Well said. totally agree on it all with you!I appreciate and have learned a lot about the craziness of Coach from you.
Thanks for the info.
In regard as to why Coach has the same item in retail and FOS/Outlets at the same time for different percentages, seems like something Coach would have to be asked. Like Crazyforcoach09, I’ll wait until it hits the outlet, because I too have learned that it all goes to the outlet.
Whoah lucky my outlet is either 50% or 60% never 70%70%. My wishlist always full when its 70%
I need to go visit this 70% retail outlets, man my outlet is stingy. Once a bag rang 60% instead of 50% and the manager blank point refused to honor the 60% needless to say I left with nothing. I wish my store had 70% but it has never , ever had 70% on retail deletesReally? My outlet has 70% off retail as well, they just do not get the good stuff like certain outlets, such as the bigger and higher tiered outlets. I just see some small Dreamers and very old Swagger crossbody bags at my outlet and some of the bags on FOS. Unfortunately, we do not get the newer stuff and they have stopped taking 'found orders' at both of my stores. Hope that helps.
Here's an example. 70 off at outlet, full price at coach.I know my outlet a lot of times gets items in that are also currently on sale at the retail stores. The ones that go to outlet get the current discount they are doing for outlet deletes, while the retail store is still priced at the retail discount. I think this is also true if your outlet does found orders - the items will get the outlet discount vs. the retail discount. It's always funny to visit my FP SA's store and see bags there for 50% that I just saw at the outlet for 70% off.
I think it depends on tier. Vegas North has by far the best selection I've seen, Orlando is hit or miss, St. Augustine is usually meh.I see this thread turned spicy.
It boils down to where you live and what your outlets receive. I can imagine outlets closer to Jax get all the good bags; where I live, I may not be as lucky.
I think it also depends on whether or not the store personnel are able AND willing to do found orders. I don't think all these bags are just sitting on a retail shelf in the outlets all the time. The two stores near me don't you found orders and if they do, they do it at the price that is at the retail store (i.e. 50%), not the 70% off outlet price. My wallet is likely better off for it!I think it depends on tier. Vegas North has by far the best selection I've seen, Orlando is hit or miss, St. Augustine is usually meh.

Yes! And depends if the person doing the found order knows what they're doing. My outlet(s) are willing, but a lot of the time the bag that is 50 off at retail is ringing up full price via outlet found. My successful transactions have always been when a manager rings me and overrides the price to match outlet discount. Earlier I tried to order a bag that someone else got at 70 and is 50 on retail and both outlets told me it was ringing full price.I think it also depends on whether or not the store personnel are able AND willing to do found orders.

I think there is a "how to" on the shopping coach forum, but essentially it's an order through a coach outlet store for a bag that was deleted and is either in Jax or another store. They should be able to pull the bag up in the system at the current discount. I've "found" a lot of bags that have been discontinued for months/years. Some are able to "find" bags that are freshly deleted. There is a $10 shipping charge per order.What is a "found order?"
I received the Tabby 20 as a Christmas gift - it is the absolute cutest bag and fits a lot!
I'm glad you posted the pics especially the Mango Riley! I'm interested. I'm not worried about it being 70% off. It just makes me think it may be time for me to start back at the outlets. I haven't gone in years. I used to go quite frequently and then became irritated and quite exhausted by it. But maybe a nice drive would be ok one day. Thanks for posting.
