Take an Extra 30% Off Final Sale This Week

A big "thanks!" to many of you, including Eleni, Tiffany Rose, Marietta, as well as Pakcola (in this post), & Christy (in this post), who let us know about another offer from J.Crew.

J.Crew is offering customers 30% off any purchase from Final Sale {no minimum} and free shipping (over $150 *after* discounts applied) with promo code EXTRA30. This offer is good through this Thursday, 4/1/10.

I am happy to see this promotion return again. I will definitely be checking out the final sale section. :)

Will you be taking advantage of this promotion? Are there any sale items you are interested in getting?

I won't be participating in this promo as I just bought some sale items last Friday. Would I be able to get an adjustment of 30% off my purchases since they were sale but with no extra off? I assume not.

Pauline said...

I just took the bait! I have been eyeing the pearl grey wool flannel schoolboy blazer for sometime (I have the navy one which I LOVE) and decided to purchase it.

I also got a pearl and crystal avalanche necklace and the wool twill club pants. I had to size up one size in the pants since they were not in my normal size in the color I wanted, so hopefully they won't look too ridiculous on me!

Genny said...

Nothing for me. I have my eye on one newish item so waiting for a sale on it in the future....Nice to see the promo but I didn't see any big update and nothing is catching my eye as being new to the sale....

Julie said...

I picked up a few things I had collected in my bag recently. This is my first purchase in a long time, however. I did notice something strange today. Nothing I added to my bag today had the red "Final Sale" label on the item selection page or in my shopping bag. I've been able to return non-labeled items in the past that were supposed to be FS thinking it was a fluke in their system. I hope they haven't done away with individually designating FS items in the shopping bags.

Lauren S. said...

I'm definitely tempted, but I'm hoping they might do an update later in the week. I really want the merino ethereal cardi in XS in the gray, and it's not popping back at this point. But this is a good opportunity to get some cashmere (the v-neck and henley).

Twiga said...

Finally caved and purchased the supernova necklace in black. I have been waiting forever for this to go on sale. I also picked up some crewcuts for the kids.

Sheil said...

I won't be participating because I really really wanted a percentage off of full priced items. I have no interest in being stuck with an item that might not fit, etc. just to get a deal.

jcrewphd said...

I got few things in my cart...mainly cashmeres. Do you ladies size down on some cashmere styles? I found some styles like the Henley sweater running large the last time I tried on.

I'm hoping on a large update later on...

Lynzeeroo said...

Can anyone comment on the Bryant platform peep toe pumps? Are they TTS? I've had my eye on the gold suede ones, has anyone seen these IRL? Thanks!!!

pike said...

I'd been waiting for a code so I was thrilled to see this on the site this morning. I picked up some basics as well as some sale items I'd been wanting to try: neapolitan tunic, toothpick ankle cords, silk linen v-neck, and the metallic blush abacus bracelet. I knocked out most of what was on my sale wishlist. :)

Twiga said...

pike- I love the Neopolitan Tunic- good buy! It is perfect for spring.

Elaine said...

AAAAAAARRRRGGGGHHHHH I knew it! Damn! I just spent almost $100 on Friday, all sale items. I could feel an 'extra' promo coming on too. GARRRRRRRRR.

Kristin said...

Anyone know what color Neon Rose is? Hot pink? More orange?

rynetta said...

JenLynn and Elaine, I feel you both! I caved this past Friday/Sunday, and bought a popback and a few other times. I called CS this morning to see if they'd give a PA, and I was informed that they've already given me a one-time courtesy adjustment. URGHHHH is right, Elaine!

rynetta said...

I meant items, oops!

FabulousFloridaMommy said...

I'm so glad to see another promotion. The Extra30 is a great time to buy Crewcuts since the shipping is free with no minimum. I picked up a graphic tee for my 6 year-old this morning and hope to be able get a couple for my other boys if there's a good update tomorrow or Wednesday. I did see a small update this morning, so hopefully the next one will be much larger. :)

Allison said...

Is anyone else having trouble with the website?

I was just about to place an order for the cashmere tie front cardi, and BAM the website seemed to crash!

I will be very unhappy if the sweater is gone!

Michelle said...

Good morning everyone!

Does anyone have any insight about the merino double-breasted cardigan (fit and color)? I'm a shortie so I'm not sure if it will look disproportional...Thanks!

Pansy said...

