J.Crew sent an email this morning reminding customers that today is the last day they are offering 50% off Final Sale with promotional code EXTRA50.
This sale did exactly what it should have. Items in the sale section have been selling out quickly. As of time of posting, the Sale (click here to shop online) section has 700+ for Women and 420+ for Men. A significant drop from the 1700+ items for Women and 700+ items for Men that we have seen in the past few weeks.
Will you be taking advantage of this promotion? If so, please share!
Off topic...but anyone find that the pale tippis are too sheer? Got one in heather mint ... Love the color but you need to layer and it's hard to do because of the three quarter sleeves. Contemplating a return today...
ReplyDeleteYes...I feel like most of jcrew's stuff is super sheer...but that is for another post. I don't know if this helps...but I layer my light tippis with a tank top (I wear one of the ones with built in bra since I am pretty small up top) or with a long sleeved button down and then roll the cuffs up to meet the sleeve length on the tippi if that makes sense. Hope that helps,
DeleteI pretty much have to make sure I wear solid button downs or tees underneath because of the sheerness. Drives me crazy because some of the prints would look so fantastic layered.
DeleteI really ran into that problem on the baseball Tippi with the jeweled removable collar in gray/white. The white body was so sheer that even a tank top looked bad underneath it. I am still looking for a white long sleeve T that I can wear under it. If anyone has this and has found something that works good I would love to hear about it.
DeleteYup same problem here even with my camel one (or...heather acorn?!). I just wear a smooth tank top underneath. I think you'd have to wear something either white or of a similar color as the tippi/other sheer sweaters if the color is light pastel. I experienced the same problem with the merino side panel vnecks in lilac.
DeleteI wear Uniqlo heattech scoop neck tees (both long and short sleeve) under my tippis and other sweaters, in the color tan/beige to match my skin tone. They're very thin and form-fitting so they don't add bulk underneath.
DeleteMany of those 700+ items are sold out if you click on them, so it's not even that much in sale. I would agree with you that they've cleared out, except I expect to see a big update to sale this week after the 50% promotion is done. I feel like they are playing inventory games. Maybe they will add to the sale section some time today?
ReplyDeleteHi Cate. I am repeating this from the weekend story visit category. Tbere was not much of an update this morning. I was up at 5:25 Eastern and I saw 2 things on my list had inventory where they didn't the day before. It was a very small update so I wouldn't worry that you missed anything. What you wanted probably wouldn't have been in stock anyway is what I like to tell myself when I check later than I had planned. As always, I would go all in on a bet for a big update tomorrow when the promo is over.
DeleteThanks, Shopping Celle. I guess that was it and there won't be an update later today.
DeleteCate-
DeleteShopping Celle right. I was up at 3 am and the site only went from 645 to 827, so a very small update. I'm sure you didn't miss out on anything.
That is small! Thanks Wendy!
DeleteI wanted to order the black studded heel kikis, they were "sold out" at the beginning of the promo, then popped back up in most sizes. Ugh. I ordered, but now they're sold back out. Who knows if they'll pop back now.
DeleteThe sale section has been wiped out of anything worth buying. The only options seem to appear in very small or large sizes or odd colours. Being of average size I'm outta luck. Anything remotely interesting gives me the 'sorry ... sold out' message.
ReplyDeleteI expect to see new arrival tomorrow as a Wallace and Barnes sweater I preordered is hitting stores tomorrow. Luckily my PS allowed me to use the THANKYOU code which gave me 25% off and free shipping over a month before it was released.
I actually got lucky with the overnight restock! The couple of items that I wanted were sold out over the weekend, but this morning there were 6 colors of Tippi back in my size! I got 2! This brings my Tippi/Charley count up to 9 if they both ship. I am still looking for the check boy shirt in my size, but if that never happens, I'm fine with the Tippis for $22.50 each!
ReplyDeleteHas anyone received shipping confirmations for anything that was purchased since the 50% off promo started?
ReplyDeleteMy bar tee shipped,but the other three items of that order didnt.
DeleteMy three other orders havent shipped!
Nope. And I purchased pretty early on Sat morning. I thought all winter items had been shipped back to the warehouse from stores so I might be ok. When I got my order confirmation there were several line items included with the payment info so I can tell four of the items will be coming from stores and I am just waiting for the cancellations. They were basics (tippis, jackies) so I won't be really disappointed just annoyed. Lately it has been taking longer for orders to process. Fingers crossed that something ships soon!
DeleteI ordered right after midnight on the first day (night). The order hasn't shipped yet, and my account reads only "released," which I think only means my card worked.
DeleteI don't know if anybody else has experienced this but I have had a few items lately that we're coming from a store that I never got any shipping notice for. I called cs each time and they were like "oh yeah, your order went through you'll get the shipping notice soon" and then I would get a notice on the same day (or near) that the package arrived...
