If
you are stopping
by a J.Crew store this weekend to see
what's available (if
anything!) in the SALE, or to see some NEW ARRIVALS {sigh!} in
person, maybe you might be
willing to share that with us in this
post. In particular, if you could
share with us a few of the
noteworthy items that are available, at
what prices, and potential sizes
the store is carrying (as well
as the store location)- that would be
fantastic!Also, please let us know if your local store is carrying an additional percent off sale. Thanks in advance!!! :)
P.S. I noticed that many of you have already been reporting sale items (and in which stores) in other posts which by the way "thank you!" :) I really appreciate how helpful we are for each other!
Day 5 and my order is still in "released" mode. Haven't received a shipping confirmation. But they sure are bugged that I have stuff in my cart and everyday I get an email asking me if I've "forgotten" something. I want to send THEM an email and ask them if they've FORGOTTEN something!
ReplyDeleteLOL Stray cat!
DeleteStraycat, I would call them and request that they upgrade your shipping method since you have waited so long. I got a package and in it was a Navy Jackie from Spring 13. I called them and requested a new one since it was for a gift and I had ordered one and it was labelled SU 15. So I know they had new ones in the warehouse and asked for the package to be shipped directly to the person and upgrade the shipping method and they did. But when I asked why they were shipping old merchandise, the SA put me on hold for about 5 mins, came back on the line and told me that the date on the label is not the manufacturing season, it is the first time a product is introduced by J Crew. Say what!!!
DeleteJRS I might have kept the 13 Jackie. It was probably better quality than the 15 with the way things have been lately. Although I understand wanting the newer one as it was a gift. And I love the answers we receive from CS. Really,the date tag does not designate the date and season when the item was offered. Come on!!!!
DeleteI received a Fall 13 Jackie and a Spring 12 Tippi (the color block stripe which was full price until last week) :-0
DeleteI have certainly been buying Jackies since before 2013! Recently J Crew shipped my gc refund to the wrong address, and when I called, they told me I wouldn't get it for another 3 weeks. Gotta love CS sometimes!
I still have the original Jackie was waiting to make sure I got a shipping notice for the replacement, before I returned it. I really would not have minded the older one if quality was better, but it was not, plus it looked faded compared to my 15 one. I have no idea where it had been stored, the price tag was old and so was the bag it came in. I got the 12 Tippi too but the shade of green right next to my face not good for me, so it is being returned.
DeleteOT: A follow up on my vent post from earlier this week. I just wanted to give a shout out to NewJCA who suggested that I contact customer service about using my Birthday discount. I did email and they happily applied the discount to a recent order. No scolding, no we will do it one time only etc. Very pleasant exchange and I saved $25. Yay!
ReplyDeleteI'm happy that worked for you! (And belated happy birthday to us!)
DeleteWell they have finally sent my package. If it doesn't come in the 8 days promised I will be calling them. But I suspect they have already sent it by a speedier method....at least that's what they say they do. We'll see!
DeleteHi JCAs. Two new arrival reviews here of the deck stripe tee & iridescent pull-on sequin pants.
ReplyDeleteThere is a great new merino vneck cardi in store (similiar to last years one). Colors are black,papaya,merlot,dark green,denim,a mustardy yellow and navy.
ReplyDeleteFit is TTS
hi...is it cropped or longer length ?
Deletehi...is it cropped or longer length ?
DeleteNeither,it is more of a normal length. Does this make sense?
Delete@inamack
DeleteDo you by chance have the item number? I can't find it on line.
Thank you!
The cardi is not online yet.I am back at the store tomorrow and i get the number for you @wendy
DeleteIt will be evening till i have the number.if you want i can post a pic on my IG tomorrow night. @wendy
DeleteNo rush, Ina! I follow you, so I'll see your pic tomorrow. Thank you! You got me excited, esp when you listed the colors!
DeleteThe cardi is really nice,i have the medium blue (kind of a denim-ish) color on hold in my store:)
DeleteI like the sound of the merlot color.....
