You make good points, but I’m just not even going into UPS stores (or any retail stores) at this time, unless it’s necessary for my job. I have to be in contact with a few very high-COVID-risk people, so I just don’t risk anything at all that is non-essential as a result. The other week I had such an urge to go browsing in an actual mall, though! I can’t wait for that vaccine. And I know UPS has a thing where they can come to your door, but I’ve been super busy at work and haven’t really looked into that. I guess I could for a $130 price difference ....

Anyway, the Cassie really hadn’t been on my radar, but I really like the structured and simple elegance of it. And I’m obsessed with exterior back pockets on bags. When I do go out, I really love having an easy place to slip my phone.

I totally understand. The trip to Coach was a rare trip into the "gen-pop" for me. I went late in the evening on a week night and was the only one in the store which is located right near the entrance at my local mall. I think UPS charges a home delivery pickup fee, I imagine under $10 but I'm not sure. The box would probably be too big to put in a dropbox. If they pickup where you work, you could always try to slide your package in that way.
I never used crossbody bags, all my bags are shoulder or hand carry. I've started to realize the benefits of having a crossbody bag so I don't have to put it down in shopping carts or find a spot to put it down at doctor's appointments. Even at full price or other sale prices they've had, it's still a great bag and the style will be around forever. I think it's a good investment whatever you decide to do.

I went kind of nuts on Black Friday on the Coach retail website and bought several items, including a black Cassie for $245. I didn’t realize that the black was (or was about to be) on the Outlet site for way cheaper. My retail website order has just been shown as “processing” since last Friday. In ordinary times, I might consider trying to place an Outlet order and just return the retail bag (if it ever even ships: I’ve had a couple of “processing” orders go cancelled this autumn), but with COVID rampant and my avoiding non-essential trips outside the house, I just don’t have the energy for it.

I don't blame you. I find when there are a lot of packages and processes going so slow this time of year, it sometimes is more of a hassle. In the end if I save money on a bag I am happy. I try to not get involved in the compare game when others saved more...it is hard but down the road I usually don't remember the exact price I paid for a bag, just that I love it.

I found one yesterday when I did a Google search on coach outlet. The image showed up in the search for $105. My order was processed and shows processing. That doesn't mean anything either;, some of orders were actually sent out and already received by me.
I had come across the posts on this elusive Cassie after the fact. But question is: has anyone actually received these bags?
As an aside, I had placed an order on the Coach web site for another bag that was part of the sale and it went through the outlet and I received this brand new bag from an outlet. Was a bit confused, but his intermingling may be how the black Cassie migrated to the outlet side.
