25% Off & Free Shipping on $150+ at J.Crew

"Thanks!" to many of you, including Tiffany Rose (in this post), GigiOfCa (in this post), D*ska (in this post), as well as Jennifer & Irina, who shared the following promotion with us.

J.Crew is offering 25% off *and* free shipping on orders of $150+ with promo code STAYWARM. This offer expires Wednesday, November 9, 2011. The fine print includes:
*Offer valid on J.Crew and J.Crew Factory items at jcrew.com only. Offer not valid at J.Crew retail stores or J.Crew Factory stores. Offer does not apply to previous purchases, alterations or the purchase of gift cards. Offer not applicable on third-party branded merchandise. 25% discount applies to online orders of $150 or more before shipping, handling and taxes are added. Free shipping offer is valid on Internet orders shipped via regular shipping (3 to 6 business days). Free shipping applies to online-only orders of $150 or more before shipping, handling and taxes are added. Offer valid through Wednesday, November 9, 2011, 11:59pm ET. Savings and free shipping are applied at checkout with code STAYWARM. Offer not valid on phone orders. Cannot be combined with any other promotion or redeemed for cash. Limit one promotional code per order. Details of offer are subject to change.
This is the type of promotion we usually do not see too often since it applies to both sale and full priced merchandise. I am pleasantly surprised to see this one back so quickly from the last one (refer to the October 20th "25% Off & Free Shipping on $150+ at J.Crew" post). Yey!

Will you be taking advantage of the STAYWARM promo? Are you loving the new promotion from J.Crew? Did you pick up an item or two? Please share! :)

  1. There are several sale items I would love but it doesn't seem they've updated and none is in my size. I will try again tomorrow! Nothing in the full price area I need, I took advantage of the last promo. This is a great code though, so happy they are doing more of them.

  2. FYI...they will give you the free shipping even if the 25% off takes you below $150--as long as your original order total is $150 or more.

    I placed an order for the Blythe blouse in fiesta purple and the Factory Blackwatch trousers to replace the ones I bought this weekend without the promo. Dang the pricing games!

    ReplyDelete
  3. oooh, I was going to wait but the Hacking jacket in tipped wool (black w/ gray) is divine. It already sold out in my size in the blue, I don't want to lose this color!

    ReplyDelete
  4. and look at that, the blue is back in stock, albeit with a March 2013 ship date.

    ReplyDelete
  5. I just went ahead and re-ordered the boots I just ordered the other day. Wouldn't even bother trying to call and ask for a PA.

    ReplyDelete
  6. Can't believe that they're repeating another 25% off promo so soon! I ordered another Isabel sweatshirt, this time in the navy. Wore my heather grey one all weekend, the heather caramel one the weekend before - I'm in love with these.

    All done shopping until springtime.

    ReplyDelete
  7. This is a nice promo. I ordered a couple of presents last week and darn it I should have waited!

    ReplyDelete
  8. Nice sale if you have the $150+ of items to order. I got a promo for 20% off and free shipping and returns from Boden this morning. Placed an order from them and then I saw this email. So will pass on this promo. Hoping there will be better sales closer to Christmas. Obviously with these promo so close together they need to make some sales so will play the wait and see game:)

    ReplyDelete
  9. I was so tempted to order on a few cashmere sweaters on the weekend and so glad I held on. What a pleasant surprise to find the 25% and free shipping. Made me very happy.

    ReplyDelete
  10. Got the double serge pencil skirt in bright blue and the blouson dress in royal paisley. This is my third blouson dress now (got both stripey ones in black and pink). Multiples fever.

    ReplyDelete
  11. There is a size 0 available in the gallerista skirt... it's hidden.

  12. Just rec'd a ton of merch from the last promos ... and my credit card statement is looking SCARY... so I'm passing.... or at least that's what I'm saying for now... :)

  13. Ebates is offering 8.0% cashback on J.Crew orders right now :)

    ReplyDelete
  14. Thanks to Gigiofca for posting on another thread that Ebates is offering 8% cash back at JC. Combined with the 25% off promo, it might be time for me to finally order the majesty peacoat in fiesta purple.

  16. This is out of character, but I just used it to buy the no 2 pencil skirt in bright blue and veridian green. $90 for a skirt... way out of my normal comfort zone but I wear these skirts constantly, and I've been pining for the bright blue since 2008! Veridian green is backordered so who knows if I'll even want it by the time I get it, but I'd like to at least give it a try. And the 8% cash back pays the outlandish NYS sales tax, woot!