DeleteI got a shipping confirmation for one item in my order of 4 items. One of the 4 got cancelled. I have no information about the other two items, but seeing as they sent shipping confirmation for only one, I'm not optimistic that anything else will ship.
DeleteI got a shipping confirmation for an afterthought order, no word yet on the mysterious stroke of midnight order.
DeleteThanks everyone for all of the responses. I have placed 3 separate orders for a total of 11 items. The 1st order waa placed shortly after midnight Sat. am. The others on Sunday am and this morning. I just received notice that 1 item from the Sunday am order has shipped. This order was divided into 3 separate charges so it was coming from 3 locations. Sounds like there are lots of issues and I may be lucky to get 1 out of 11 items:)
DeleteOnly 1 item on one of my few orders has shipped. I called today and they said the items are coming from different stores, so there may be a delay in the tracking being updated, and to call if I haven't received my items in 8 business days. I don't know if I have total confidence but I did ask them to check to see if they all looked like they would go through (ie no cancellations expected) and she said it looked OK. Not sure if they can really tell though...
Deletejust got my blahblah tee order cancelled,even though i placed it saturday at 6am:(
DeleteThis really is incompetence!
3 orders, no shipping notices but no cancellations either so fingers crossed. In store today they did honor the 50% off for me so I got the embroidered striped cover-up and a few thing for my husband.
DeleteSpoke too soon- 1 item cancelled (so far...)
DeleteNo. I ordered something for my daughter in the jewelry section. Not shipped yet. I haven't ordered from J.Crew since--well, I cannot remember when it has been so long--anyway I now remember why I stopped!!!! UGH.
Delete3 more pieces are on the way!
DeleteMade an order Saturday morning and got the notice this morning that one item had shipped. Haven't heard about the other three - now I'm worried. I had imagined that since all the sale stuff had been packed up from the stores a couple of weeks ago, that my items would all come from the warehouse. Hmmm...
DeletePlease keep us updated everyone!
I ordered Monday morning and got the shipping confirmation about 2am Wednesday. Both my Tippis shipped, and better yet, they will arrive Wednesday! I couldn't believe how fast, but my order must be coming from a store, I checked the UPS tracker and it's coming from Iowa rather than Virginia. I'm in Minnesota, so that works out in my favor! Hope everyone else is getting shipping confirmations and maybe even unexpected quick delivery!
DeleteOT: Does anyone know when March items will be rolled out? Is it Tuesday or Wednesday of next week?
ReplyDeleteHas anyone received their March Style Guide?
I can't reply directly, but Shopping Celle, I haven't gotten a shipping confirmation for my order either, and I placed it when the promo started.
ReplyDeleteFYI the Eaton centre store in Toronto is doing 50% off. I got them to match the online sale price for the calf hair Etta's (99081) and after the discount they came to $115. Hope this helps someone!
ReplyDeleteI love these shoes, wish they were an inch lower though! I got the calf hair martinas and darbys instead :)
DeleteI'm still considering the boyfriend fatigue jacket in camo and the peasant tops in flowerpatch print and one in black...decisions!!!!
ReplyDeleteAnyone know how the leather bow ankle strap heels fit? I am a 6.5 in Everlys and Valentina's and am hoping they fit the same b/c I snatched up the pale color this morning when a 6.5 popped back. And BTW, I really hate that shoes that aren't in the stores to try on are final sale :( maybe they will let me return if they don't fit...

ReplyDeleteI ordered 3 items, I received a cancellation for one yesterday around noon, and the shipping confirmation for the other two came today (Monday 2/17) at 2:01pm. I placed my order on Saturday 2/15 at 9:00am.
ReplyDeleteai justs got a shipping notification for the Double Cloth Metro Coat.
ReplyDeleteHow can I tell if something is final sale without actually going into the details? Is there an easier way?
ReplyDeleteKimberly Olsen - Three possible answers to your question, which isn't clear.
Delete1) Access your J. Crew email confirmation for your order. The items will be itemized and final sale listed if applicable.
2) Assume that items ending in .99 are final sale. Items ending in .00 are on promo and not final sale. Prices sometimes go back up to full price before getting put on promo again or cut to sale.
3) If you're looking at the sale search page, it won't tell you if items are final sale or not. Yes, you have to click onto the ones you're interested to find out.

DeleteI recently called CS just to be sure that a tippi that I was going to order was not final sale, even though its price ended in .99. (I wanted to buy the sweater in two sizes to make sure I got it right, so I knew one was going back.) The website showed some colors final sale, but not my color; all of them at the same price. The CS rep told me "if the website does not say it's final sale, then it is not final sale". Later on I returned one of them in a store, no problem at all.
DeleteIn short: I would call CS with your item number, just to be sure it's not final sale. Then you can refer to that phone call if you want to return the item and they give you a hard time.
Thanks gigi! Good to know about the .99 final sale pricing rule. Last time I swear they had a way to filter the sale items based on which ones were subject to the additional discount.
