Spotted: J.Crew At T.J. Maxx {part 3}

As mentioned in previous posts (click here and here), J.Crew items have been spotted at various T.J. Maxx's around the country. The items ranged from shoes to special occasion dresses (even wedding dresses!), with prices ranging from $14.99-19.99 each!

Since the other two posts are no longer on the "main page" I thought it was time to create another one. Therefore, this post is essentially a "Part 3" to the other posts- where we can continue the discussion.

So... if your local T.J. Maxx is carrying some deep discounted J.Crew items from the current season, perhaps you would be willing to share with us in this post? :)

P.S. I noticed that many of you have already been reporting whether or not your local T.J. Maxx stores have J.Crew items, which by the way "thank you!" :) I really appreciate how helpful we are for each other!

  1. Hi ladies - I went to TJ Maxx in San Diego a few days ago and found two pairs of gold J Crew strappy sandals, but neither of them were in my size! They were just too cute to pass up, so I bought them in case any JCAs were interested. Here they are:

    Size 9
    Metallic Gold Mackenzie Mid-Heel

    (http://www.jcrew.com/browse/single_product_detail.jsp?PRODUCT%3C%3Eprd_id=845524441769630&FOLDER%3C%3Efolder_id=2534374302023923&srcCode=FRGL09)

    Size 9.5
    Gold Twyla Mid-Heel

    (http://www.jcrew.com/AST/Browse/WomenBrowse/Women_Shop_By_Category/shoes/heels/PRDOVR~90862/90862.jsp)

    I've never done this before, so e-mail me (kate.cw.lee at gmail.com) and we can figure out shipping costs - if there are no takers by Friday, I'll just plan to return them. I'm also looking for J Crew heels in a 7.5 or 8! Thanks!

  2. Hello. I picked up some shoes for my bf that did not fit him, and would like to offer them here:

    Size 9 Macalister Suede Boots in tan color

    Size 10 Macalister Leather Boots in rich chocolate brown color.

    I would say for around $36 shipped, each.

    Also wanted to give a shout out to Chance for her generosity!

  8. OT - Maybe someone has already posted it, but J.Crew updated the site with information about the red carpet dress featured in good morning america.

  9. i've heard the people work at tj maxx buy most of the shoes and then sell them on ebay. they make at least 20 bucks per pair and they even got employee discounts. maybe i should get a job there...

    ReplyDelete
  10. It would be really helpful if everyone could begin their posts with CITY AND STATE, and what they found (or did not find)?

    i'm going blind from sorting through the previous posts about this, looking for anyone at my local tjmaxx who found any goods.

    thanks a bunch everyone!

    Bay Area, NorCal

    Nothing in Brentwood, Dublin, Pleasant Hill, or Modesto. Didn't bother trying Concord as it seems the buyer for this area/region missed these trucks or didn't get a shot at the title.

  17. Does anyone think this was a one time only deal? Or do you think we will be seeing a lot more of J.Crew at TJM?

    ReplyDelete
  18. I sent an email to J.Crew asking about the TJMaxx sellings and the response I got said that they were items that were not up to their standards, and were also not covered by their quality warranty (i.e. if it got a hole or something broke they wouldn't refund money to the TJMaxx items... to me this is obvious, it wasn't bought at J.Crew, but whatever).
    This is obviously a lie as there are THOUSANDS of items being sold nationwide at TJMaxx. It kind of makes me even more mad that they would throw a lie like that at me and expect me to believe it.

    They expected me to believe all of the items had defects.

  19. Philly JCAs...
    which TJMaxx stores yielded the best results? I saw some posts in an earlier thread, but there are too many posts to weed through now! yowza!

    Thanks!

  20. Put off, that's interesting about their response. I received a pair of Juliets from Jaymie yesterday (awesome transaction, BTW) that were absolutely perfect - couldn't believe the $19.99 tag on them. They're still $150 on the website (plus, the black and blanched almond are back up to $198!).

  21. Has anybody spotted Jcrew items at TJ Maxx in Florida?

    ReplyDelete

    Size 6 (not 9 as the tag said) wedge espadrilles VERY similar to Caribe, Bright Sun, 4 straps knotted in center

    Size 8 seagrass sole flip flops with thin metallic gold leather straps Made in Italy
    $25 shipped

  23. I went to the Brookfield, CT and New Milford, CT store and they both pretty much had nothing.

    Brookfield- just had one Crewcuts ballet flat size 5.

    New Milford- had like 3 shoes in size 5 or 6 and they didn't look like they were the best.

