Kamantha in dc (in the post "J.Crew Free Shipping Offer & Fall (Not Final) Sale") was kind enough to share with us some free shipping codes she found online (and I really do appreciate it!) :) The codes included promo code TRICKORTREAT and promo code BOOO for $100+ orders; and CANADA for $150+ orders in Canada.
Unfortunately, those codes do NOT work. I do n0t think they have been released by J.Crew yet (which is why they are not working right now). I think they will be released by J.Crew relatively soon though (maybe in a day or two). :) (Although, now that they have been mentioned pre-release, who knows!) ;)
Also, "thanks!" to Vivi (in this post) who shared with us the following about promo code RCLK: "I tried using RCLK earlier today, and it was not working online. I called J.Crew, and they informed me the coupon can only be applied by a call center representative."

RCLK doesn't work anymore. Fail.
ReplyDeleteLauren...I know...just tried to check out with my Maggie coat and RCLK no longer works:( Thank goodness for the other codes...
ReplyDeleteHi Guys! Vivi shared with us in another post the following about the RCLK code: "I tried using RCLK earlier today, and it was not working online. I called J.Crew, and they informed me the coupon can only be applied by a call center representative."
ReplyDeleteI'm sad RCLK isn't working anymore - that would cover shipping for me on most orders! It was good while it lasted.
ReplyDeleteI tried using Justask last night for free shipping, and it either is no longer working or just doesn't work for orders to Canada. Given how low our dollar is right now, it's probably a good thing!
ReplyDeleteUggh! This sucks! I was hoping that code would stick around for a while. Now its gone too. I am now really torn as to what to do as I had pretty much a whole order goofed up from last Saturday. 2 items "cancelled" and one just hanging as "open". I contacted my rep days ago and no reply yet. I had to re-place my 2 cancelled items and they are coming today, but the heels I have in limbo since last week are still not shipping. I am now really stuck as if I order them, I am now missing the 10% off code that I used and run the risk of them actually coming anyway if someone is working on it. Frustrating. Reason I am freaking is that I bought the matching purse and the heels don't really make sense to me without it and I really do love the way they look online. Anyone else out there find it easier to just flat out reorder an item than have CS deal with getting it? In my experience, that department makes it seem like its a big operation to have an item shipped if its in stock in reality, like a big covert operation or something!!! I had waited for a necklace for over a month already that I probably should have just re-ordered rather than wait for them to ship. Sad they are still dealing with these glitches and even sadder the customers have to waste time and stress over small stuff like this. Anyway, glad to see there are more codes on the horizon, they help with the new catalog coming out.
ReplyDeleteI hope BOO starts to work, I'd love a free shipping code with a $100 min!!!
ReplyDeleteGuess I jinxed myself because now I cannot even add items to my cart online. Seems many items in sale section are goofed up as well and things that are not on sale popping up out of the blue. I hate when they decide to work on this stuff on a Friday morning. Anyone else having issues this morning???
ReplyDeleteI was wondering if the $100+ free shipping code would work for a item that is $99.99 before tax and s&h is taken into account?
ReplyDeleteAnon at 9:56 AM: Unfortunately, the free shipping applies to the amount before shipping or tax is applied.
ReplyDeleteI have been in your situation so many times before (with J.Crew, the Gap, and the like when shopping online)!!! :) Where all you need is a penny or two to get the free shipping, and of course, there is nothing being offered on sale for a penny! ;)
Thanks. The item I really wanted was on sale for $99.99 but I guess now I will wait till I have something more to purchase:( Do you by any chance know if Jcrew will have another 20% off w/ a PS appointment? If so, when?
ReplyDeleteFREESHIP expired. Just tried to use it for the Andie bag in charcoal and it didn't work. Fortunately, I was able to use J27L34S since my order was over $150.

ReplyDeleteI might sound paranoid, but I wonder if JCrew would give Alexis a "tip" about codes just to see the effect of this blog on their customer base? I really wonder how many people used "justask" in the few days it was available? (I sure did.)
ReplyDeleteWe know someone there reads this blog b/c they've responded to Alexis before.
Just a thought...
My friend used RCLK last night, so that must be when it ended.
ReplyDeletess: Oh how I would love "tips" from J.Crew! :)
ReplyDeleteAlas nothing is what I have received so far. I have even asked J.Crew for any news like emails on store openings and the like, to share with the blog, and I never got any.