Delete@Ina- YAY! Please model as we are the same size! Looking forward to your IG post! Thank you again. Also, is the green like the fresh parsley green? TIA!
DeleteThe geeen is more like the tropical forrest in the jacket,more like a dark green with a blue undertone kind of like spruce).
DeleteI like the sound of the merlot color.....
DeleteOh...I like the sound of spruce. If that color is available in the Tippi and Tippi cardigan this year I will buy it. Emerald is going to be very big for fall this year.....as is merlot. I have a merlot color Tippi set from a few years ago.
Delete@straycat the heather baltic in the tippi is a dark blue-ish green.i like it alot IRL
DeleteAnxiously waiting to see pics of the cardigan! This sounds like it would fill one of the holes in my wardrobe if it works!
DeleteThe stylenumber for the cardi is E0027 and fits exactly like lasts years vneck. The dark green is called dak jade @ straycat.
DeletePics are now up in my IG @inawonderland5 in the colors heather blue and dark jade.
DeleteI saw the Merlot cardigan when in my store this week. I never got any of those cardigans last year and always regretted it. I would be interested to know if the length of the body and sleeves are the same as last year.
ReplyDeleteI will let you know tomorrow and i have last years cardi and will try tomorrow again the new cardi.
Delete@shoppingcelle fits the exact same way as last years cardi.HTH
DeleteA review/IRL pictures of the J. Crew No. 2 Pencil Skirt in Marble Print Happy weekend!
ReplyDeleteThat print is stunning and as usual, you look gorgeous
DeleteDmitri: OMG, thank you SO much!!!! I agree, the print is so gorgeous!
Deletevisited the brand new J Crew Factory Outlet in Vancouver (YVR Airport Outlet ) it is very nice. As far as I could tell .... we will be on par with US prices ( because of our low $ )
ReplyDeleteHave rewards cards gone out? I saw someone in line last week with one but I haven't received mine. My spending has gone down quite a bit.
ReplyDeleteAccording to my credit card statement, it stated that it was mailed on 7/3 and that it would take 4-6 weeks for it to be delivered.
DeleteWhich makes no sense- I assume it wasn't actually *mailed* on 7/3 unless Comenity is still using the Pony Express.
DeleteHaving inside info, I can say it is a pigeon (not express).
DeleteUsually there is an email shortly after the first of the month that gives the amount and a code. Looking at my old emails, it usually is between the 5th and 11th of the month. HTH
DeleteHoo boy! Whoever said that dark teal leather jacket on 75% off sale was awful was right! That jacket is a hot mess. It runs big and made me look like a linebacker! It was heavy and just awful. Bad bad bad. Back it goes!
ReplyDeleteI like the leather jacket on me and will probably keep. The color is gorgeous. Wish it would have worked for you Jruby18!
DeleteIt's possible it might have looked better if I'd have sized down 2 sizes. I got a 6 and it was just enormous on me. I'm usually a 4 in coats and dresses, but sized up fearing it ran small. That was a mistake. I'm glad it worked for you. The color is gorgeous!
DeleteIt didn't work for me either (sad face). I even got an estimate from Superior Leather Repair on the cost of "de-puffing" the shoulders - non-starter (sadder face).
DeleteJRuby, it was me saying that I would not keep it even for free. The sleeves are really bad, and no, I do not think downsizing would work. It is discounted to 15%! original price for a reason. Such a shame, everyone agrees that the leather is gorgeous. My colleague who brought it to work prior to returning it, actually wrote to JCrew about it *she got it for c.$250)
Delete75 bucks for an ill-fitting jacket it's still 75 bucks to expensive (no matter how big a discount), imo.
*too* expensive :)
DeleteIt didn't work for me too. When did we order that WFF, spring time? We both reviewed it and didn't like it. I even ordered two knowing that one might not work out. Even with the correct size on, the sleeves were just bad, and yes, linebacker!