    ReplyDelete
  17. Love that ebates refund! I picked up a few things (including wool capris in the bright blue and daisy lace tee), but am waiting on ordering a coat. I'm still hoping for a 30% off outerwear promo in the next couple of weeks.

    ReplyDelete
  18. Soooo tempting!! I may bite on a couple of items today...

    ReplyDelete
  19. I can't believe they took the cashmere long sleeve t off for the sale..it is not there.

    ReplyDelete
  20. Is the Elodie any thicker than the Blythe? I am wanting the Vintage Champagne color of the Elodie, but would prefer not to wear a tank underneath... but my cream Blyth was so shear :/

    ReplyDelete
  21. I CAN'T BELIEVE THEY PULLED THE LONG SLEEVE CASHMERE T FOR THE SALE. IT'S NOT HERE.

    ReplyDelete
  22. Kate I hate it when that kind of foolishness goes on during a promo! So frustrating.

    ReplyDelete
  23. Oh, it's there, they just make you google it. Dumb. But anyway, here is the link for the cashmere long sleeve tee. I just googled "jcrew cashmere long sleeve t" and it was the second link. So if there are any other items that seem to have disappeared, you may try this. Why do they do this!?!?

  24. Of course, I had placed an order yesterday. Luckily CS did a "one time courtesy" and adjusted my order... although it wouldn't have made any difference since nothing I ordered was final sale anyway. I bit again today on a few factory pieces that I was waiting for a promo for - although mostly for my husband. To all who are buying the factory blackwatch pants: you will love them. Fully lined and they look like a dream.

    ReplyDelete
  25. Wow Kate you're right the long sleeve cashmere tees are gone. I ordered four of them last promo because the sweater promo before that excluded them. The Thomas Mason shirts are gone too. I ordered four of those last time too because I had never seen them on sale.

    I'm still hoping someone can offer feedback on the Talisman jacket in double serge wool. I'm afraid "seriously sleek silhouette" is code for cannot move arms.

    A word of caution on the sleepwear. I got the gingham last time and there's no elastic in the waist. If you lose the drawstring, your pants will fall down. They are super cute, especially the navy/white gingham, but I find their cost-cutting methods disheartening.

    ReplyDelete
  26. What a great promo. I think I am ready to get a coat.

    ReplyDelete
  27. Dinster - I re-bought the paisley blouson as well and that makes 4 for me.

    Two items I haven't even received yet were also re-bought (should be here Thursday though). I also threw in a couple of other items I'd been eyeing and completely forgot about the cashmere tees.

    ReplyDelete
  28. Anyone who has used ebates...I would love to order the calf hair loafers, and basically 33% off sounds pretty good to me. When you use ebates do you get refunded right away? I want these loafers to go on sale, but I am afraid I will miss out if I wait to long. Any comments on this would be super helpful. Thank you! :)

    ReplyDelete
  29. The Mona pumps in gray flannel are gone too...!

    ReplyDelete
  30. For those who have purchased/seen the vintage thermal henley in champagne/navy stripe, is the champagne an ivory color or is it more beige?

    Thanks!

    ReplyDelete
  31. Clicquot - The flannel Monas went on sale (last week, I believe), so they may have legitimately sold out.

    Nothing for me so far, though I keep thinking about getting a Cashmere Long Sleeve Tee - can anyone comment on the sizing of these (believe it or not I've never tried one!)?

    ReplyDelete
  32. Thanks so much, J.Crew JD for the heads-up about having to search for the cashmere l-s tees through Google. How stupid. Those are always the first things I try to pick up on promos like this, and I might have suffered a minor freak-out if I thought that J.Crew took them away during the sale.

    I ordered the Bi-Stretch Wool Suit on sale and the Bright Blue No.2 Pencil at FP last Friday and they'll probably be on my doorstep tomorrow afternoon. Darn me anyway for not waiting. I doubt it's even worth it to try to get a price adjustment.

    ReplyDelete
  33. Caitlin the cashmere long sleeve tees are TTS and flattering. They are every so slightly longer than I would choose because I'm short-waisted but they are good this year (so far).

    The champagne/navy thermal is a creamy ivory to me. Not white at all but not tan.

    ReplyDelete
  34. I'm intrigued by the cashmere items but am concerned about pilling .... I have never owned a Jcrew cashmere item ... how do they hold up?

    ReplyDelete
  35. I also ordered the royal paisley blouson dress but I'm so glad it's no longer final sale, since I normally need petite sizes. Also trying the black lace blouson in a petite size.