  24. correction to my earlier posting:

    The seagrass flip flops have seagrass in the footbed, not the sole! Sorry!

  26. I haven't found any J.Crew at my local TJ Maxx in Florida.

    I'm looking for the Serengeti Ballet Flats and Spectator Peep Toes in Graphite, size 10...would love to get them at TJ Maxx price (plus time/gas/shipping) that others have been offering, if anyone finds them. THANK YOU!!!!

    ReplyDelete
  27. Do any JCAs live in the Twin Cities Metro area and if so, have you found anything at the TJMaxxs around here? I tried the (Very small) Sun Ray plaza store on the border of St. Paul and Woodbury....nothing at all. I'm thinking the St. Louis Park store is the best bet, but I haven't had time to go. Anyone, anyone...?

    ReplyDelete
  28. TJMaxx's in lower Fairfield, CT seem to be sold out for days now. Wondering if they will be getting anymore JCrew at all....

    If anyone sees a pair of size 9 metallic lulus (or an 8.5!) I would gladly pay you for your troubles! I'm desperate! Thanks

  32. Of course none of it (or very little of it) is defective, or second-quality. It just costs more to store merchandise that isn't selling in warehouses right now because of the economy - they can't count on us buying it at any price, and they need to move the new stuff in. It costs them less to sell it for pennies to TJ Maxx, cut and run and hope that we'll buy the next thing. Merchants are in a bad spot these days, even the ones consumers are loyal to.

  33. Found some stuff!!

    Indigo-Buttercup Chiffon Rosette Ribbon Belt $19 shipped

    Black Cashmere shrunken hoodie cardigan sweater $35 shipped (Item 91475) - Size L but would also fit M as I am a M

  38. Hi ladies - I see that many of you are still wondering if stores will be receiving more shoes or if there will be more deals like this to come. I had left a comment in the last J.Crew at TJs post... as of right now, there won't be any more J.Crew coming to the stores. What's there has been out for 3 weeks already and the majority of it has sold out. Also, not all stores across the country received the J.Crew product, so the list of stores that JCAs have been providing is probably your best bet for finding something.

    I've been in store when shipments arrive and the shoes and dresses were flying off the shelves as fast as they were being put on them.

    I live in the Boston area and work at the TJMaxx corporate office, so I've been to many of the stores in the area. For anyone living in the area, here is a list of stores that I know received J.Crew, as I went on a bit of a shopping spree: Waltham, Framingham, Bedford, Sudbury, Westborough, Woburn, Hudson, Acton. Again, they're sold through most of their inventory, so I'm not sure how much is left at this point.

    In my rush to buy as many shoes as possible, I did end up with a few pairs that didn't fit... I have about 6 pairs left in sizes 9 - 10 if anyone's interested, otherwise they're going back.

    Also, I have a long silk tricotine dress in ivory in size P0 - it's a bit short for me, but otherwise a perfect fit for anyone that's a size 0.

    Let me know if you're interested or if there are any questions that I can try and answer for you!

  66. New Jersey readers: The J. Crew in Marlboro has J. Crew shoes! They had no clothes, however. As of Friday, the Howell location did not have anything. I picked up some stuff, but since there was no TJ Maxx post on the main page here, I put them on Ebay. If you don't want to use Ebay, e-mail me, and when I go back there I can check to see if they have what you want.

  69. Hi. OT here. Does anyone know how the Lucie kitten heal sandals wear? Any issues with the back strap? I'm thinking about getting a pair on ebay.

    By the way, the new peep toe flats just out in the stores run pretty much true to size. I wear an 8 in sandals and an 8.5 in closed toed shoes, so I tried on an 8 in the peep toed shoes. Nope, I'd definitely take an 8.5.

    ReplyDelete
  70. Thanks krista.alana!
    The Toms River, NJ store had nothing. No shoes or clothing. I also went to Howell and you are right, also nothing J Crew related.
    If you happen to see any of the flats City, Salina or Alessia in 8.5 or 9 I would def. take a ride up.
    I am going to try and bid on the boots you posted on Ebay.
    Thanks again!

  72. Hi girls. I checked the TJM in Alex, VA yesterday and they had nothing. I did talk to one of the managers and he said that it all went pretty fast. He has seen a couple stray pairs of J. Crew shoes over the past week and someone returned about 10 pairs over the weekend, but they all go as soon as they hit the shelves. I gave him $20 and my cell phone # and he promised to set aside any J Crew items that come in and give me a call.

