Sought & Found: Did you visit J.Crew this {past} Weekend?

This is the weekly "sale watch" post, to help each other find sale items at our various local J.Crew stores. ;)

If you are stopped by a J.Crew store this past weekend to see what's available (if anything!) in the FALL sale, or to see some new HOLIDAY arrivals {sigh!} in person, maybe you might be willing to share that with us in this post. In particular, if you could share with us a few of the noteworthy items that are available, at what prices, and potential sizes the store is carrying (as well as the store location)- that would be fantastic!

Also, please let us know if your local store was/ is carrying an additional percent off sale. Thanks in advance!!! :)

    I visited the Barton Creek store to make some returns on Friday afternoon. There are some new arrivals in the store but the sale section is very limited. I did get a scarf for 39.99 less 40% (saw it on the SA, loved it and there was one left!). There is a new promo online: MUSTHAVE = 30% off sale items & I just placed a big order. However, I had placed several other orders earlier in the week and will be returning most of those items as they were not marked FS and are now much less expensive with the 30 % off (ex: painter cardigans, red checked perfect shirt, and perfect fit tees). Jump on it while you can! I also ordered the Laramie purse in warm fig....it's not marked FS so I can return it if I don't like it....does anyone have this item?

    Will be visiting one of the local stores later this week to make returns (again!).

    OT: I received two J Crew items as Christmas gifts that (1) don't fit and (2) did not get a gift receipt for. Has anyone made a return this year under these circumstances? Will J Crew give me a store credit without a receipt? There never used to be a problem before but now that the return policy has changed, I don't know what to do!

    shopalot, I have not tried in store but I did call and was told by CS last Friday "I have been told that if you do not have a receipt you cannot return it under the new policy." She sounded really unhappy to have to tell me this as if she was scared that I'd blame her (I'm sure the new policy has caused a lot of unhappy customers).

    Like I said, I did not try in store yet and I'm guessing that if you get a reasonable sa, you might be able to secure a gift card. I just haven't gotten that far yet (the nearest store is far from my house).

    shopalot,

    I would suggest going ASAP if you want to try and get store credit. The longer you wait the less likely you can use the "I got it as a gift." and ask for the gift card/credit. Good luck! I hope a good store manager would let you make the return at this time of year.

    Caroline & Genny: Thanks very much. I'm still kicking myself for pitching the box in the recycle bin before checking for the gift receipt. I am planning to take the two items in tomorrow and see what they tell me. I'll post after I get back from the store. I know both the pieces are on sale and I'm not expecting anything but current selling price. Just don't want to be stuck with two more things I can't wear.

    shopalot,

    You can always use their line when you go into the store and ask: "As a one time courtesy may I please have a gift card:)"

    shopalot,

    if you give the store the name of the person who got it for you, they could look it up and give you a giftcard for the right amount. good luck!

    Has anyone tried the Super 120's Allura shift dress? I see the Allura is now available in superfine cotton. I love the superfine cotton pieces from the past two years. Would be interested to know if the Allura dress fits TTS and is flattering/comfortable. TIA!

    I was just going to post what you said. Great idea! It should work. Good luck, shopsalot:)

    I went to the JC premium outlet in Las Vegas over the weekend. This store had nothing left in both back walls, and everything was on some sort of promo 30-50% off. My husband walked in and asked if the store was closing down since there was NOTHING left at the store. The SA didn't know exactly when they were expecting new arrivals but did say they are just clearing out all the winter stuff. I bought a pajama pant for $19.99 minus 40% off all clearance stuff. Oh, the nice thing is that clearance is NOT final sale.