DeleteWhoever designed that...approved and released to production...I would be pissed like Mickey. What a waste of material, labor cost, and money.
Maybe Mora was fired for a reason; yes JCR, can you imagine not only loos of a potential profit, but also straight out loss labor, material. I discussed it with my friends, and we came to a conclusion that *maybe, just maybe* the design was a ok, but something went wrong with the production/quality control? The sample jacket on the model has the drawstrings on the outside of the jacket, yet the ones sold have in on the inside - which they mention in the description.
DeleteThis is what happens when you wanna save on cheaper production side of the business, because this jacket is not the only item that seem different from the sample pictured on the model.
After watching The True Cost last night, it is even sadder that something that is so hideous on so many people even got to production.
DeleteJRSConifer - I have to watch that documentary....
DeleteIt's on on Netflix. Now I can't say...I didn't know.
DeleteI got the jacket and took my smaller of two sizes and I like it, I have broad shoulders anyways so maybe that attributes to a better look? I'm excited to wear it when the weather is cooler.
DeleteHello JCAs! Longtime reader, first time poster (difficulties posting from an iPad). Your posts and reviews are great and I enjoy reading the threads on the blog daily.
ReplyDeleteI had a couple of items from this rollout that I really loved so wanted to share. I received the pleated faux-leather miniskirt item c9160 in the mail Thursday and love it. I tried it on in store and had them order it in tall (it was just a little too short for work in the regular length on my 5'8 frame). It looks great with a tippi, and I expect to wear it with blouses too. The pleats make it ladylike and the material makes it look a little edgy. I would say take the larger of your skirt sizes - I am a 6 in pencil skirts and was an 8 in this for the waist to have room for a blouse.
On the same trip the SA convinced me to try the Gemma pointy-toe flats. I got them in the sparkly fabric and they were perfect. Wore them to work Monday all day with no scrapes, blisters or anything else, they were comfortable, and I got a ton of compliments asking where did I find those shoes. I am a 7.5 W in most shoes, and was a 7.5 in these.
Thanks for the reviews. I was wondering about the sizing for the Gemma flat. Just trying to decide on the color. I'm debating between the glitter and the desert pink, trying to pick the most versatile color.
Delete@maryeb - I think the glitter is very versatile - although I tend to wear animal print flats with everything too. They are glittery but not over the top for work. Am seriously considering a second pair - probably the animal print or black.
DeleteMore 75% off Tippi popbacks today. Got mine in the Vivid Jade which I have been looking at longingly this entire sale. This will be package #5 this week so it better be good :|
ReplyDeleteWas it the tippi cardigan that you got for 75% off? I only see 40% off for popover tippi...
DeleteAhh, no, you're right, sorry! I had just gotten up for a nap when I typed that so I think I must have still been half asleep. It was cheaper than the last one because it was a lower sale price point and I wasn't paying attention. Got that color for 24.99.

ReplyDeleteBig sale update this morning, over 3000 items in Women's. Final Sale, though, too bad.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the post, Cate I wasn't even going to look at the sale section! I caught the Harper tassel mules in my size finally. They didn't get marked final sale on the payment screen although they were on the product page. They came to $44 with the code. I have the regular Harper mules in black and have worn them to death.
DeleteOh, good deal! And lucky about no final sale. My items stayed final sale in the cart.
DeleteBusiness Insider published yet another article on J Crew on why it is alienating its customers, and suffering dearly for it.
ReplyDeleteIt also references a letter written by a customer, who has created a website. She is very articulate and expresses everything that JCAs have been saying. Not sure if it is OK to post that link, so I won't but the article references the website to read the entire letter. Love the old catalogs she has on the site...
Delete@JRSConifer, exactly. My guess was that if someone was interested in reading the article, would find the link to the website from there.
Deletehttp://www.howtofixjcrew.com
DeleteThis is the letter written to J Crew in its entirety.
