JCrew really needs to take note!