    ReplyDelete
  36. Stene, Ebates cashes out once a quarter automatically. Mine goes right into my Paypal account.

    ReplyDelete
  37. In regards to the Cashmere long sleeve t - when I search it says $119.99, but in my box it says $158... is it only select colors at that sale price? If so, which ones? I cannot for the life of me figure this out!

    ReplyDelete
  38. I bought the paisley blouson dress a size up for extra length - I haven't had the chance to try it on IRL... what do you gals think? Again, so happy final sale is gone. :)

    ReplyDelete
  39. I signed up for Ebates and finally got my majesty peacoat. Thanks again Gigi for clueing me in to Ebates!

    ReplyDelete
  40. I bit, but not on the items at the top of my purchase list surprisingly enough. I desperately want the Swish skirt in plaid, the No. 2 pencil skirt in harvest tweed and the Siren dress but I'm convinced that, like many of the skirts I've bought so far this season (see: the Origami skirts in plaid and peony and the No. 2 in metallic boucle), they will be subject to further markdowns in 2 weeks time and I will feel like a fool for jumping on them when I did. What I did pick up is the Perfect fit tank in henna (on backorder), the Honeycomb cable sweater in mint and the Bellamy leather ankle boots in warm grey. I've been eyeing the Bellamy boots in the chocolate color for a while and may buy those too if I like the gray ones, but I decided at the last minute to go with the gray because my brown boots from last year are broken but fixable while my gray boots are broken beyond repair. ;)

    Has anyone tried the Bellamy boots by the way? I'm wondering how they are in terms of size. I always take a 7 in heels or 6.5 in flats, however just recently when I purchased the Adrianna pumps, I found that the extra room in the 7.5 made them far more comfortable considering I plan to wear tights underneath so I ordered a 7.5 in the boots too. Hope they're not huge!

    Sad to see that there was no update to sale this morning, though it did save me about 5 minutes of browsing since I just looked through the sale stuff last night in anticipation of a Monday promo.

    ReplyDelete
  41. I ordered the wool pencil skirt in bright blue, but I need some suggestions on colors to wear with it. All I can manage is black, grey, navy and ivory (boring!) :-) Thanks in advance for any suggestions!

    ReplyDelete
  42. @ Jackie: I've been collecting J.Crew's cashmere since about 2005, and the newer sweaters still hold up really well in comparison to the older ones in regards to pilling. I have found that the more classic shapes - i.e., the tees, shawl collar sweaters, and cardigans - seem to resist pilling more than the trendier shapes, and the featherweight cashmere pills more than the regular weight. Fit in general is TTS, I've seen other JCA's size down in the Isabel Sweatshirt for a cleaner look, and the lighter colors seem to fit ever-so-slightly looser and longer than the darker ones.

    HTH :)

    ReplyDelete
  43. Yes, I got a bangle and the Symphony coat in vibrant flame. I've had that coat on my mind for over two months and I tried it on in store a few times so I'm thrilled to finally get it with a discount. I am also going to get my boy to buy me the cashmere cable knit sweater and cashmere should button sweater for xmas. I wish I could buy some mona pumps and scoopneck top (formerly Talia top) but they'll have to wait.

    ReplyDelete
  44. Hi xoxo - it's definitely an ivory as opposed to a beige. Very cute piece.

    ReplyDelete
  45. Popped into the store today to make some returns. They were honoring the 25% off if you had a $150 minimum. They had the 20% off sweater promo and would have applied both if I'd have bought any sweaters.

    The Liquid Silk Skirt was $50 before promo. The plaid Flair was $50 and the pine green Flair was $70.

    ReplyDelete
  46. Snatched some modern red shorts and a light blue perfect shirt. I'm trying to create the color scheme from the upcoming Spring Weddings and Parties preview with Kate mentioned here last month. Love the color combos in that photo!

    Also bought the Resin bracelet and two painted bangles to hopefully ease my disappointment from the plasticness of the Lulu Frost bangle I sent back. Love the stacked bracelet look right now.

    ReplyDelete
  47. Yes, I did damage -- a red Biennial satchel is on its way to me as we speak. I wasn't too crazy about this bag but I would like to give it a try, see how it feels. I may change my mind later on. The 25% off promo plus the rewards card helped a lot in bringing down the price.

    ReplyDelete
  48. KATE, just search for it in the search box and it comes up in all colours.

