  1. I do love the free shipping. I place few J Crew orders these days due to poor quality and styles that don’t work for me, but the free shipping makes it easier to pull the trigger on a good popback or “one season”-type item. I hope it will help sales overall as the company moves toward faster-churn, fast fashion items that customers can purchase anywhere and won’t pay shipping fees for!

    1. Yeah. I just pulled the trigger on a couple of pop backs myself. I don't know if they'll actually ship (which is another matter) but if I had to wait to reach a certain total amount, I wouldn't have bought either one.

    2. had my pop back of the gingham mules in a 9 cancelled. at least they let me know this time. shipping was $12 Canadian. last time this happened 2 items didn't ship and they refunded me $6 off the shipping. this time they refunded me $5 off?
      its always the one item I really wanted in the order that gets cancelled.....my luck.

  2. I got the parrot sweater, which I had liked since seeing it at full price, although it is not my style at all. I think it's fun and was on sale for $24.99 with an additional 30% off at my store. I'm very pleased with that price for 100% merino wool.

    1. I ordered it but am returning. I'm not a fan of the blousy sweater style, where the arm and body hems are elastic-y and bunch together. I thought it was more of a straight Tippi style. But seriously good price!

  3. Finally the item I want is in the 30 off and they allow student/teacher discount! I am glad now I didn't get it last time it was 30 off because extra discount was not allowed. it is the long navy cardigan J6308. I will get some much use out of it but I hope it is not the type that pills. I am going to pick it up late this afternoon

  4. I was waiting for a discount to get button up in roaming tiger. BIG MISTAKE! I checked this morning and sizes are gone, all but size zero. Good for jcrew and a lesson for me. It's going to be hard to un-learn to wait for a discount of some kind. I was sure there would be 20% off at some point.

    1. They're all available online now...but I agree it is popular. We had 5 left in store and sold 2 just on Tuesday night while I was there...

    2. They are not available for Canadian customers. We do not see what's available at US stores. Only strictly what's in stock at the warehouse.

    3. Oh my goodness, I had no idea, I'm sorry to hear that. Can you call and do a store send?

    4. A bit off topic but I saw a photo of Tina Fey wearing the tiger top in question.

    5. I might be able. Never tried that before.

    6. @Natalya, I haven’t done a store send in Canada for a while but I used to do them fairly often. They would charge $9.95 shipping for UPS last year.

  7. If anyone’s interested, I returned a painted regatta skirt in small to the 347 Madison store tonight. It was $78.xx and the store had additional 30% off as of today.