This comment has been removed by the author.
DeleteThe amount of air time this is getting - in social media and traditional media - has got to be a huge embarrassment to Mickey. And Jenna. It's to the point that it is threatening his retail legacy. C'mon listen already! There are obviously many J Crew fans outside the JCA community who are seeing the same things and feeling the same way.
DeleteDo any of you know of any other retailer that got so much attention and input (**unsolicited advice**) from its customers?
DeleteThis goes to show how much love there is for JC .. all rooting for it to find its north star.
Sorry, but I almost stopped reading after "I am digital marketing professional". Nice, so very good points, but not great. How about the increasing price point for inferior quality? The stuff is flying off the shelves at the current additional 75% off. The point about the guy from Madewell? We don't even know how much JCrew will be influenced by Madewell, if any. Meh.
DeleteNot accidentally the 75% off started of when the letter hit the web, just like the "5days sale" immediately after that VP's instagram disaster.
Sorry for errors/typos. Need to stop by a store to make some returns from the latest sale. 2 cashmere sweaters from spring 14! look like they were hidden in someone's backside for that year and a half. Ridiculous. And I do not even care that the sale was final.
DeleteI do wish you luck....as for my previous experience with FS....I have not had any success. Let us know what happens. C
Deleteinteresting....the sales coming just after big media faux paus. I miss Jenna. like where is she ?
DeleteI liked the letter....sort of a tribute to the J Crew of old. C

DeleteThanks, all! Heres to hoping the brand listens! Yours, Eliza (the writer behind howtofixjcrew.com ) :)
DeleteChino shorts were 30% off in my store today! South hills mall in Pittsburgh, PA area. This was combinable with the 20% off cardholder promo. I looked at both 3 and 4" and ended up getting the olive 3". Also picked up the navy embroidered tunic tee, C5159, at 78 + 20% off using my card for 62.40. The website lists it at that 78 price point but the shirts in my store had it priced at 98 so I guess it must have been lowered at some point. Took my normal size, it's loose fitting but intentionally so and seems TTS. I ended up going in because my mom was up visiting and wanted to pick through the clearance, she found a polynesian floral embellished tank and size 6 was still in stock online for anyone still looking.
ReplyDelete@howtofixjcrew: I stand up and applaud your point of view. Hallelujah. I hope Mickey listens.
ReplyDeleteThanks @pansy! Yours, Eliza :) --- the writer of howtofixjcrew.com
DeleteI didn't go to the store but received an order that was on "released" mode forever :) Item CO777 /pleated mid skirt in navy /poly/lined/pockets /ordered my regular size. Surprising love ...definitely worth stalking!
ReplyDeleteI noticed in my emails this morning that Gilt City has another 30% off your purchase at Jcrew Factory. With the current 50% off their might be some pretty good deals...
ReplyDeleteAny word on when the fall line-up will be on the web site? I mean the stuff shown at Fashion Week in February -- that sequined blazer, for instance.
ReplyDeleteNot sure about that specific item, but an SA told me another rollout hits stores in 2 1/2 weeks...
DeleteThanks. There is SO much I want from that show -- the gray skirt with pink and black trim, that weirdo feathered skirt, all the skirts. Hopefully the prices are not ridiculous.
DeleteCancan - Oh count on prices to be ridic. Most of the stuff they show are collection pieces. There are some stuff I liked as well, and I can't wait...
DeleteSeptember is usually J.Crew's big roll-out, kind of like Vogue's September issue; it signals the start of Fall season. :)
It usually takes a month for the next roll-out; and since the last one was the 21st of July, we have two more weeks till the 18th of August.
Yeah, to be honest, Collection is pretty much all I've bought from JC in the last few years -- everything else is so boring. My hope is that all of the discussion in the media regarding how J.Crew is overpriced for its quality will mean prices have been adjusted downward, or at least not too much upward. A girl can dream ...
DeleteVote - which was the biggest flop of the season?
