price adjustments question
Permalink Closed

how do you guys feel about these? it seems like every last thing i have bought to wear or as a gift in the last few months has gone on sale (significantly, like 50%) right after the 2 week price adjustment period ends.


example: today i got an e-mail from j. crew showing that the pants i bought for $100 are now $70.  it has been three weeks and i have already worn them once.  is it ridiculous to kind of want to go buy a new pair of them for $70 and then return them with the $100 receipt? is this type of thing even allowed? i don't want to be a jerk, but i feel like i've overspent by hundreds of dollars all season long :(

bumblebee - I think every store is different but why not give it a try? I posted on another thread that practically everything I've bought (full price damnit) from Girlshop has gone on sale about 2 days later. It's so annoying.

i think you should totally do it--that really does suck and it's not like you're wearing out the clothes and then returning them, the pants can be resold just fine so i wouldn't worry about it.

I would do it.  I don't do it too often mostly out of laziness but if it's more than $50 I'd probably make the effort.  If you're able to buy the exact same item in the same size and color for that price I see absolutely nothing wrong with it.  At this point the store is willing to take that much for the item anyway.

Don't feel bad. Think about what you can get with the $50!

I always do it. I just bought a jacket at BR that I got 3 weeks ago for $30 more to return at the regular price.
