Extra 40% Off Sale (plus free shipping for today!}

"Thanks!" to many of you, who shared the following email & news from J.Crew.

J.Crew is offering customers to take 40% off all sale items (no min) with promo code STYLETIME. The offer expires November 18, 2013. J.Crew is also offering free shipping on all orders placed today. The fine print includes:

J.Crew brought back the deeper discount online for the sale section. There is a crazy amount of merchandise available with over 1,880+ items for Women, and 640+ for Men- so hopefully things will get moving. Lots of pop-backs too.

However, I notice a lot of the items have not been further marked down. For example, the Linen Tippi Whale Sweater has been at the same price for a really long time. I was able to get the same deal as today, months ago.

Will you be checking out the Sale section? Are there any items you are hoping to see or to get?

  1. Very disappointed! Was hoping for 25% off new items. Well, my money is safe for another day! Any one else experiencing wonky jcrew computer glitches? Mine keeps changing countries!

    2. If you order through a VPS they will honor it, given that the last promo ended abruptly. My VPS said they have been told to give it only to those who ask for it.

  2. Mine keeps switching countries (and currencies) too.. so annoying but I thought it was just because I was overseas.

    I'm really happy about this promo, although I don't think they should have pulled the GOSHOP promo early (they should have stopped advertising it but kept letting it work). It's not like you can use more than one promo at a time anyway.

    Anyways this promo finally let me stock up on some basics I've been waiting to drop way down in price: merino sweaters, long-sleeve tees, and the toothpick jeans in ecru that I've had my eye on forever (has anyone tried these? I couldn't seem to find a review. No final sale thank goodness so at $30 I can just try them out). The free shipping was really the clincher for me pulling the trigger though!

  3. I can't check out, annoying! I've tried different browsers, with no luck. Any ideas?

    1. shopwithm: You could try placing your order with the CS Chat rep or else phone it in...hopefully the checkout will work for one of them. :)

    2. I saw one thing, a dress, in the new arrivals but without a promo I'll wait for it. If this is Holiday it's a bit lackluster for me. Though I do with those gray plaid Etta's didn't have a jeweled toe. All plaid would have been lovely.

  5. Although I think 40% sale is great, methinks J Crew pulled a promo! They advertised the 25% off $100 would run through the 16th. Ending it early and replacing it with a promo on sale items is shady. Not cool J. Crew.

  6. I like the ballet flats with the silver cap toes -- but it is just me-- why does JC always need to put those little bows on the ballet flats? I tried taking them off a pair -- I am not crafty in the least (bull in a china shop) -- that was a mistake! :)

    1. I agree, I am put off by those little bows. They don't help the shoes.

    2. I don't like the little bows either. They look very grandmother-y to me.

  7. I bit on the MacAlister wedge boot in nut. I like the look of them, and though I tried eBay first, I couldn't find new (though the ones I get might be a return, so ~shrug~) ones for less than $99, and I got them for $94, so I figured it was a decent deal.

  8. In a haze this morning, shortly after waking up, I ordered the chocolate cosmos top. They had me at silk gazaar.

  9. Sorry to say that I placed three separate orders this morning (popbacks + free shipping) had me somewhat crazed. I got the Nike Waffle Racer in the green color for $45 (steal!), the zipper minnies in bi-stretch wool ($64 - love the zippers, may hate the wool and end up bringing them back, but worth a try) and the Jennifer Meyer Jeweled Cuff in the light purple + gold color. I've loved this bracelet since it came out and with the extra 40% off, it was a reasonable price ($71) for a very pretty piece of jewelry. I still haven't made it all the way through the sale section, but I think I'm done ordering!

    As an aside, I noticed an odd item in the sale section that I've never seen before: the Collection Sequin Sleeved Shirt (item 38464). No offense to any JCAs that love this, but I just have no idea to where one would wear this or how they would do so. It looks like a work shirt with sequin sleeves. Strange . . .

  10. Everything I looked at was ghost pages around 7:30am.

  11. Is the 25% off gone from in store as well? I was hoping to get some deals on full price items this Saturday....

    1. Yeah, it's over in stores too. Only the 40% off sale is going on right now.

  12. i picked up the schoolboy in beaded tweed - the last one in my size! can't wait to see it IRL, but a little worried it might overlap with my schoolboy with the jeweled collar...anyways, boo for promo switcheroos, but yay for 40% without final sale!

  13. Right before bed last night at 11pm PST I checked my phone and saw the 40% off sale notice on the j crew site. After a few minutes, I had two long sleeve cashmere tees in my cart and bought them immediately. The colors were new to me (I haven't looked at this item since last winter) so I bought Venetian Green and Deep Blueberry. Great deal at 40% off. I live in these when it's cold so I didn't even think twice before purchasing.

    I just checked again this morning to get a closer look at the other colors but the item disappeared from sale.

    Does anyone else love these?

  14. Congrats on getting such a good deal, BigShopper! I like the LS cashmere tees too -- I have some from prior years that've held up well and get a lot of wear during the winter.

  15. Madewell is having an extra 30% off sale items for anyone interested. A few items on my wishlist went on promo this week, and I was able to get the sale price on top. And nothing was FS - yay!

  16. I picked up a few things this morning that popped back in my size - black suede Martina wedges, tossed hearts silk boy shirt and the merino boyfriend sweater in black. Basics but good deals with the 40% off!

  17. Hi! If anyone spots the grid scarf (item #08917) in store, could you let me know? It seems that every time it pops back online, it sells out before I have a chance to check out. Thanks!

  18. innisfree, the Glen Mills, PA store had two of these on Monday. Their phone number is (610) 358-2001. One was at the table next to the registers, styled with some sweater jackets, the other one was with the rest of the scarves. It was not marked down, even though it is on sale online. Hopefully at least one is still there. Good luck! -masha

  19. Thank you! No joy, unfortunately; they were all out.

  20. i believe in the JCA WIFFY! If anyone sees the beaded tweed schoolboy in 6 or 8, will you put it on hold under Gigi?

  21. welp, so much for the tossed hearts shirt. just got a phone call (yes, a phone call) instead of the dreaded "we wish we'd made more... email to tell me it's out of stock. Is this standard practice? bummer, of course that was the item I was most excited about.

    1. I've gotten a call like that from Madewell before. I think it was the first time that they were unable to fill my order since I started shopping there. Sorry about the shirt, that really stinks :(

  22. Went to the store last night - the stretch herringbone cargo pants are $59.99 with 40% off! Final sale, but I ordered my size and crossed my fingers. Also I heard a SA tell a customer that they would honor the 25%.