    ReplyDelete
  49. I bought a full price shirt at my B&M and it's on sale online so it's going back after I receive my order. Also bought a cambridge turtleneck sweater because there's a void in my closet for cozy easy pieces.

    ReplyDelete
  50. This is off-topic, but has anyone washed their Blythe Blouse or other similar J Crew silks at home rather than taking it to the dry cleaner? If so, what did you do and how did it come out?

    ReplyDelete
  51. Does anyone know if B&M stores are still running their men's outwear promo? They were having a 25% sale for WEEKS a few weeks ago. I would love if they would stack the two promos!

    ReplyDelete
  52. Has anyone ordered the newest version of the bootcut jeans in dark rinse? How's the fit? For the bootcut cords I found the fit this year was a bit looser and the rise higher, not as flattering as last year's (tried the rusty brick shade which was redder indoors and rather pumpkin-ish in daylight). Also, do the Minnies this year still fit really low on the hip? I have a factory pair from two years ago that are super low.

    May finally bite on the double serge pencil skirt if someone can assure me it's professional and not too va-va-vooom!

    ReplyDelete
  53. Just wanted to mention the Tartan Perfect Shirt for winter/holidays during this promo. It was super popular last year, selling out, and I wore it an insane amount. :) With the 25% off, it's a reasonable price.

    ReplyDelete
  54. Dara-
    Thank you for the heads up on the Ebates promo! Love to save even more $$! Placed an order for another pair of matchstick cords and a cashmere long sleeve tee that I have wanted for awhile.

    ReplyDelete
  55. shopwithm, thanks so much for posting about the sweater promo! I definitely would've waited to place my order had I known, so I will be making a trip to my B&M after work to see if I can locate the same items (one was a sweater) and then return the online stuff when it arrives.

    ReplyDelete
  56. Not to be a sourpuss, but has anyone noticed that the entire Collection page is missing unless you google it? http://www.jcrew.com/AST/Browse/WomenBrowse/Jcrewcollection/Collection.jsp

    Are they really gonna hide it til Wednesday?

    ReplyDelete
  57. LOVE! Just bought the Biennial bag. The promotion, plus the $75 I had in gift and rewards cards helped me to save more than 100 bucks. Yay!

    ReplyDelete
  58. Too good not to at least try the tinsel tweed skirt in fiesta purple. I hope I like it. I know I'll have to have it shortened if I do, so the discount helped sway me. Glanced around at other stuff before placing order, and really: J.Crew's prices are out of whack compared to the quality. No wonder they keep having to offer these promos to move stuff.

    ReplyDelete
  59. Perfesser -- I guess va-va-voom all depends on what industry you're working in, but I know I speak for many JCAs that the pencil skirts are one of JC's best pieces, period. I'm 5'5" and they usually hit me mid-knee -- they're not skin tight and the wool is nice and thick, not clingy. I think they're as classic and traditional (apart from the terrific colours) as you can get.

    Highly recommended!

  60. Elizabeth,

    Oh, I love sleepwear with no elastic and just a drawstring waist. Comfy. Is that this years style or last years? May need to stock up. Yeah!

    ReplyDelete
  61. I just bought the Biennial bag in black,and I can't wait to see it in person !!! I have been buying bags from JC,along with their clothes,for years now,and I have been thrilled with every bag I have purchased !!

    ReplyDelete
  62. If you have student/teacher discount , it's time to buy sweater! The total discount will be 80%*85%*75%=51%, almost half off!

    ReplyDelete
  63. Have pulled the trigger twice today - the first was all gifts, and then decided that I "needed" to give myself the cashmere T in indigo from my dad for Christmas. He will be pleased with this as he does not shop anymore! It will be all nestled in a lovely box soon enough! And I ordered some more for my teenage daughter!

    ReplyDelete
  64. WMM - Did you receive your jeweled cafe capri pants yet? I'm interested to hear what you think!

  68. OT - but if you happen to be a 12T, there are three wool Bellas on ebay right now, including navy and azalea!

    ReplyDelete
  69. HI dagmara, how does the Symphony coat fit? Is it true to size or did you need to size up? Thanks!

    ReplyDelete
  70. @ samantha, it means that not all the colors are on sale. You have to look in the sale section to find the colors that are on sale, they won't come up through the search, unless ALL the colors are on sale. Hope it makes sense.

