This is the weekly "Other JCrew-like Retailers" post (similar to the "Off On A Tangent"
posts), where we can share our finds from other
retailers that have offerings similar to J.Crew
(like Anthropologie, LE Canvas, Gap, BR, Talbots, Ann
Taylor, and the like.)If you have recently encountered items that are similar to J.Crew, maybe you might be willing to share that information with us in this post.
Please feel free to share your story on almost any topic— including experiences with certain merchandise pieces, promotions/ offers, in-store visits, transactions with store associates, etc.
Does anyone know how often Anthropologie offers free shipping? I want to order something but don't want to pay $10 in shipping. I know you can order things online while in store if the store doesn't have your size in stock, but can you do that with "online exclusive" items? I assume no but I figured I'd ask just in case. TIA!

Typically Anthropologie doesn't offer Free Shipping during its Tag Sale, which runs from now through mid-July. There probably won't be Free Shipping again until August...though Anthro does like to surprise us. :)
DeleteI think Anthro has good customer service, they seem more willing to help out than J.Crew. You can order online only items from the Anthro store - I have not had any issue with that.
DeleteVERY rarely and when they do it usually has a high minimum amount that includes a full priced item. I think Anthro's shipping prices are outrageous and they typically use the US postal service to boot. You should definitely try a store even it's an online only item if you live near one. If you have a newer SA they may not do it but it's a cool SA they will. I usually find the SAs at Anthro to be pretty accommodating. Also check out Roxy's Effortless Anthropolgie blog.
ReplyDeleteSorry meant to reply to twentysomethingsimple re Anthro shipping
DeleteNumerous J.Crew-like items in this post on my blog. Included this week are alternatives for the collection silk maxidress, beaded rose necklace, maya ankle-strap sandals, and city-fit cherry blossom café capri, just to name a few. :)
ReplyDeleteHi!
ReplyDeleteTwo Boden related items...
1. They are running a 30% off everything sale for the next couple of days (started yesterday). This is probably their last sale before the big clearance time comes next week. (Usually Spring/Summer clearance is the first week of July...with second cuts on prices a few weeks later.) This is the time it is best to grab popular items at a better price since Boden is notorious for barely reducing popular items in clearance time on popular colors/items. I laid out more info, etc., here at this post.
2. The Winter 2014 preview rolled out on Friday. I haven't had a chance to do a picks post, but I will be doing one before the 20% off preview code expires on July 1 (it seems very quick this time around!). When I manage to get that done, I will post the link here for you all. But for now, this is the link for the Preview site and use code X7V8 for 20% off with free ship and returns.