ReplyDelete1) the Abbott slides (print, sequin and regular)
2) the metallic swimwear - all six pieces languishing in the 75% off section
Other suggestions?
Cousy, hahaha. I do own the abbot (in black), 2 pairs and ...I like it! I got bad blisters after the first wear, but they fit me great after stretching (I have a narrow foot at 8.8-9). I would never bought them for $78, however.
DeleteAs for the orange ones. Yeah, a flop.
I bought 2 JCrew swimwear in over 10 years. I simply prefer other brands, nothing against jcrew's swim per se.
ha, I had the Abbot slides (in pink) in my cart about a dozen times this Summer and kept taking them out.
DeleteThat metallic swimwear I kind of thought would be a dud right out of the gate.
Just received an order...
Delete1. new matchsticks...I will have to size down in classic rinse and size up in the Lombard (order ..just to try new fit )
2. shiny puffer jacket in cranberry (popback) runs HUGE
3. lurex / white metalic pop over....runs big...returning. not a love.
4.calf hair cyprus sandals...must have got a lemon. calf hair all frayed on left shoe !
5. Isla sandals...like/love
6.zig zag popover in blue,white and black. love. keeping all three
some odds and ends like a t-shirt or two and jewllery that shipped separately. and i will return....no love...I won't keep. thank god for no final sale as CS just hates me.. C
The biggest flop for me was the Cyprus sandals. I got the white ones on sale in the store for about $25.00. They were very slick and I figured I'd end up breaking my neck the first time I wore them, so I spent another $26.00 having non slick soles put on at the cobbler. Well.....stupid me. I wore them and sure they were not slippery, but I got huge painful blisters from *ELL on both feet. Like the worst blisters I've ever had. GRRR!!! I've only owned a couple pairs of J. Crew shoes and they have all been ill fitting, poorly made and just not worth the pain and money. Never again.
DeleteCyprus - one of the biggest disappointment. Very pretty, hardly comfortable. Got 3 pairs very early on a great sale. Two week later returned 2 unworn pairs, and stopped obsessing about them.
DeleteAlso, I noticed black and brown were hidden for a few weeks (because they were selling the best, other colors not s well). Stupid manipulations. Now my friend said she wouldn't not buy them even though she wanted it really bad (black, brown) just for that reason alone.
Nothing special about J. Crew shoes. I never even look at them. Had a pair of Cece I got for 30 bucks once and they killed so they only were worn a few times.
DeleteI haven't read any reviews on the COLLECTION DENIM PAJAMA SHIRT-JACKET ($298.00 item C5440), just sayin'… (be the first to write a review).
DeleteHa ha ha ha. Sometimes I really feel like J. Crew is punking us. How did that one get to production? So bizarre. So not "undeniably polished."
DeleteLOL! I'm peeved that the only thing I wanted from the last rollout sold out on back order and is no longer on the site. Talk about bad business. I'm sure by the time it ships and people return it, I'll have forgotten all about it. Sigh.
DeleteUnknownAugust 3, 2015 at 8:10 PM:
DeleteCan you tell me the fabric content of the Class Rinse Matchsticks?
LilyBart, I have the classic rinse matchsticks (E0079) right here - returning them to the store today. Fabric content is 91% cotton, 6% polyester, 3% elastane. Fit was good, TTS for me, but due to the polyester in the fabric, I'm returning them.
DeleteJust received one of my many orders from the 75% off sale; almost all were in pretty good shape with the exception of the pair of espadrilles I received today. The box was actually taped together with scotch tape not lie, not to mention it was very badly damaged with a half missing barcode. Luckily the shoes weren't damaged but it should never have been allowed to leave the store ( because no doubt that's where it came from) in that condition. Also received a very wrinkled dress and skirt ( neither was damaged but a little more care could have been taken to ensure that I received neatly folded items. Come on SAs a little more care in how you handle products that people are paying for would be nice! Just saying.