    I was waiting for this promo to order the girl's cashmere scarf and hat and the tobbogan snowpants for my daughter and I threw in the cashmere shell in navy for me (I am still kicking myself for cancelling my order of the shell during the January crazy sale last year). Also reordered the scoopneck blouse in Seine stripe that I had just bought last week. By the way they changed the product name of this blouse to reflect the fabric content (it used to be "silk scoopneck blouse", while the top is 100% rayon) but now even the one that is really silk (the one that comes in the wreath color) has lost "silk" in the product name. Really, they can't get it right!

    ReplyDelete
  71. I'm so sorry if this feels off-topic but I'm in pain and feel you are the ones who will relate! I love bright colors *AND* I am allergic to cashmere and wool. Welts-for-a-month allergic.

    SIGH.

    You can imagine, EVERYTHING I covet at JC is wool or cashmere.

    Double sigh.

    ReplyDelete
  72. Hi Shekster, I think it is tts but it is cut to be close to the body. You probably couldn't wear a bulky sweater underneath. It's not a winter coat imo, but a fall one. I'm 5'6, 135 lbs and 4 fit me best.

  74. Has anyone seen the wool/cashmere Thinsulate toggle coat in person? I'm planning to order it with the promo, but I'm just not positive about the weight/thickness of the material, or the size (I tend to be about a 4/6/8 in J. Crew). Any feedback would be much appreciated!

    Have a lot of people had luck with price adjustments for this promo, particularly for We Will Find it For You orders? I ordered two Tippi sweaters and the silk scoopneck blouse in Wreath over the red phone last Wednesday, and I'm wondering if they will honor the 25% off if I bring all the items to the store. I'm usually very good at getting price adjustments, but haven't tried it with a red phone order yet!

    ReplyDelete
  75. @ pink maple -- I'm re-posting what I wrote back here:

    I've washed my silks in cold water machine wash (specifically the Blythe shirt and the ruffled silk camisoles). Sometimes I wash in the sink with cold water and conditioning shampoo.

    Both work great! Easier on the wallet and the environment than dry cleaning.

    For the silk camisole, I ran my finger over the micro-pleats while it was still damp, and while the ruffles were fluffier than before, all the pleats held without ironing.

    ReplyDelete
  76. Thanks dagmara, I've had my eye on that coat!

    ReplyDelete
  77. I wanted to chime in about the quality of the cashmere. I have 5 pieces I have bought in the past 2 years and worn quite a bit. I am hard on sweaters, I have three toddlers :) and none have pilled except my featherweight cardigan and that only pilled under the arm where there is constant rubbing. I have zero pilling from the regular cashmere. I love it.

    ReplyDelete
  78. I finally pulled the trigger on the Majesty peacoat in Dark Peony! I'm so excited to receive it!

    ReplyDelete
  79. Does anyone have any reviews on the Colorblock Cardigan (#61219)? I missed out on the Academy Cardigan from a couple years back, but am wary of the description "Grandpa's closet inspiration" and "oversize".

    TIA!

    ReplyDelete
  80. Forgot to add that I already take an xx-small, and would not be able to size down any further!

  81. JennC: Shopwithm did a review of the Colorblock Cardigan here http://shopwithm.blogspot.com/2011/11/jcrew-review-colorblock-cardigan.html. HTH!

  82. Samantha- I have the champagne Elodie and the silk is a nice weight- the cami is not mandatory underneath like so many other silks. Do not know about Blythe.

    ReplyDelete
  83. I bought some items last week, and glad I did despite not getting the 25% off because now they are sold out!

    ReplyDelete
  84. Popped by my B&M last night to capitalize on the sweater promo in connection with my student discount, and I was told that they were specifically instructed by their district manager not to honor the 25% off $150 online promo but the manager was willing to make an exception because I mentioned that other stores were honoring it (and it probably didn't hurt that I was dressed in head-to-toe current collection, which occurred to me later). Picked up the honeycomb cable sweater in mint for around $40 and the Siren dress for around $245 (still too much, but so pretty). While I got quite swept up in discount heaven, I'm just not sure about the sizing on these two items... the Siren dress runs quite large on top as opposed to how snugly it fits the model online, so I'm questioning whether to keep the size 0 I bought or look around for a 00 to exchange it for. In my experience with the summer dresses this year (Cashbah, Paradisa, cotton gauze Belinda), 0s were generally too big but 00s were WAY too snug in the ribcage. Still, I'd hate to pay a tailor $50 or more for alterations when I still feel the dress was a splurge. At least it has good seams for alteration.

