One store told me they had it and took my information. The necklace arrived a week later and was completely the wrong necklace. It was final sale and I took it to a store to return it this week. The SA let me return it but she made me feel bad for asking, even though it was their error. Normally I would have stayed and looked around the store but her attitude made me walk right out.<br /><br />That said, I completely understand that with thousands of low-paid retail employees, it's hard to ensure that every single one provides exceptional customer service.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1317882250647868056.post-21173490181611199602012-07-27T09:58:37.375-04:002012-07-27T09:58:37.375-04:00I just had an experience with Ann Taylor that made...I just had an experience with Ann Taylor that made me really appreciate J. Crew's excellent customer service. I bought a pair of shoes online that were a final sale item, and they turned out to be too wide. I would have chalked it up to taking a bad gamble except that the description of the shoes said they had two adjustable buckles (these were strappy sandals), and they turned out to be just decorative, not adjustable at all. If they were, I probably could have made them work. I contacted customer service twice and no one could do anyhting for me. I have had unfortunate experiences with J. Crew final sale items and they made exceptions to let me return them. This has really soured my opinion of Ann Taylor and made me love J. Crew even more!Traceyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08427161394105463542noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1317882250647868056.post-57558564459533984502012-07-26T22:20:16.299-04:002012-07-26T22:20:16.299-04:00I think these are the normal rewards cards, unless...I think these are the normal rewards cards, unless those are coming out very soon too, because I checked my account and "Fall Rewards" is closed, and now it shows "Holiday Rewards" as the active rewards period.Erinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00921525252574674872noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1317882250647868056.post-58643046497753876032012-07-26T20:58:52.049-04:002012-07-26T20:58:52.049-04:00Hi-my card arrived today and was a rewards card(fo...Hi-my card arrived today and was a rewards card(for more than $25 since I spent too much)ccurran136https://www.blogger.com/profile/10240891128080810248noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1317882250647868056.post-9899608725088476892012-07-26T20:11:19.177-04:002012-07-26T20:11:19.177-04:00I stopped by after work.

Lots of cashmere and it seemed like they had more shoes and bags than Towson (my regular store).<br /><br />Overall I wasn't particularly blown away.

There were a lot of Filigree strapless dress (marked down to 79.99 before 40%), there was one size 4 and size 0 Ella dress, a couple of linen schoolboy blazer in cerise (I forgot what sizes), a lot of purple Minnies, a featherweight striped white/blue cardigan in XXS so the sale was still going on. There were a few Jackie cardigans marked down to $19.99 before 40%, I was able to pick one up for my sister.

I was worried there would be a snafu if I ordered on the website so I wanted to be sure and order and pick up in store. They were very helpful, held the sweaters until I could get down there the next day and were very gracious. I don't know if that price was an error since the same color is now $129 on site but I'm very happy and they honored the price with no difficulty.katertotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00753296265256829722noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1317882250647868056.post-64235655295536100902012-07-26T14:49:07.773-04:002012-07-26T14:49:07.773-04:00Just try to have fun with it!

Although I didn't get it directly through the Crew (couldn't find it in any stores, didn't want to pay shipping, etc etc-- Ebay came to the rescue), I really really like it. The material is thick and sturdy enough that it doesn't feel like it'll fall apart, the fit is really great, the melon-pink dots aren't glaringly electric at all, and it's 100% cotton, 100% machine washable. Now I just need to wait out this heatwave so I can actually wear it outside of the house. =)emilybethzzzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07704219604662674050noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1317882250647868056.post-57260673755223838522012-07-26T13:02:58.858-04:002012-07-26T13:02:58.858-04:00I had vented about my PS appt. to use my $50 gc wa...I had vented about my PS appt. to use my $50 gc was most likely not going to happen due to issues at the mall, but am very pleased that the PS did get in touch with me and confirmed the appt.