    I am looking for anything in a size 10. I pass along any shoes not in my size here first. I love J. Crew and this blog.

    ReplyDelete
  73. I have called my local TJ Maxx about 10 times, every monday and friday (when they get shipments), but sometimes multiples in one day because they keep saying they haven't opened them yet. Finally they took my name and number and said they'd call when they got JCrew (they are expecting it).

    I am sure they think I'm crazy but I want some Jcrew shoes!

  74. himmiefan - I bought the Lucie Kitten Heels last spring to wear to a wedding. I love them! The back strap is adjustable, but I never had any problems with it. They are so cute. I've tried on ballet flats and found them to be uncomfortable, but these have always been fine for me.

    they are knicked a little in the heel and has the black mark on label so she obviously got it from tjmaxx.

    I went to the TJ Maxx in Westbury, NY and didn't see anything, but I also just browsed the main outer racks and looked over the shoes.

    How easily has everyone's experience been in spotting J.Crew items at the store? Have you had to dig through the middle racks in the store?

    Thanks!

    ReplyDelete
  82. In my experience, you definitely have to dig through the racks for the JCrew clothes... but shoes are usually obvious.

  83. I was just browsing EBay for my coveted Juliets when I happened upon a 7 page "store" of J Crew...the town listed is the town where my local TJMaxx is located. They also had Williams Sonoma candles, etc...which I also saw at TJMaxx. I just don't understand how the TJ employess are able to buy everything and resell. Not sure if I'm mad or jealous.

    Yeah i agree with you. It makes me want to fill out an application.

  86. anon @ 3:54,

    are you talking about jellyhk? I'm surprised there was that much jcrew to be had in the dartmouth/fall reeve/new beige area...

    it's crazy that there are juliet's at full price or barely reduced on the jcrew website, but are in tjmaxx for $19.99.

  89. I'm sure it's a real long shot, but I have a dream of owning a pair of size 9 silver Lizzie driving mocs and I was hoping that you guys could keep an eye out for them. I often read this blog (ok...I read it everyday) and I have been so impressed with how helpful everyone has been to one another. I thought if anyone could help me realize my "dream" of owning these shoes, it would be you guys. Thanks in advance for your help! I'll be checking the board to see if anyone has any luck! :)

  90. Any on here in New Orleans? I just moved down here, do we have TJ Maxx in NOLA?

    Thanks!

    ReplyDelete
  91. I'm in Raleigh, NC and so far, have just seen a few pair of shoes at the Apex store and some dresses and men's & women's pants at the North Raleigh store. I have a contact at the Cary store and she said they were told they were going to get a shipment, but haven't gotten anything yet.

    We also have three of the Rugged Wearhouse (Gabriel Brothers) stores in the area and I've been buying past-season JCrew shoes there for the past five years or so. They're always $12.99 for shoes and $19.99 for boots. The label is marked through just like at TJ Maxx.

    For the past year or so, I haven't seen as good a selection, so I finally asked the manager at one of the stores. He said they have a lady that comes in & buys everything right off the truck to put on ebay. Same with the other stores. She just returns what doesn't sell - which explains all the size 5 flipflops, etc. They do get JCrew clothing all along, but it's always hit or miss. Just thougth I'd pass that along...

    ReplyDelete

  93. I live in Charlotte North Carolina and have been stalking the T J Maxxs aroung here- for any other charloteans the one in Kannapolis, the one on Independence and the one at University- and have yet to find anything. If anyone has better luck please let me know.

  98. As a follow-up to "Put off by the whole damn thing," J Crew is clearly lying. I saw several items at TJ Maxx with the in-store price tag still attached with mark-down stickers on it! So clearly it was either "not up to their standards" to begin with when it was on sale in the store, or they're full of shit.

    While I still love JC shoes, finding them at TJ Maxx now has certainly turned me off paying anything more than $100 from J Crew directly (and that's only if I'm lusting after something).

    ReplyDelete
  99. Oops, pardon my language ladies. I meant "full of hot air." :)

    ReplyDelete
  100. I (perhaps obsessively) checked the Fairfield , CT store again- no J Crew but they got in a ton of Cole Haan Fiona mid heel pumps, in brown and leopard print. However they are $50-69, not $20.

    I have read other people comment about these shoes on this blog so thought I would let anyone in the area know. Sorry it's off 'J Crew' topic!

  101. Dying for any heels or flats in an 11! Long shot, I know, but the TJM near me has nothing, and since I am in the Midwest I don't get the feeling I'll see any.