The only information I receive is from the kind members of this blog, and the associates on the floor (who are kind enough to share their insights on policies and the like). :)
OT, but- I just saw Michelle Obama on TV wearing the abstract rose print dress!!!!
ReplyDeleteOMG! Really??? Was it the strapless or the suiting abstract roses dress?

ReplyDeleteAlexis,
ReplyDeleteI didn't meant that I thought JCrew was sending you these codes directly. I meant, someone at JCrew could easily "anonymously" tip this blog a code to see how many people use the codes that show up here.
I just find it strange that the code was not in email or catalog form (as far as I know). Then "Michael" showed up here, stirred the nest, and the code lasted maybe 5 days. Then other in-store SAs have codes too? I have never received a code from customer service or in-store, but that's just my experience. Usually the customer service just applies the discount and doesn't tell me "oh with this code you get free shipping." But maybe that's just me.
I think releasing a code would be an easy way to see how widespread shoppers codes go. For example, I go on makeupalley all the time for codes. People see codes here and post there as well--and vice versa.
In good news, yesterday I received a shipment that was short one pair of pants (I ordered a bunch of the same pants, just in different colors and sizes). I emailed about it, and they're sending them to me separately (free shipping, of course), AND they noticed that the pants had been reduced in price, so they gave me a credit for all of the pairs! I hadn't even noticed the price drop!
ReplyDeleteIf Obama wore that dress, I guess I'll be burning mine!
ReplyDeleteI love how jc puts coupons out there, just to yank it back when they, uh, see it on this board. Why don't you privatize that part of the board? Like, get everyone's email address and circulate them that way. It seems like everytime there's a deal, loophole, or something good going on, everyone blabs about it and then the deal is dead. It kind of sucks that big brother can't keep their eyes off this blog!
ReplyDeleteI don't think this blog has anything to do with when codes are revoked by J.Crew. Just because they don't announce an expiration date doesn't mean one doesn't exist. If that was the case, RCLK and JUSTASK wouldn't have worked for as long as they did. J.Crew would have just revoked them as soon as they noticed the code had been leaked.

ReplyDeleteTo the anonymous who said that if Obama wore that dress, you're burning yours - please do. Maybe you can burn all your clothes and go on a shopping spree a la Sarah Palin, or maybe you can take the political attitude out of the clothing blog. Either way is fine with me. :)
ReplyDeleteI don't know...that's a tough call about the codes..J Crew clearly doesn't want them advertised to the masses (why? I don't know..doesn't it equal more business??!) They pulled their coupons from retail-me-not and won't allow postings on coupon websites so this is no diferent..IMO.
ReplyDeleteKitchy, I couldn't tell- it was a short clip and she had a cardigan on over it. :)
ReplyDeleteHey 5 tomatoes, no need to throw one of your tomatoes at someone who has a different opinion as you do.
ReplyDeleteI think both women dress very well, and that your reply is certainly contradictory w/your views that this should not be a politial blog.
Remember PATT: Pledge Against The Trolls.
ReplyDelete^tsk,tsk ladies
ReplyDelete...which means...ignore, ignore, ignore
ReplyDeletegigiofca- don't stir the pot some more...just walk away!
ReplyDeleteI used RCLK this morning and it worked just fine. Sorry to hear it hasn't worked for you ladies.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the new codes Alexis! Love this blog!
If Michelle Obama dresses herself, she has impeccable taste and great style. Kudos to her. And I love the fact that she accomplishes it wearing clothes from retailers like J.Crew and that Black and White store whose name I can never remember.
ReplyDeleteI bet she looked terrific in that dress. I can totally see her in either version!
I used online RCLK yesterday evening, and it worked.
ReplyDeleteSorry to hear it is not working for others...
Oh, now I get why the jcg has been tanking...thanks.
ReplyDeleteI used RCLK in the order that I made yesterday...so I guess I just missed the cut. I tried all of the other codes before I used RCLK and none of them worked for me. I was verrry happy to get my 10% off though .. so no complaints!
ReplyDeleteOT: Did anyone notice that on the website when you click on select size, the sizes show up from the largest to smaller numbered sizes?
ReplyDeleteie. Victoria shirt (14,12,10, 2,4, 6
anon, the sale sizes are going even weirder for me - it lists 2, 4, 8, 10, 14, 6, 12 on a lot of the sections. So confusing! The non-numerical sizes are going medium, large, small, x-large, x-small as well.