Just so happen to be wearing my J.Crew double-breasted pea coat with thinsulate from 2005 - it's still a workhorse but it's getting a bit dated. So I snatched up the double-cloth lady day coat with thinsulate in chocolate - couldn't resist for $101! (I will never buy a white wool coat ever again - the dry-cleaning bills are too much!)

pike said...

Pansy, I have two lady day coats with thinsulate and LOVE them. Enjoy!

joliecoeur said...

Has anyone come across critter shorts in a lavender color ? I'm pretty sure I saw them online about 2 weeks ago but nothing since. I am in need of one in a size 0 !

newreader said...

Good morning, does anybody know, when new arrivals will be in store? The SA told me: early april, could it be this saturday?
Thank you!

roxy said...

It is very tempting. There are a few items I want (cashmere, merino larkspur, crystal supernova necklace). Trying to be good though!

ARL said...

Every time I get an email from the crew I always go here first to make sure I haven't missed any of the fine print. Love my JCA info!

Danielle said...

Can anyone comment on the hand-cut flower art T? I haven't seen it IRL, and all the colors are still available on final sale. I like the ginger color, but not sure if I want to bite. Final sale has burned me before.

Christina said...

Website is down :o(

LT said...

The website is down for me!! Nooooo! I have a full cart for once... c'mon JC, I'm itching to spend $$ on you...

ARL said...

Ugh - site is down! Hope it saved my cart!

FabulousFloridaMommy said...

The site is working for me now. :)

lseal said...

Lynzeeroo,
I have the Bryant suede shoes in platinum gold. I really like them. They run a tad small because they are narrow in the toe area.

Jeanne said...

I *did* check out the sale section this morning, but there was nothing I particularly want or need, so it was easy to pass. As a couple of others noted, I'd be more likely to bite if this was a discount on new arrivals. I still have my eye on a couple more flowered perfect shirts. I'm a sucker for a pretty, girly print.

Heidi said...

lIke a lot of folks, I'm waiting for a promo off new items, nothing in the sale section for me.

newyork0311 said...

I had ordered last Saturday some full price items and the merino ethereal cardigan in heather gray. Can't get enough of this cardigan!

I'm glad that I did because now the cardigan is nowwhere to be found...I still took advantage of this promo...30%off? Too good to pass. Ordered more cashmere v-neck cardigan and double brested sweater, and the art cut flower tee, after spotting on one of the SAs. She looked so cute with the tee under a blazer.

Thank you Jcrew!

love2shop4bags said...

I'll definitely be taking advantage of the sale to stock up on some sweaters that I had been waiting to buy in hopes for a promo like this...but like others, waiting on a promo for FP items too!

BTW - lots of new markdowns in store as of last night: rose vines perfect shirt, $49.99; potpourri mini skirt, $59.99; all ethereal sweaters, $59.99; matchstick dark vintage distress jeans, $49.99; boyfriend chino shorts $?; palmera solid and printed camis (? all colors, saw pink, gray, and printed for sure, maybe $59 or 49). Perhaps these sale items will update online tomorrow, but I wouldn't be surprised if it happened after the 30% off promo expires.

sherbie said...

Lynzeeroo: I have the Bryants in leather - they fit TTS, and they're gorg on the foot. Am thinking about picking up the suede ones myself!

Stacy said...

Picked up three final sale things and a replacement jackie.

Kerris ruffle deep V-neck hthr stone

Canvas utility tote antique lilac

Jackie cardigan burnished olive

Cashmere crewneck tee light berry

Clicquot said...

Apropos of absolutely nothing...

Can any of you Polyvore-savvy ladies tell me how to add text onto a Polyvore set? I can't for the life of me figure out where the Font function lives!

TIA!

phyllis said...

Of course I bought a bunch of stuff over the weekend before this promo. But I couldn't help but bite -- picked up:

Twist neck painter tee in pale blossom (my fav tee)
Merino larkspur cardi in pale blossom
Applique mum tee in cool dusk
Adriana silk tank in classic navy

Baybaybay said...

I bought a couple of suiting pieces, a pair of ripstop cargos and threw in some FP items since I was over the limit for free shipping anyway. Only the cargos were listed as final sale at the checkout.

Lynzeroo, I bought the Bryant's in black leather and had to exchange for 1/2 size up. Maybe TTS for some but if you're at all borderline then I suggest you SU.

La Belle Helene said...

