this isn't typical at all. I do know that during major sales, their shipping can be slower because of the higher volume, but even still it's not 2 weeks.

Why haven't you called?

it's been one week. it took 4 days to get a shipped email, and 3 days afterwards still no movement on the UPS page except for a shipping label creation. i just thought this may have been typical of their online site, as i've never shopped with them before. definitely getting in touch with their customer service now. thanks!

I have the same thing going on as well, I assume they just saw a huge increase and can't keep up.

I'm just being patient and hoping it comes before my 2nd interview next week because I want to wear one of the suiting skirts.

That's weird. I ordered a sale suiting piece last week and it shipped really quickly.

I had a problem like this one time and the package had just gotten lost or something in their warehouse. I had to call CS 3 or 4 times to get it straightened up. They pretty much told me every time if you haven't gotten it in 6 days or whatever it is they say standard shipping is then call, and if not we can't help you. SO frustrating.

They also had a number of popular mall stores (Gap, H&M, Ann Taylor & Coldwater Creek) and looked at their size 12 pant. There was a 5" variation in the waist sizes from the stores. The most TTS was H&M but Gap had the largest waist and Coldwater Creek the smallest.

No freaking way. A 5" variation? that is crazy!

I was having a hard time choosing sizes during the final sale too. I ended up ordering stuff that I already had, just in different colors. I was totally stressing and didn't know what sizes to order. Oh the pressure of shopping fast!

If you guys are thinking of making purchases (especially from the new collection), please PM me. My SA is having an event and today is the last day. I'll PM you the event details and her contact info.

I ordered my items 7/23 and on 7/27 they said my order was shipped, but the tracking just said that the shipping label was created. I'll probably just call on wednesday if I still haven't received it. So frustrating because theyre usually so fast, and one of my friends purchased one item and received it right away.

So this is a general question...

Why is there a discrepancy in the discount % between the different B&M stores? For example, Stanford Palo Alto store is having an additional 30% off sale items promo, while Valley Fair San Jose store is having an additional 40% off sale items promo. It makes for a slightly frustrating shopping experience when I see the same item I bought a day before is lower priced at another store.

Anyway, guess I should've done my homework before I went buying "final sale" at the stores!

Ummmm....So, I'm not feeling a lot of the stuff I wanted online, IRL *sigh*

Today, I had a chance to view more of the new fall stuff and the Schoolboy blazer is very, very cheap looking (I've seen better quality at H&M) so that's a no-go in the red.
The wool capri's material felt a little hard to me. My B&M had the black and camel (maybe the colored pants feel different).

I'm in love with the leopard boy shirt-my B&M didn't have my size. It's going to be a hot seller. I saw a few women grab it first.

The cords are cute (loving the ones with the zipper at the bottom of the leg).

My B&M didn't have any of the colored double serge wool skirts *bummer* so I didn't get a chance try one on.

I like the Blythe blouse in the teal color (nice for the fall especially paired with navy or gray). It's on my list.

The leopard skirt was such a bummer (I really wanted that skirt*sigh*) anyway, it looks like its been washed. It has a grayish overcast to it. The skirt and the shirt are different. Maybe on a final sale but otherwise, it's a no.

Basically, I don't feel the desire to go crazy. I will, however, look for that leopard boy shirt. I didn't get a thing this time.

Thanks for the reviews - yellow08. I have the Blythe in ivory and it's the kind of blouse you could do in every color - IMO it will never go in or out of fashion, and it's made well.

I wish J.Crew would do a wishlist feature on the website so I could save things and transfer them to my cart when I'm ready. Shopbop does this, and they even send out low inventory and sale alerts for my wishlist items. It's a nice service and it does get me to buy. Now, I just make a Word Document with the item numbers and descriptions so I can plan my strategy.

Actually that is a great idea! I use the dreambox on Yoox and really love it. I wish all sites had it, especially j crew.