  119. Anonymous 7:02: I am a personnal shopper at J Crew. If you are willing to pay the alteration fees, you can of course bring in your J Crew dress to any store. That said, unless it is something simple like shortening the hem or the straps, I would not bring it in. There may be some stores out there that have trained seamstresses, but most of us are not capable of pinning anything beyond a hem. You would be much better off taking the dress to a professional tailor.

  122. I can't understand why TJMX lets people buy the shoes off the truck - wouldn't it be a selling point for them to have J Crew on the shelves? [And not just the dregs that the resellers can't unload.] But oh well.

    Oooh, someone mentioned the leopard Cole Haans earlier. I've seen those - they're sweet!

  155. Went to St. David's (near Villanova) TJMaxx today... only saw one pair of sandals (alessandra flat, pale gold, sz 6 1/2).
    -*several special occasion dresses in larger sizes (6-8-10-12). colors I saw in cotton cady dresses were espresso (vneck), orange (scoopneck), fresh clover (scoopneck). there was also a matelasse cassia dress in navy, sze 6.
    -*gold sequin tank, sz2*-- this top runs really big, would best fit someone with a longer torso.
    -couple tanks
    -perfect fit henley, honey glaze, sz xl
    -silk bateau 3/4 sleeve top, black w/ ivory polka dota, sz6

    I got for myself a confetti bateau top, sz0 for only $9.99!!

    oh, I did not purchase any of that stuff (just the confetti top for myself), that is just the stuff I saw at that store. Sorry for the confusion! If it makes you feel better, the sandals looked like a return or like several people had tried them on-- kind of scuffed. :/

  161. silver_lining,

    It was $9.99!!! I was shocked. I tried it on, but it was *huge*, the blouse practically went down to my crotch and the scoopneck was too revealing for my comfort. I almost bought it anyway, to offer to ladies here. I decided not to, but maybe I should have! I didn't know what price to ask for it and would have felt uncomfortable asking more than, say, $25-30 for it from a JCA.

    ReplyDelete
  162. silver lining, the confetti blouse is also JCrew collection... it's so cute, I'm really happy with that find-- and the price, of course. ;) So yes, there are jcrew collection pieces out there! :)

    If for some reason you go back to that TJ Maxx and the gold sequin tank is still there, I would purchase it from you! I have a freakishly long torso (we're talking torso of a 6 foot woman and legs of a 5 foot woman), so I think it might work for me.

  181. I am so sick of hearing about people buying up EVERYTHING that they see. Other JCAs are also capable of going to their local TJ Maxx stores! Lets stop assuming that purchasing an entire store's inventory is some kind of favor to the rest of the JCA community.

    I have no desire to pay someone for their "time" when I went to the exact same TJ Maxx as them, only to find that all the shoes were purchased before I even got a chance to look at them.

    I am not going to name names, but I also live in MA and would have liked to purchase some shoes for 19dollars instead of only having the option of buying them at double the price when I am perfectly willing to drive myself to that store!

  182. I also think that people are being a little bit selfish....but then they can retort that they are looking out for fellow JCA's.....well you're not really looking out for us when we are capable of going to the stores and finding the bargains for ourselves...

  183. Anna L-
    I would agree with you, but I have been on the wonderful receiving end of these deals! I am more than happy to pay $42 for something that costs $21, if only because I never would have gotten it otherwise. I understand that you could have gone there too, but you didn't! If x or y left the shoes for you, then maybe a non-JCA would have grabbed them and NONE of us would benefit.

    There's also the reverse of this, where JCA's are posting that they are finding shoes other JCA's want, but are not purchasing and then no one gets them! That sucks too. Can't win them all, I guess.

  184. My only comment on the buying up frenzy is: why do some of you charge so much to the JCA's and some charge a reasonable amount? I've seen as high as $42 and as low as $28. It's kind of ridiculous to offer them here, but still try to make money. If you want to make money, take them to ebay!

  185. Anna L,

    That's exactly why I only post what I have *seen* at various TJmaxx's, and don't buy everything up... Not like I could afford to do that, anyway! I just buy a couple things for myself, then try to report back what I saw, so that someone else in the area can potentially get it for themselves.

    But watch out because talking about this topic might cause an anonymous poster to call you anti-capitalist, hippie and/or a commie! ;)

  186. Anon at 10:59..."I understand that you could have gone there too, but you didn't!"

    Um...okay. This past weekend I went to 4 TJ Maxx stores and the only thing I saw was a pair of scuffed crewcuts shoes. Enough said.