It's brilliant sunshine here, a happy harbinger that spring may really be setting in (usually get a snowstorm around Easter) - and that made me put on my azalea Bella :-)

That jacket is a big reason for my j.crew aficionad-ism ... but final sale, with or without a percentage off, is most definitely not :-(

Alanna said...

I really wanted those zebra striped shorts, but they've disappeared off the website. The other day there were a bunch of sizes left, so I'm hoping for a popback. I can't imagine they sold out that quickly!

hazeltwenty said...

Hi There,
I am a fan of this site! I have a J. Crew Handbag that I am trying to find the name of. Can anyone help?
I can post a picture, as soon as I figure out how!
Thanks.

Mei said...

I was so excited last night when I came across the sale on the website. I bought:

Superskinny printed patent belt, Slim square-buckle belt (metallic gold), Dogwood flower necklace, Vintage flower and ribbon necklace, Crystal symphony necklace, Ankle stretch toothpick jean in twilight wash, Twist-neck painter tee (soft dove), Petite favorite-fit everyday chino (khaki).

I almost ordered the Supernova necklace.

jcbellemarie said...

I picked up the supernova necklace in gunmetal, the vintage flower necklace, and the cashmere henley in pearl, and threw in a satin mirror to eek out to $150. I had gone > 3 weeks without ordering anything but I'm a sucker for extra% off and free shipping when I know I'll love the items.

Megha said...

sigh. i know as soon as the promo ends, the newer stuff will go on sale. curses! however, i will pick up a rose vines perfect shirt at my b&m if i see it. thanks to the commenter who posted about the in-store sale.

phyllis, can you please review the adrianna silk tank when you get it? it has been sitting in my bag but i need some sort of review before i pull the trigger. i don't think i've come across any reviews for it yet...

Lauren PhD said...

Has anyone tried the Lena isle dress (the knit dress in kind of a retro style)? I love knit dresses for spring and summer, but this dress doesn't look that flattering on the model (though perhaps it's the weird way she's standing). Any JCAs tried it?

katyleigh said...

Love this promotion because my friend is getting married and the Robin dress is one of her bridesmaid options. Already got mine in my current size, but am grabbing one size down because I'm optimistic that I'm going to drop a size by August. With this sale (and the employee discount my cousin got for me on the one I already have) two dresses are cheaper than one! Of course, I picked up a few other things too, like a dress for work and adorable bathing suit. Yay!

CrAzY4CrEw said...

So excited to see this promotion! Thank you J Crew! Bought v neck cashmere in neon rose...can any JCA's tell me what this color looks like IRL? Also bought supernova necklace, and three pairs of shoes! Can't wait to get my goodies!

mommydearest said...

Clicquot, I just sent you a message on polyvore about text.

hazeltwenty, I don't know if there is a better way, but I do know you can upload your picture to flickr or photobucket or something and then post a link here. Maybe someone can help you ID your bag that way.

Monica said...

I was suckered into it. I got the boatneck painters tee, the flower art tee and the tissue garland tank. I can't wait! How has j.crew's shipping been recently? Fast or slow?

Jenni said...

I placed an order last Friday...after reading a few of you were able to get a CS rep to honor the discount as a one-time courtesy I gave it a try too...she honored it and I got $55 back! =) After that I felt so good I went and placed another order! I got the Asymmetrical ruffle tee in ivory (for $10.49!!!), the Tissue Tier tank in Sweet guava, the Hand-cut Flower art tee in Light Ginger(for $13.99), the Flouncy flowers scoopneck tee in Sea Spray, I re-bought the Loulie Ruffle tank in Wild Blackberry (gonna take the one I have still with the tag on it back now that this one was $15 cheaper!), and rounded out the order with the Faceted Glacon necklace in black and the Duchess stone cocktail ring in black. All that for just a bit over the $150 free shipping requirement! Holy smokes, what an amazing sale! Thank you J Crew!!!

Lauren said...

I held back when I saw this promo come up last night, as I had an order arriving today (double V dress and Lilac showers dress). I tried on the dresses, which were too big and fit awkwardly, respectively, so those will be returned! Now with free rein, I couldn't resist a few sale goodies!

I got the Slim square-buckle belt in neon pink (which I've been coveting since it's debut) and in metallic silver (for versatility's sake), the Asymmetrical ruffle tee in dark charcoal, the Flouncy flowers scoopneck tee in dark chartreuse, and the Lucca beach skirt in pearl and the Vintage canvas bow tank in ivory at full price. Pretty good, I say!

opheliasmom said...

