I just noticed on J.Crew's website that they are offering an extra 20% spring sale, with code EXTRA20!
ReplyDeleteOT - J.Crew offers 20% off for all items until May 1st. Code is EXTRA20.
ReplyDeleteI hope spring ends soon. My allergies are killing me.
ReplyDeleteHaha - I don't know why I'm ever naive enough to believe that I will be the first to report on JCrew happenings...Extra 20% off but no final sale. Yay. Almost makes for a semi-even playing field for those who didn't get the red card for about 48 hours.
ReplyDeleteCan I combine free shipping and extra20?
ReplyDeleteJ - No combining. J Crew is functioning in an alternate universe when it comes to shipping charges.
ReplyDeleteI just sent them an email complaining... it's already ridiculously high to shop in CA, let alone having to pay for shipping!
ReplyDeleteCheck out my taxes on this order:
total $563.01
gift options $0.00
subtotal $563.01
promotions $(140.80)
shipping $18.50
tax $56.70
total charge $638.21
J,
ReplyDeleteIf you are buying that much shipping doesn't seem too bad and Chicago has high taxes as well. So is life....if I really want the stuff I just bite the bullet and don't think about it too much.
Depending on how much you order free shipping is better b/c if you return items then you are not out money. I tend to prefer free shipping on items I am unsure of.....
ReplyDelete20% is basically covering shipping, that's how I look at it.
ReplyDeleteI ordered white matchstick jeans, my only JC purchase all month, to go w my new Tory Burch tunic. The tunic was a splurge, but I was CRAVING something colorful, not ruffled, and not frayed!!!!!
j- wow $56 in tax?! im sorry you have to deal with that!
ReplyDeleteJ- why are you complaining? You can buy anything in San Diego and have to pay that percentage in sales tax. Of course, the more you buy, the more you pay. Here's a way to scale back on paying sales tax...don't buy as much, big spender!
ReplyDeleteTaxes are an unfortunate part of life. :(
ReplyDeleteJust be glad you don't live in Canada. Here are my order details:
MERCHANDISE TOTAL $351.94
GIFT OPTIONS $0.00
SUBTOTAL $351.94
SHIPPING & HANDLING $23.50
TAX $88.73
TOTAL AMOUNT $464.17
Feel better?
Yikes! Those taxes are a killer! I ma a big spender, but I also am a hardworking American... you should see me complain about the taxes I pay to Uncle Sam... in the thousands! Have a good day everybody.
ReplyDeleteWow, I'm so glad I live in Oregon (no sales tax)!!!
ReplyDeleteI live in Alberta, Canada and we don't have sales tax here either. The tax is J.Crew adding duty and customs fees (brokerage) to the order. It used to be a lot less and J.Crew increased the rates shortly after the new year. There was no change to the Canadian duty rate so I suspect it was an increase in brokerage fees by J.Crew and/or UPS.
ReplyDeleteIt's ridiculous, really. When you factor in the 20% exchange rate the clothes become awfully expensive. Good thing they're so darn cute!

Hey, don't cry to us if your exchange rate sucks. I remember going up to Canada when the dollar to the CAD was 1:1...you guys were copping attitudes left AND right.
ReplyDeleteHey fellow Canadians,
ReplyDeleteA way to save on taxes is to have your items shipped to a freight forwarder (usually $2.50 for a package) and go across the border and pick it up. If you live near a border, this is quicker and cheaper than having the items shipped to Canada. Further, the duty you pay when crossing is less than that calculated by JCrew.