    In terms of the honeycomb sweater, I ordered an XS online yesterday before I went to the store and bought an XXS in store (no XS in mint at the store). The sleeves feel too snug on the XXS but they look fine. The sleeves on the XS, which I tried in the pretty red color, feel great but the body looks too wide. Ultimately I think I will have to wait to get my online package and try on both sizes with the skirts I plan to wear them with. Hate that I'm between sizes these days in sweaters and dresses when the skirts fit me so perfectly! My closet is becoming quite bottom heavy...

    ReplyDelete
  85. Ugggh. I bit. Again. I purchased a pinstripe 120s dress to go with my jacket (I have the pants and two skirts), the Mona suede pumps in the light brown color and the (waitlisted) no. 2 pencil skirt in vibrant flame. Then I went back to the well later and got the honeycomb sweater in the bright dalia (says waitlisted, but shipped) and the no. 2 pencil in the bright blue color. I added an enamel argyle bracelet to get free shipping. I will probably return one of the two pencil skirts, but I couldn't decide on the color.

  86. Thanks Clicquot! Academia can be a bit conservative esp when one is teaching 19 year old boys..but I might get it for evening wear

  87. My order that I placed yesterday morning, ~7:30 EST, shipped yesterday! JC always is great with shipping, but this is record fast. Very impressed!

  89. Ema - thanks, I wondered if that was the case... still cannot find which color is on sale but that is probably for the best!

    Carol - thank you so much, just put my order through! Very excited that a cami is not needed.

    Also thank you to everyone about the ebates heads up, I had never used that before but considering all of the online shopping I have been doing latey, that is SO helpful!

    Off topic but Piperlime is 20% off all day today... they rarely do coupons and I am having a heated debate with myself over new denim vs new boots.

    ReplyDelete
  90. Perfesser - I have links to irl pics of 9 bloggers in the double serge pencil skirt in this post. Keyword search the skirt & you'll see them. I know AppGal is a teacher of h.s. students and she looks professional in the vibrant flame. Fit will be the key, but I don't think there's stretch in the double serge wool like there is in the spring offerings. Less chance to end up w/it too tight. At least imo. I'm sure there are those that find a way to va-voom it if they want.

    Stene - The Ebates are paid quarterly. Pyts just went thru today, but I don't know what the cutoff date is. They may cut off earnings a week or two before issuing pyt. I never think too hard about it and it's a nice payback when it comes around.

    Lia - I know! My order shipped very quickly as well.

  91. I was thinking of ordering two items just this morning but I just took a walk in sandals, shorts and a favorite J.Crew tank. I think it is best to hold out and wait for an even better sale:) I won't be wearing my winter items for a while still! Tomorrow is in the 70's. Love NC weather.

    Happy to read about other peoples great buys:) Congrats!

    ReplyDelete
  92. Perfesser- I too teach college freshman and wear J Crew's pencil skirts all the time in class. I think the only reason to maybe be concerned is if you are on the tall side. Some of the spring/summer skirts tend to get shortened to only 20" and that can be a lot of leg to show if you areanywhere over 5'8". Otherwise, I think they are totally work appropriate, and feature them a lot on my
    blog . In fact they are a wardrobe staple for me!

    ReplyDelete
  93. Stopped by my B&M last night and purchased the Perfect Shirt in Royal Paisley and the Colorblock Minimalist Mockneck in Navy/Eggplant. I tried on the HoneyComb Sweater but did not like the feel of it, it felt sticky to me. Also the bottom was bagging just from trying it on. The Mockneck is 100% Merino Wool, even the SA commented that it will hold up better. I asked about the 25% off $150 and she checked and they said that they would honor it. So with the 20% off sweaters I got some sweet deals.

  95. I have a major complaint about JCrew and shipping. I live in Denver and my shipping is consistently horrible. I placed an order last Friday and I still haven't received a shipping confirmation yet. I typically get one about 2-3 days after I place my orders. Then my package is dropped off at UPS about 2 days after that. I don't receive my packages until about a week or so later. All of my packages seem to ship out of Salt Lake City (not too far away from Denver). It kills me to hear about how fast east coast shipping is. JCrew, please ship my packages faster!!!!

  96. lizzi43 - I live in Fort Collins and have the same problem! I ordered a Majesty Peacoat with this promo on Monday. Got my shipping confirmation late last night, but as you said, UPS never gets it until at least a day, usually 2 days, later. I'm keeping my fingers crossed I get the coat before I go to Chicago next week, as I could certainly use it for that trip! I have no idea why the west coast warehouse/shipping would be so much slower, but it sure is!