I, too, took the bait! Tie-front cashmere cardigan in navy, matchstick cords ($13.99!), painter tee in hyacinth, and the new-ish striped tee in navy, all for $155. I'm really pleased, a lot of nice basics for less than the original price on the cardigan.

Jenny K. said...

I'm very tempted. What I REALLY want, though, is not final sale - the Twill Utility Jacket. Anyone have a review on that? I don't know whether to order an XS or S...

math teacher said...

I did buy a sweater, the cashmere henley. I fell in love with this sweater last year but let it get away. So, I ordered my 2nd one this morning. :) I also ordered 2 tanks for my sister so we can share shipping.

Jenny K. said...

I meant Twill Utility Vest. :)

JenLynn said...

Danielle--I have the cut flowers tee in Ginger and I love the color combo. It looks great with many of J.Crew's pink/coral cardigans.

xoxo said...

I took the plunge on the drapey wool Tayla dress. I have had it on my wishlist since it came out and even contemplated purchasing at full price of $188. With this sale it is $70, what a deal! I hope it works out, it reminds me of my school uniform and may end up looking ridiculous as I'm no longer school age but we'll see.

I added a couple of other things for DH, no problem reaching the free ship point. Excellent promotion.

Mama Princess said...

Anyone have any comment on the Tuesday Strappy Heels? Wondering if they run 1/2 small or anything since they are marked Final Sale. I have had my eye on them and they are reduced further with 30% off hard to resist.. thanks!

Elena said...

I have a question about getting discount applied to previous orders. I called and was told that they cant do that because I already used free ship code. So I am just wondering if those who got 30% off applied, did you use free shipping code on the orders?

Clicquot said...

Thank you, MommyDearest!! :-)

Lynzeeroo said...

Thank you Iseal, sherbie, and Baybaybay for the feedback on the Bryant suede pumps. I'm between sizes so I'm definitely going to size up! They look so cute I'm glad I can get them at this price! :)

phyllis said...

Elena -- I actually called an hour ago to redeem the extra 30 on an order I made a couple of days ago (this was my first time calling Jcrew about anything like this) and the rep I spoke to was kind enough to apply it even though I had indeed used a free ship code on that order. Perhaps you just had someone who was a bit more of a stickler?

Megha -- Definitely will let you know! I had been eying it for a while myself and figured I'd take the plunge with the discount. Hoping I made the right choice :)!!

Miya said...

Kristin and Crazy4Crew: I ordered a cashmere sweater in neon rose a while back and returned it. The color is pretty, but it's super bright! (I guess that's why they call it "neon" rose?) It's like a deep hot pink. HTH!

Chris said...

Phyllis - they were so kind to me as well and extended discount on an order I placed couple days ago as well. I was thrilled! Sometimes they are flexible and I have had couple experiences when they are not so. At any rate, I appreciated the great customer service and told them how appreciative I was...

Twiga said...

Stopped in my B&M today to make a few returns and of course left with a tee marked down to $19.99, a cute teardrop necklace ($14.99) and got a friendly surprise of a 10% off coupon for my next in store purchase from 4/10-4/24 by sharing my e-mail! Thanks Jcrew!

kendra said...

Has anyone seen the Beacon tote IRL?? Am considering but can't find IRL pics

Okha said...

I drank the crewlade too, hard to resist such a great promotion; it doesn't get any better than this ever :). Got some tops I had been stalking, a vest and the scout chinos to try on. Am glad they weren't marked final sale. I want some other things in the new arrivals.. Well, they are too expensive for me right now... will wait ... ! Love Jcrew !

Anne said...

I picked up a black blossoms cardigan (really hoping I like it as it was a total impulse buy), merino ethereal cardigan in heather dusk and the super 120 pencil skirt in coal...of course just bought a bunch of stuff last week but couldn't resist the sale!

Lynzeeroo said...

Does anyone know what time the website has been updating recently?

maureen1125 said...

Last week I saw it update at 2am EST, but I think it usually updates somewhere between 4-5am EST. Does anyone else have any idea when it updates?

Jennifer said...

While this is a good deal, Im always worried Ill be stuck with something bc its final sale. They need to do the 30% off in stores more often!! They used to do it all the time and now its few and far between :(

Elaine said...

