I...Yes, great discussion. Hope they read it, too. <br /><br />In their annual report they state black on white that they do own their 1) Facility in Asheville which houses the distribution center, it ships merch to stores using an independent trucking company 2) Own two facilities in Lynchburg which contain a customer call center and order fulfillment operations for the ecommerce business 3) Lease customer call centre in San Antonio 4) Utilize third party distribution centers to support the factory and international ecommerce. <br /><br />Page 6, Distribution section. <br /><br />Now, for legal purposes, companies have a bunch of subsidiaries for their separate businesses. Grace Holmes, Inc, is their legal name of their retail stores, Factory stores are under H.F.D. No. 55, Inc., etc. There is J.Crew Virginia, Inc. for....JCrew Virginia, Inc. So my guess is, the facilites in Lynchburg are separate subsidiary for legal purposes, hence the rep response that they dont "own" it. But all is owned by J.Crew Group, Inc., aka "JCrew" as we know it. <br /><br />Also, have job openings for the clearance store in arden, nc....Btw, if anyone is wondering whether a new store is coming to your town, check it out, there are job openings for "New stores" :)<br />anonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00908524697309265364noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1317882250647868056.post-23438158585008751222015-09-04T23:06:53.207-04:002015-09-04T23:06:53.207-04:00This comment has been removed by the author.Blakemdjohnshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00197322853919107995noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1317882250647868056.post-52437630396807661122015-09-04T20:17:52.458-04:002015-09-04T20:17:52.458-04:00This is a great chat.

I called the Lynchburg warehouse and was told they do not ship from the store... And yes... I am a little bitter that I was told that the Dulci heels are only $60, are available in sold out color(mink gray) and in my size 7.5.... It's hard to pay $150<br />On sale or $120 on eBay when I know they are $60 at the warehouse.

A few women were taking entire cardboard boxes of shoes and turning them over into their shopping bags. It was egregious, and I was so excited to watch the intervention. <br /><br />I, too, support only the ethical resale of J.Crew merch on Ebay, simply because it affords me access to the quality of past seasons that is often discussed on this blog. I also sell my JCrew closet "orphans" and hope that the items go to happy homes.

So I was curious about that phenomenon and called up. The person I spoke to said they're getting more in so that's why it doesn't register there is only a few left when you 'tap' on the size on the main page that you order from.

There is a $500 limit when you go through the line, so i have seen kids who can't be older than 8 or 9 checking out and paying for bags of merchandise (usually the high selling shoes), so that the parents can bypass the the max spending limit. There is supposed to be a policy where J Crew can refuse to sell to these people if it looks like they are buying to resell; however, I have never seen them refuse to sell. It's very obvious who the resellers are. They work in teams and go off of lists to collect the most sought after merchandise. It is disgusting!

There are only two that I know of - I have never been to the one in Arden but I frequently stop in at the one in Lynchburg. Not only is it literally in the same building as the main distribution center, the SAs wear J Crew tags, they have the latest style guides, & I have always used my J Crew credit card there.<br /><br />As far as the eBay resellers - I am definitely not opposed to buying off eBay. I've scored tons of great J Crew items over the past several years. I just straight-up refuse to buy from any local sellers who have a massive amount of things to sell, in all different sizes, as I know they've gone to the clearance store to purchase at rock-bottom prices to turn around & try to make a huge profit. One of the SAs told me once that this was completely not allowed but they didn't know how to stop it. <br /><br />...or maybe I am just bitter that they're selling a pair of Martina wedges for $150 in my size when I could have picked them up myself at the clearance store for $30! :)Taylorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16322267786359745522noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1317882250647868056.post-13884377582286779542015-09-03T21:05:14.937-04:002015-09-03T21:05:14.937-04:00Thank you!