    The only purpose of my post is to respectfully request that people be considerate of other JCA's in more ways than one.

    Sure, it's great to send someone a pair of Lulu's for a discounted price, but it's also nice to leave a few items for other people to find if they do take the time to drive to 4 TJ Maxx stores!

  187. "maybe a non-JCA would have grabbed them and NONE of us would benefit."

    Let us remember that we were all non-JCAs at some point in our lives and many of us have had a long-standing devotion to the brand before finding this blog!

  188. Has anyone in North Texas had any luck recently? I checked out one on my lunch break today - still nothing but they said they are supposed to be getting something sometime (real specific). It seems as though a couple of people in the blog world have actually found some in DFW, but they haven't shared where yet. Just thought I would ask!

  189. Well Anna L., I understand your frustration. I really do. I am not in MA but I have gone to my local stores after JCAs said they were carrying jcrew shoes without any luck. However, if I remember correctly, you had had a lady who worked at TJMAX set all the size 7 + 7.5 jcrew shoes aside for you in the back before you can try them on and finally grabbed 7 pairs there and you KEEP them ALL. Have you ever thought it is unfair to other JCAs in your area with shoe's size of 7 or 7.5? Why you complain? What I am trying to say is if some one bought a lot then tried to sell them to JCAs at a fair price here is a very nice and decent thing to do for most of JCAs. At least some JCAs will have more chances to get what they want based on the person did not keep them all.

  190. Buying an entire store's inventory of J.Crew isn't a "nice" thing to do when it's done to make a profit. Some people might not be charging a lot, but they're still making a lot! $10 in profit x 20 pairs of shoes = $200 dollars. I guess it pays to be nice!

    I love J.Crew, but I hate the prices. As a matter of fact, I took a day off of work and left Boston at 2 AM in hopes of getting a few good deals at the sample sale. The sample sale sucked. Shoes? What shoes?! Shorts for $25? WTF?

    I was absolutely psyched when I found out that the TJ Maxx around me got in a shipment of shoes from J.Crew. I spent $140 on shoes for myself. I'm sure many people on this blog have spent more than that on a single item from J.crew.

    The SA who answered the phone offered to let me see the shoes before they were put out. Who the heck wouldn't say yes?! Oh...and FYI, there was still at least 15 pairs of shoes in 7/7.5 even after I had made my purchases.

  191. Anna L.,
    "Ahhh! I am so excited. I am leaving in 20 mins. to go to the T.J. Maxx near me. I called this morning and a lady who worked there was nice enough to set all the size 7 + 7.5 shoes aside for me in the back."

    Remeber you wrote those words on 2/6/2009 at 11:13am in the first "jcrew at TJMAX" post? No matter how many 7 and 7.5 pairs still left after your purchases, it is absolutely unfair to anyone who visited the same store looking for size 7 or 7.5 shoes in any brand between the nice lady "set ALL the size 7 + 7.5 shoes aside" for you and you showed up in that store. They were simplely not able to see "ALL 7+7.5" JCREW shoes during that time!

  192. Who's the selfish one?

    "...but it's also nice to leave a few items for other people to find if they do take the time to drive to 4 TJ Maxx stores!"

    Other people? After the first major haul, one would think the "nice" thing to do would be to spread the wealth.

  193. I like shopping, so that makes me selfish? Why don't you stop wasting your breath on me and go chastise some of the people trying to resell their shoes on Ebay for $100. I bought shoes for myself to wear, big freakin deal. If a few pairs of shoes makes you this mad, you'd probably have a heart attack if you saw my closet.

  194. jellies and flip flops for $42?!

  195. If you don't like the prices the other JCAs are charging, then don't buy the shoes. I don't think anyone here cleared the stores out, and we only purchased multiple shoes to help people that we "know". I fully admit that I charged extra for my time for the shoes I found at TJM, for the time I took to mail them, the tissue and bubble wrap they were packaged in, but odds are without me having taken that time, four people wouldn't have gotten Lulus, a couple new Trixies, and at least 5 people new Juliets.

    People should appreciate the time that others took to help them (I NEVER found a pair of shoes in my size in all my TJM searching and relied on sales and trades with others) and appreciate that they can still get an expensive pair of coveted shoes rather than exorbitant prices on ebay.

    I don't care if you bought a dozen pairs of shoes for yourself, go right ahead, but don't chastise those who bought shoes for others. And stop being jealous because other people found better shoes than you.