Oh evil, evil sale. I could not resist you! At least most of what was in my cart was not tagged as final sale, so if I don't love it I can take it back. Eeeeeeeek. I should not have gone for it, but my heart got the best of me. Arrrggghhh....

A. said...

I could resist the sale with the extra percent off. I also took the plunge on the drapey wool dress. I too noticed that many of my items did not say final sale, so I'm hoping that means I can return things that don't fit.
For those of you wanting mark down full price items, keep an eye out for your catalogues. I received mine yesterday with a 20% off one purchase of any amount.

xoxo said...

Lynzeroo, I also sized up in the Bryants so I think that is the safest way to go. I'm in between sizes but there was no way I could take the smaller size with the non-adjustable ankle strap. HTH Good luck.

xoxo said...

I should clarify, the ankle strap on the Bryant peep toes has a small elasticized insert but there is not an adjustable buckle closure as well, it is a fixed length.

Daisy said...

I ordered the cashmere short sleeved tee in the orange/melon color. I've put it in my cart several times with other promos, but never actually purchased.

By the way, I just received the Panier clutch in black (now 30 % off) and it's really lovely. A nice, elegant bag that is small enough to be a true evening bag, but yet enough with room inside to fit wallet, cell, makeup, etc. inside. I highly recommend it!

Cass said...

Mama princess, I have the tuesday strappy heels; and took my normal JC shoe size. They are great sandals, I think they are marked down so much b/c they are really special occasion once-in-a-while type shoes that people can't justify paying FP for.

I used the promo to reorder a bunch of stuff that is now much cheaper--great deal on a lot of the newer spring shoes that are on promo and the 30% works on top.

gigiofca said...

A. - I also recvd a catalog w/a 20% coupon for in-store use only. Interestingly, the front of the catalog says, 'Special offer in store for you (details on page 57)'

When the last offers appeared in catalogs, I went back thru the recycle bag to review mine. The front page notice is a good adjustment on J Crew's part to let us know that there is a coupon inside. If we're so lucky.

Marietta said...

Stopped in the 17th & 5th b&m to make a return, and came across the pale lilac crystal colletto necklace on sale for $69.99, the matching bracelet for $39.99, and the crystal glamour bracelet in crystal for $39.99. No extra % off, it's not FS.

Marietta said...

Woke up, couldn't fall back asleep to save my life... sale just updated...

Lynzeeroo said...

Yeah, site updated sometime around 4:30 this morning (I can't sleep either...bad dreams!). There were a lot of "I'm sorry, but this item was so popular it sold out..." items, which was really really annoying!! But I did buy the Bryant's in platnium gold, a cardigan, and a couple other t-shirts.

There were some strange sale prices on things, not sure if they were errors (and they weren't in stock anyway) but the Celosia cardi for $39.99, the waterfloral scarf for $39.99, etc...

hazeltwenty said...

http://s590.photobucket.com/albums/ss344/hazeltwenty/?action=view&current=March28039.jpg

Ok, here it is. I am looking for the name of this handbag. Anyone able to help?
Thanks.

Stephanie said...

I just got back from the 45th & Madison store and the place was packed! There was a long line for the dressing rooms and the sale section was bursting. A lot of the same stuff as before with the addition of the crackled copper skirt for $89.99 so expect to see that in online sale section soon. Also the contrast pencil skirt has been reduced to $49.99. I haven't been to the store in a week so all of this might be old news but I thought I'd share.

Lauren said...

@Gigi: I wish I got an in-store coupon! I just received the April catalog today, and it had a 20% off coupon for the website only.

lucy said...

Took advantage and picked up several cashmere sweaters :) The cashmere crewneck tee (item #98277) is hidden from the sales section but marked down to $69.99 - only $49 after the 30% discount! There's still a good selection of colors in all sizes.

gigiofca said...

Lauren - It's good to hear of both online & in-store coupons going out.

Kelley said...

Does anyone know how Jcrew determines who gets a discount coupon in their catalog? It it based on points or is it random? I seem to keep missing out on these little gems!

phyllis said...

If someone didn't get a catalog coupon, I'd be happy to give mine away -- $25 off $125 min. purchase (need to double check but I think this is an instore coupon). I have spent WAY too much already in this past month so if another JCA could put it to use, better than me throwing it in the trash!

mommydearest said...

Phyllis, I'm definitely interested if you decide you're not going to use it!!