ReplyDeleteYou would think that since the stores are pretty much empty they would have some extra time to steam some clothes!! Just sayin'...
DeleteJust had a $25 off $125 Madewell purchase pop up in my Amex offers, FYI! Think it is a targeted offer so take a look if you've got Amex.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the heads up, I see it listed in my offers too.
DeleteOT....good news for Canadians ! borderfree starts tommorow. we will be able to do returns to our ( Can) J Crew stores or returns for $18 . now if we can get good promos etc....we ( I ) will be shopping more.....
ReplyDeleteSeriously?! That is good news. Although judging by things I have found on sale racks that were never in our stores, I believe *certain* customers have been allowed to return internet purchases to stores for some time... I assume (cynically) that this move is because some of us have stopped shopping JC online completely since the dollar's drop.
DeleteWhat / ? certain customers ? I have not been granted that ?????
Deleteyes...seriously. it is good news for me at least ....the return to stores will save me $$ and I will order more to try . esp jewellery.
DeleteHmmm, I wish I could say I'm happy about "borderfree" starting. I'm really quite bummed that they will no longer accept J Crew credit cards for on-line purchases in Canada anymore. How will I earn my rewards cards? Which they also will not accept for on-line purchases anymore! I'm in Canada but don't live anywhere near a Canadian J Crew store, so won't benefit much, if at all, from this change. :-(
DeleteThe vests finally got discounted a bit- $86!
ReplyDeleteHas anybody purchased the new Tippi? I did, and I am hoping my experience is a one-off. The fit looks different, the arms are longer (which is ok with me) but they are super tight, even after sizing up one. I measured it against an old Tippi and the sleeves are about one inch narrower. I am now headed to the website to buy up the whole stock of old Tipis, which no doubt will be from 2012. Please tell me I'm the only one!
ReplyDeleteNevermind, I should have read the reviews. Sad face.
Delete@anthro blogger i love my new tippi!
DeleteFun article about 10 J.Crew secrets from an associate of 2 years http://somethingserendipity.weebly.com
ReplyDeletesecrets? hardly. she needs to revise her "facts" - I am referring to no.1 and 2.
DeleteThat article needs less f-bombs and more spell check.
DeleteI don't know ....blog says she is studying bio chem eng. at Duke!
DeleteAhem, a college student should have a better grasp of spelling. But perhaps I am a "trophy mom", so what would I know. (What is that, exactly? The unholy union of a trophy wife and a soccer mom?)
DeleteI agree, I figured I must be really old since I never heard that term before. LOL.
DeleteOT review of the new Jackie in lightweight wool (also on the JC website):
ReplyDeletePerfect (almost) cardigan
I own several cotton Jackies and love them so had to order these. And they don't disappoint!! Bought them in black, navy and warm sepia (more of a beautiful rust color than on the website) yesterday and already wore the black one last night when we had dinner in an overly AC-ed restaurant. I love the lightweight merino wool (14 gauge, just like the Tippi sweaters). Wool also has the advantage of the color not fading like cotton will inevitable do. I love that grosgrain ribbon is used which will ensure it will keep its shape (which is why I chose the Jackie over the Tilly). I love that I can and will wear this year round. The cardigan would have been absoloutely perfect had the buttons not been gold. I was expecting them to be the same color as the cardi, just like on the cotton Jackies. However, I'll just have them changed, so not really an issue. Runs small, just like the cotton Jackie, so I sized up.
Thank you for this lovely review. I've been eyeing this new version of the Jackie for a while and will buy a few after reading your review. Yeah, the gold buttons is not the best feature, but like you said, it can be changed.
DeleteThank you for the review! I have been thinking about that warm sepia cardigan . . .
DeleteWendy, Carmencatalina, HTH !!
DeleteA new review! Check out the green iridescent sequin dress.
ReplyDeleteThanks for this! Since there is an additional 30% off, and it is already (?!) on sale, I went ahead and ordered it. Fingers crossed!