DeleteI've had mixed msgs from phone reps about what's final sale. But every time I have tried to return a sale item, as long as it doesn't state final sale on my email confirmation, they haven't blinked an eye and gave me a refund no questions asked. If it doesn't say on the item page and order confirmation, I would say you have a pretty good argument with respect to having them take the return.
DeleteKimberly, all the sale items online are subject to the additional discount-not just the ones that are final sale (despite the language of the promo). In store, promo items are not subject to the additional discount-only the ones that are on permanent markdown. If the item doesn't state it is final sale on the full product page, nor on your order confirmation (they should match), it isn't final sale. HTH :)
DeleteClick here for the ultimate SmAcKdOwN: mirror metallic bow flats - Coach vs. J Crew. This is one of the closest I've ever seen.
ReplyDeleteAlso details inside about how to save 25% off at Coach retail & online. You get a code for each.
I'm so ashamed. I was in my car yesterday and my email dinged when I was 2 blocks from home. Saw subject line in Inbox that said Extra 50% off final sale styles. And yes I did promptly hang a u-turn back to the crib to see what was there for the taking.
ReplyDeleteOh, the humanity.
I have 3 Majesty peacoats in order purgatory. Placed but not released. At about $100 apiece, I could not resist. (Why an extra $10 for Tall sizes? Petite are not any less expensive, are they?)
In my defense, I've been a VERY, very good girl for the whole past year with regard to Crew purchases. In fact I'm shocked no one from the mothership has rung me up to inquire about my well-being, so sharp was the falloff in my order pace and totals. :P
Gray, dark bone and red ... will they ship? Will my excitement die on the vine? Or will I be well turned out in cold weather for the enxt 25 years?
Stay tuned....!
Love the soap opera! Hope no one gets slapped.
DeleteCorrection: both orders are now Released but not Complete. No shipping confirmation received. :-/
ReplyDeleteI have a feeling I will be lucky if one coat ships. Which is fine, as I certainly don't need 3. lol.
i so want to shop but there is nothing left!
ReplyDeleteDoes anyone have experience with the collection cashmere basketweave baseball tee (pullover sweater really) item 1915a ? My preferred colour of heater acorn seemed to sell right out while there are all sizes left of the grey and navy. Is this an item that re-stocks?
ReplyDeleteThanks :-)
Hi sunny - IMO, this one will pop back. It looked so cute in the catalog image, but IRL the heather acorn was not a good color for me at all. I bet there will be returns - it's not going to be a color for everyone.
DeleteHeather acorn. Not heater. Lol.
ReplyDeleteYou guys are making me nervous about my order. Gonna light a candle and burn some incense. The scent of Order Fulfillment & Shipping. Now that's a 3rd party item I'd buy at fp.
ReplyDeleteMan, I should have bought that! Though it would have been a ridealong for the Majesty peacoat in Navy that just got canceled so I wouldn't have it anyway!
DeleteIf any JCAWWFIFY officers spot a Navy Majesty Peacot in a 0, would you be so kind to email me? May all your orders ship!
I got a shipping email today on the other two items in my order. Maybe the weather was just delaying things a bit. Hope all ships for you guys!
DeleteNew promo LOVE gets 25% off bridal until March 3rd. My wallet is safe as that ship has long sailed.
ReplyDeleteCandle & incense worked! My order shipped in full. Now to light another candle that the correct items are in the box.
ReplyDeleteHAPPYDAY still working for free ship no min at Factory. Will work till 11:59 PST.
ReplyDeleteSince we were talking about trenches, I noticed the Factory trench is epaulet free, which I prefer since I don't have a long neck. The denim jacket is $32.50. I like the stitching on the sides of the buttons, on the seams. And finally, I tried on the polka-dot popver in naples blue awhile back and said meh. I tried it on again recently and know it will have a low cost/wear for me.
Got an email that all my items have shipped too, so I guess that's that (though there's always the chance I'll get the wrong thing). I'm a bit miffed that my Rewards card came AFTER the promo started. I have to figure out what to do with it. Hopefully spring will include some things I really want....
ReplyDeleteCall CS and have them apply it to your order. This can be done after the fact:)
DeleteThis morning they had a ton of stuff on the sale page, plus the Majesty Peacoat I've been stalking. I just will not pay twice as much for this.
ReplyDeleteI have never gone this long without a shipping confirmation. I don't have high hopes for receiving anything I ordered. Oh well. I guess we shall see.
ReplyDeleteJust received my shipping notice for an order placed at 2am EST on the 15th. I was thinking it wouldn't ship because of the long delay.
DeleteNot wanting to get anyone's hopes up. But I have noticed that for orders that I placed online but were fulfilled from stores, I have either never gotten a shipping notice and they just showed up or I got the shipping notice after I received the item. The other bonus I found was that most of the orders shipped from stores shipped UPS-2DayAir.
ReplyDeleteI also just got a shipping confirmation for an order placed at 6am on Saturday! I was getting really nervous..
