Nothing was noted as final sale but when I tried to return it was told it was final sale. My argument was it does not say final sale on the invoice I had, so to me that is what counts not what is in the computer. They always used to have a * and a note item was Final Sale. If J Crew has changed their procedure then it is their receipt vs. their computer. I was able to return the item with the usual 'one time, only'. As an aside the swimsuit was from 2011, so have no clue where it came from or where it ended up.JRSConiferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03267439414300795711noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1317882250647868056.post-22326896169604384662013-11-12T21:56:14.856-05:002013-11-12T21:56:14.856-05:00whole thing with promos, price adjustments, buy/re...whole thing with promos, price adjustments, buy/return, is a depressing reminder of Nana's tales of dealing with WW II ration stamps - will this be enough, what will be left, what about next week.

I tried returning something recently, not remembering it was final sale, and was told that it was final sale. They have that info in the computer system but as far as I can tell don't print it on the invoice any more. Please someone correct me if I'm wrong. I questioned my memory and dug out some older invoices and they did have Final Sale printed on the bottom half, so at some point J. Crew was doing it. Not sure when/if they stopped. So I think they will see it is final sale when you go to return it, but they might cut you a break and let you return it, if you're lucky. Good luck!catehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17121234545386465542noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1317882250647868056.post-23047718639698019632013-11-12T19:08:37.948-05:002013-11-12T19:08:37.948-05:00OT: I rarely return anything 'final sale' ...OT: I rarely return anything 'final sale' from an online order, but since i am not sure now if I want to keep the cafe capri antique floral pants I bought, I might want to return it within the 60 day window.<br /><br />Will the packing receipt indicate 'final sale', anywhere?

To be honest it seems a bit of a stretch. I mean, we all know the difference between sale and a promo. In my opinion it isn't supposed to work online either but for some reason they don't have the capability or the willingness to change it.<br />It doesn't hurt to try though and you could luck out but I think that it is pretty well enforced across the board.Emahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08331051805268660458noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1317882250647868056.post-3230955192395155582013-11-12T17:59:56.693-05:002013-11-12T17:59:56.693-05:00Unknown - If you run into an SA who will not apply...Unknown - If you run into an SA who will not apply the extra % off to a promo item in-store, ask them to place an online order for the item and have it applied. Once they see that the promo item is indeed eligible for the extra % off, they may go ahead and apply it to your in-store purchase. (In my experience, most SAs are just not aware that the promo item does get the extra % off, but do allow it once they realize the item is eligible). If not, then you will at least get your item with the extra discount from the warehouse and 60 days to return instead of 30.

Apparently if this was tge memo, they didn't get it. I think corporate should have a better way to communicate promos at least to the stores, if not to the clients. Maybe they should go back to a radio system with loud speakers that broadcast the promos, a global version of the famous loud speaker that Mickey uses at corporate.<br />I had two different experiences today. This morning at my Crewcuts store they were applying the 25% off but not the 30% off sales. Since it is a store where they rarely have a sale section and they didn't seem to have any idea of what I was talking about, they called another store and were told that the % off sales had ended. Bummer but at least they applied the 25% off. I refused to buy the item on sale with the 25% off because they told me it would be fs (I know it wouldn't be because if they don't scan a % off fs coupon there is no final sale but I just didn't want to buy it for a price that was higher than it would have been two days ago in another store). Then this afternoon I went to the other store and they were advertising the 25% but not the 40% off. I just can't get past the fact that if I go to different stores I get different promos and attitudes (like in the Crewcuts store I always pass as the crazy lady who makes up promos).<br />It is just too complicated to follow and leaves a bad taste especially if you got something and you find out that you could have gotten a better deal if you happened to be in another store.Emahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08331051805268660458noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1317882250647868056.post-57442575960498880702013-11-12T17:21:55.277-05:002013-11-12T17:21:55.277-05:00Unknown - You're welcome. :) The sales associa...Unknown - You're welcome. :) The sales associates should watch out because if corporations could out source in-person service via Skype or something, they probably would. Can you imagine going to a store & being helped by computers? lol Anyway, so far in-person service cannot be outsourced and I wish employees would appreciate that more. Be thankful for the job & do the best you can each day! Take a moment in the stockroom in between tough transactions. <br /><br />I think whoever is in charge of promos at J Crew should consider simplifying them going forward. Maybe they think we're more enticed by 30% + 25% off in-store. I'd rather it just be a straight 40%. It makes the math easier to do in my head. The promos are confusing from both sides of the register and I can see how employees are frustrated as the rules change every few days.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06119918515498248436noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1317882250647868056.post-58241400424047983692013-11-12T17:20:11.293-05:002013-11-12T17:20:11.293-05:00This comment has been removed by the author.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06119918515498248436noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1317882250647868056.post-63621006114867406342013-11-12T17:14:09.437-05:002013-11-12T17:14:09.437-05:00It won't let me reply for some reason, but tha...It won't let me reply for some reason, but thanks for the heads up Gigi! I do agree with Cate however, shopping should be way easier ha! At the end of the day, I really wasn't that upset about whether or not I would get an additional discount, it's the fact that my sales associate experiences both in store and on the phone made me feel as if I were a cheapskate and a liar :( I think I was just so caught off guard by having two back to back unpleasant experiences when I'm used to dealing with such sweet people--and not always giving me good news I might add!