Deletecarmencatalina - Not final sale, so that's good. Good luck!
DeleteYep, just regular sale - I ordered 2 sizes, because I'm sort of between sizes right now. We will see!
DeleteBorderfree has started for Canadians online and I am so mad right now. We were told the prices (now in cdn $) would be in line with Canadian stores but they are not. Everything in my cart has increased in price overnight by different percentages from 20% to almost 30% increases. I saw some of these items in a Canadian store and they were not the prices now reflected online. I get that we are seeing Canadian dollars now; however, the prices are higher than Canadian store prices so the explanations we were given were untrue.
ReplyDeleteFor example, the new Marble Top was $128 in a Canadian store which was still more than the $110 in U.S stores however it is now $160 online. That is ridiculous for a poly top. I can't believe this is the change we are getting.
I think some items are the same pricing as Cdn stores - I have seen he textured eyelet jacquard dress and Sloan suede d'orsay flats at the exact same prices in store as now show online. They probably made mistakes on a few items.
Deletemore items available on US sale site than Can. prices once you convert $$ is all depending on item. all over the place. I will be doing the Math !
DeleteWow. The price differences on some items are astounding. The double cloth lady day coat is $200.00 more on the Canadian site. Looks like my jcrew online shopping will be even less. I also noticed that there are fewer items available on the Canadian website. In particular, the US sale section currently has over 2900 items while the Canadian sale section has just over 1300 items. I am not impressed with this change at all.
DeleteI know of at least 10 items that are quite a bit more than the Canadian stores so it appears they are not following the explanation that some were emailed when they asked about Borderfree before it began. We were discussing this last week on jca and I recall feeling happy about the email response some had received and posted in the thread. If anyone has the email they were sent in regards to pricing they should send it to cs for an explanation.
DeleteI did a quick comparison on a few items and found the prices were in-line with what they were charging on the US side (including exchange at 25%). Looked at Bowery slims my go to pant at $110 for us and $88 for our American friends. Pretty much the same considering the ugly 25% exchange rate.
DeleteWhere it was more interesting was with the shirts. A button down I'm looking at getting is $79 something US; multiply by 1.25 and it's $118 while the CDN site shows it for $116.
I really don't understand how this whole thing is going to work; or possibly not work. Does this remind anyone else of the gigantic mess they had about 7 years ago with their website? Hopefully these are growing pains only and soon all will be resolved and corrected.
I also noticed that the current style guide has no prices in it; but the US one does (along with many more pages and items we don't). Poor Canadian shoppers; we're second class again.
@Shima Maceo- that is insane re: the lady day coat price difference. As for much less sale items on the Canadian site I see that some sale items in the US are now back to regular price for canada. ie 7" chino shorts are now $60 cdn for all colors but some colors are still on sale plus extra % off in the US. The sale colors were on sale for canada yesterday (I guess I should have bought then) but today all are up to full price.
DeleteAs a credit card holder, I received something in the mail which informed me that I will not be able to use my J Crew card for online purchases anymore! And also won't be able to use rewards cards on the Canadian site. I am not impressed. Ever since they opened stores in Canada, the online experience has gotten worse and worse IMO.
DeleteThe more I look at the canadian site and the price differences the angrier I am getting. The new polka dot tipi sweater is 118$ usd and the canadian website is selling it at 172$ cdn. That is almost a 50% price increase and way more than the current 25% exchange rate. Jcrew must either not care about canadian online sales or think we are pretty stupid. I will be interested to see how the online pricing compares to the in-store pricing. Jcrew is not doing themselves any favours in improving sales with this change in the Canadian website.
DeleteUnless I'm off here it appears that the factory site is all in US prices.
DeleteWhy would J.Crew change but leave factory the same? This things seems to get stranger and stranger.
I'm curious to hear about anyone's experience ordering now that we've switched. I am apprehensive will cautiously wait to see how this all plays out.