ReplyDeleteOT: JCrew has an ad on The Today Show web page...
ReplyDeleteUnless business is slow/bad I can't see why they would advertise...
OT-does anyone have regal violet. It shows up so blue and I thought it was more purple with bluer undertones. Can someone clarify--also does it look great with watercolor lydia? Trying to decide between merino crystal button which is longer style (I have many jackies but no longer cardi styles). Should I go with longer for a change or is it not as wearable?? Opinions please:)
ReplyDeleteOk, just got off the phone with CS as my usual rep has not responded nor the email customer service for over 2 days. I am not really thrilled with my "service" as she basically told me the same thing that my order history did and that was about the extent of my help. I did that days ago myself. I am sorry, when I am explaining that I literally had 2 items cancelled from an order and 1 that has been "open" from same order from almost a week ago with no status update, something is wrong. I explained that I got my other order from same day in beginning of week and re-ordered the cancelled items and got them today! She seemed fazed not at all and said the warehouse is showing they are in stock and I will get an email confirming shipment soon. I explained I have went through this with about 5 items since upgrade and I had to waste many emails and calls until they got out of the "open" status or they just hang in space till they go out of stock. Any advice on how to handle this? In my experience and considering my 2 other in stock items got dropped from same order, I don't buy the fact that they are still on a "4 to 7 day schedule" for shipping. She told me that it was not avail to ship unitl Monday since it was placed on a Saturday. That may be so, but, I got literally 3 other orders since that were placed on same day or days after. Again, any advice on how to handle this with the path of least stress for me would be great and greatly appreciated(they are the feather heels by the way in desert brown)
ReplyDeletecovert5- the regal purple is defintely more purple IRL than it looks online. but it's not a true purple like royal violet. i would call it a purple-blue. don't have the lydia, so can't say if it would look good w/that. HTH!
ReplyDeletecovert5 - I held my watercolor lydia up to my regal violet schoolgirl cardigan, and the colors look extremely similar -- you could totally wear them together.
ReplyDeleteARGH! J Crew site is down again!
ReplyDeleteebay: new small rose t-shirt creme with black rose bidding only at $5.50!
ReplyDeleteJ.Crew website is DOWN! Could explain some of the issues others have mentioned with sizes out of order, sale stuff mixed, codes working for some and not others, etc! I wish these problems would go away!
ReplyDeleteSo -- question. I received my order today that I placed a few days ago from the Fall Sale area on the site. No where in the check out process or in the confirmation email did it say it was final sale. Yet -- when I received the item today it said final sale on the receipt and had a final sale sticker on the baggie with the item. So, what is this a bait and switch? Get people to order and then tell them they can't return it? Or I am confused and Fall sale is still Final Sale????? Did anyone else have this happen to them.
ReplyDeleteLisa
lisa, they prob just didn't remove the final sale stickers from the warehouse or update the invoicing system. just call and say it was not FS when you purchased it and they should note your account that you have the option to return. I have had this happen before and you are legally entitled to return if it did not say FS when you ordered.
ReplyDeleteI received a package today and of was missing an item :( I was even charged for on the invoice. I called and they don't have anymore :( Jcrew you should do something to fix these huge mistakes. They told me it was probably put into someone elses package. Now I'm out what I ordered.
ReplyDeleteThey should do something so say sorry at least
That's exactly what I need. An empty box from jcrew!
ReplyDeleteI'm suprised they didn't say you were lying about the missing order they way that CS has been lately.
ReplyDeleteLisa, I had this happen to me w/ a dress I bought about a month ago. The confirmation email said nothing about the dress being FS. I tried to return it to the store and had to haggle with the SA. I even printed the email to show the SA and she said that if it said final sale on the receipt that I got w/ my order then it is FS and I can't return it. I told the SA that I was going to have her call CS and that when I got home I would mail it back myself. After that she was magically able to refund my money.
ReplyDeleteI placed an order this morning and tried RCLK with no luck. I called CS just now and they honoured the code. If you're ordering a small amount try it!!
ReplyDeleteAnon at 5:10 - Sorry about your order! I had that happen to me and I was very disappointed because I had really wanted the particular item but there was no redress for me. At least you still have the money to spend on something else you want!
