It just totally came undone, and is now fraying and has tons of threads. Ugh! I wore it twice.<br /><br />Second, it has gotten quite wintry recently, and I wanted to buy the Sperry Shearwater boots for the snow. I saw them in the catalog and loved them (for snow boots, that is). So I get online to order them, and they have mysteriously disappeared. I chatted with a personal rep and asked her why, and she said that they have been temporarily removed because they are not a part of the current promotion. Yet all of the other 3rd party branded merchandise is still online (including Sperry!).

I searched on the site and voila, after a year of being $98 (while being $85 at Nordstroms and Bloomingdales)it was now marked as $69. Finally a sale! I put them into my Shopping Bag, headed to check out and surprise, surprise - its's ringing up as $98. I ask an online sales rep who says the $69 is for the shoe in a color that isn't even shown at all on the site. Basically, the most misleading sales price ever.

I called a few times and to make the long story short, I never got the package. Apparently there was a 'snafu' in my address so the courier never delivered it and somehow it got returned to JCrew. Not sure why because I received my previous four orders from JCrew without any problems and I have not changed my address.<br /><br />So I demanded free shipment (they were suppose to charge me shipment on the original order). The rep one upped me by saying that they will send it a priority----that was three days ago.<br /><br />So when I called two minutes ago to follow up, a different customer rep could not help me out. Apparently the assistant supervisor is still working it out with the courier about reshipping my suit. <br /><br />Very frustrating.rtfit_jcrewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17792303852463967156noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1317882250647868056.post-25362562883629684192010-12-01T20:47:06.442-05:002010-12-01T20:47:06.442-05:00My TURKEY promo order came today... without one of...My TURKEY promo order came today... without one of the items I ordered.

Early this year I had purchased the merino camp cardigan in that lovely light purple/lavender color: http://gigisgoneshopping.blogspot.com/2010/02/j-crew-merino-linen-camp-cardigan.html<br /><br />I loved it. The color was perfect, it was comfy and wonderful. However, I was folding my laundry one day and somehow it found it's way into my normal wash. I didn't recognize it at first cause it looked like an infant's sweater. Sad sad day. It was literally 2 of my TV remotes in length when I got done with it.

And what is with their shoe sizing? I love JCrew shoes but they rarely fit me right. I just received the Coddingtong suede heels today. Ohh I so want to love them but they fit weird! Tight in the toe box, but i know if I go up a size, the heel will flip off. They barely stay on now. And why won't they post user reviews on their site already? It would make things so much easier. In addition to the usual final sale BS and the free ship codes but only if you spend $150. Come on, I get tired of returning whatever it was to get the amount up to $150. :)Malloryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04349678383179232085noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1317882250647868056.post-80458898063200563782010-12-01T18:36:34.835-05:002010-12-01T18:36:34.835-05:00All summer I lusted after the Jersey Lomellina wav...All summer I lusted after the Jersey Lomellina wave ruffle bandeau top but couldn't justify the price. However, after much website stalking I finally scored it (on sale!) in my size on a popback about a month ago along with the foldover wide-band hipster bottoms. Well, a few weeks ago I finally got a chance to wear it in my friend's jacuzzi and upon getting out the bottoms were completely bleached out, spotty and <i> ruined! </i> None of my other friends suits were messed up, what gives? Well, I immediately contacted J.Crew explaining my situation and asking if there was anything they could do for me as I didn't think that the suit was very high quality (granted, I didn't pay FP but still...) & it's been about 3 weeks and NO RESPONSE. Nada... Well unless you include a call <b> the day </b> after my email reminding me to use my $25 rewards card for being a "valued customer." Really J.Crew? Really? Not even a response to my email but a call reminding me to spend? Yes, I'm upset the suit didn't last but one wear but I am even more upset at the lack of customer service.

@Hexicon: same thing happened ...Long post alert ;)<br /><br />@Hexicon: same thing happened to me. Last year's Beaded Flower Tee: although I looooove the design, the first time I washed it in a lingerie bag on gentle cycle, the pewter finish on the sequins started coming off, and kept coming off after drying. Don't wanna jinx it but the half dozen or so art tees and camis purchased last year still have not developed holes after a few washings each...small consolation but I have to be so careful when putting on, taking off and washing these tees that I haven't bought another one since. I limit myself to just the Perfect tees now. <br /><br />New catalog is not inciting me into a shopping frenzy. At. All. The only things I want are a couple of Jackie twin sets (but not need cos I have 863,324 cardis already). I actually feel sorry for the models who have to stand there with wind blowing in their faces all day long, mouth open suggestively, fighting off the watery eyes, trying to get a good shot...<br /><br />Can't believe they brought back the Featherweight Cashmere Cardi's. Last year's were a disaster. I'm still picking the pills off of mine. <br /><br />$50+++ acrylic sweaters. I can buy that from the local retailers for less money. Up here in Canada, Smart Set, Rietmans and sim. stores have a bunch of "dream" yarn sweaters going for <$35 each.<br /><br />There's nothing I need for myself, and my friends/family don't exchange gifts so I'll be sitting this out till I can hit a B&M, hopefully before Christmas. Of course there are the post-Christmas sales (hands rubbing together). <br /><br />I actually like a few pieces in this mini roll out, but want to see them IRL. As for Ms. Hutton's spread, I quite enjoyed that. Nice to see the old gal still bringing it. But is it just me or does she sound hesitant about wearing tights (de riguer if you're wearing 16" minis). And even she can't convince me sequin sweatpants are cool ;)Closet Crisishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01901050375126195972noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1317882250647868056.post-25267884537408200712010-12-01T12:45:24.494-05:002010-12-01T12:45:24.494-05:00Hexicon: I'm sorry to hear about your tee.
