"Thanks!" to Mary who shared with us that Banana Republic sent an email (click here) announcing that they are having their Fall sale with up to 40% on items (in-stores and on-line).

just got a free shipping email from jcrew- use code AUTUMN for FS over $150
ReplyDeleteI got this email from BR and checked out the site...it appears that the prices are marked down to about the same as if you had purchased with the extra 30% off, only now the sizes are more limited and there isn't any free shipping for non-cardholders...apparently a common practice among retailers.
ReplyDeleteFFM, BR (and gap, etc) only charges $7 for standard delivery, regardless of amount - a far better deal than when J.Crew extorts $14.50 to ship one cashmere sweater :-)
ReplyDeleteI much prefer companies like BR and Nordstrom that charge a flat rate over J.Crew's shipping charges, which I think are absurd. Of course, nothing beats free shipping ... :-)
la belle helene: I completely agree with you! I LOVE the flat rate shipping, PLUS GAP/BR/ON now have FREE RETURN SHIPPING, too! :)
ReplyDeleteFFM, Free return shipping rocks, I agree! Because that can run up a pretty penny, especially if one orders shoes. It's also why I love Zappos - plus they ship things overnight, even when standard delivery is chosen. Zappos, to me, defines flawless shipping. I wish they'd take over shipping J.Crew's orders :-)
ReplyDeleteI would order SO much more from JC if they had better shipping rates... or just a flat rate like everyone else!!! Our store has really limited merchandise and I have a young toddler, so online shopping can really get me in trouble because it's so much easier and a great selection ... but when I get to JC's checkout and shipping is like 10-15% of my order total, it doesn't make sense, even with extra 20% off final sale!
ReplyDeleteLindsey: I completely agree. Not to mention the amount of time they take to ship your order. It says 3 days on paper, but you know you're going to be waiting 4-5 days. I don't understand why they charge so much either. Not to mention that I also get taxed.