ReplyDeleteWhy can't J Crew have someone checking the parcels before they get shipped out? Its is called quality control, if they want to become high end they better figure this out.
ReplyDeleteI used RCLK last week to order a shirt for my boyfriend on line and it worked for me. I guess it's expired. I also used Justask in a separate order last week (I know, I know, I'm compulsive, but I can't resist a good bargain) and it worked, too. I haven't tried anything this week, as nothing has tempted me, but there's always hope for tomorrow's upload!
ReplyDeleteMary I'm completely with you. I managed to get two orders using JUSTASK. Luckily nothing on the sale rack is calling my name, but hopefully when something does and that will most be true soon the newly released codes will work.
ReplyDeleteOT -- I went to retail me not and noticed that BR/GAP/Old Navy has asked that coupon codes be removed from the site. Interesting. The wording...
ReplyDelete"Sorry for the inconvenience but this merchant has specifically requested to have all user contributed coupons removed from the RetailMeNot system."
Hi Jcrewguyincanada! Let's hope some new codes start to work soon! Unless there's some unbeatable bargain or a coveted hard-to-come-by item on the website, it's harder and harder to move me to buy without a code.
ReplyDeleteI don't think J.Crew or any retailer should be removing/curtailing the use of codes right now...have they been listening to the news? If I'm on the fence about buying something, a code will push me to buy, and I'm sure I'm not alone.
And Alexis, J.Crew should be paying YOU for this blog...it's got to be helping with sales! Such awesome free advertising for the brand!
OT: Banana Republic is doing a pretty cool promotion, where if you bring your old sweater or coat for donation to the store, they give you 30% of regular priced item. I think it goes till Oct 26.
ReplyDeleteHere's more info: http://www.bananarepublic.com/browse/info.do?cid=23657
RCLK won't work even by calling (10/24). I just tried to order a coat over the phone and the CS told me that this code expired yesterday. So, I didn't order.... I guess that JCrew doesn't want my money!
ReplyDeleteJenG.
I used RCLK for my online order on Wed. It worked fine!
ReplyDeleteMary I just finished watching the news. Stocks down, Canadian dollar down and I know retail sales are down too. Not to worry, as we head into the big Christmas season it'll be either give deals now or give even bigger ones after the fat guy slides down the chimney. I expect we'll see free shipping and even more.
ReplyDeleteLol... I love how J.Crew acts all upscale and luxurious, and then I see an ad for the "Accessories Collection" on the side of my facebook page =)
ReplyDeletecovert5: Royal violet looks great with the Lydia Watercolor. It is the same color purple that is in the shirt. IRL, it is a more blue than red purple; vibrant but not garish. The school girl cardigan is sold in royal violet. I have worn it with my lydia watercolor and with my Super 120s Royal Violet dress (its a perfect match for color block look.)
ReplyDeleteHey Guys! Sorry if this has been posted already and I missed it, but the Maggie jacket is available online now! :)
ReplyDeleteI am happy to read so many Canadian J.Crew Aficionada comments. Does any one know if there are plans to open a store in Canada? BR will start selling on-line fall 2009 - can't wait. Hopefully our dollar will go back up.
ReplyDeleteLisa,
ReplyDeleteI got an item today as well that I paid full price with a student discount but it's marked "final sale". I don't plan on returning it but this had happened to me quite a few times. Shouldn't J Crew do something about this final sale fiasco?
Patrick
TRICKORTREAT works, i just used it!
ReplyDeleteI just used TRICKORTREAT and it worked for free shipping.
ReplyDeleteAnon@2;22am;
ReplyDeleteI am just wondering if you are J.Crew employee who kindly tells us a coupon code? (if so, that is exciting!)
JCrew ads are starting top pop up online...in the corners of my MSN pages, The Today Show, etc.
ReplyDeleteCompanies don't advertise UNLESS THEY NEED TO....
I am holding off for some BIG sales:)

ReplyDeletehi i am anon@2:22 am, but no, not an employee. just an aficionada who tried the discount code and it worked! yey!
ReplyDeletei tried to use the RCLK coupon code on a phone order today, but they told me it was only for opening a new jcrew credit card... oh well =( but they did honor a free shipping code for me since the website was not working!
ReplyDeleteI love Michelle Obama's JCrew style. That negative comment about burning your dress just does not belong her-it is in bad taste.
