I almost didn't order it, but then I thought, "What's another hundred dollars when you're ordering all this other stuff?" True. So much will go back, I might as well just get the mother lode! The main thing I like about it is its boxy shape. I'm hoping it will work with some orphaned shorter skirts that are very straight, as well as a couple of straight-cut maxis.</p> <p><b>Windchime</b>, I'm glad you had a good experience at your Anthro! For some reason, the one by me isn't very good. It's full of the most shapeless and boring pieces! But the SAs are excellent and very helpful. I just wish they had more of a variety in-store. I'm hoping that the CPW on what I keep&nbsp;will go way down also. I really don't mind paying full price if something really makes my heart sing, because I know I'll wear it into the ground.</p> <p><b>Aubergine</b>, I know what you mean about missing the window for a price adjustment. I would have waited on these tops, but I am *so* low on tops that it's not even funny. Since I have to have petite sizes, I'm horribly limited, which leads me to buying the same stuff all the time (BR, AT, Loft). I'm excited about the Oakdale tunic...I have wanted a tunic for a long time but could never find one. I'm hoping this one will be a keeper...and that it will go on sale within 14 days, ha ha!</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/does-anthro-have-many-sales#post-1291769 Mon, 30 Jun 2014 23:36:23 +0000 Anonymous 1291769@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, Gigi! Maybe I should consider just paying full price, but I know it would go on sale right after the window for price adjustment closes&nbsp;just to spite me.&nbsp;</p> <p>I love what you picked out! Especially the Oakdale tunic.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/does-anthro-have-many-sales#post-1291628 Mon, 30 Jun 2014 20:28:06 +0000 Windchime 1291628@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Those are gorgeous, Gigi! I know what you mean about sometimes wanting something a bit more unique. I went into my first Anthropologie store last January and loved it. I was looking for a shirt to layer under a blazer. The S.A. was extremely helpful, and an hour later I was the happy owner of a silky black tank by Deletta. Cost per wear is already way down because I keep finding opportunities to wear it.<br /> You will definitely have Christmas in July when your order arrives! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/does-anthro-have-many-sales#post-1291620 Mon, 30 Jun 2014 20:14:02 +0000 lyn* 1291620@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I LOVE your Anthro finds!!! That heart sweater is SO CUTE, I have a similar one but it's kinda stretched out now (bought it in medical school) from Forever21, but hopefully the Anthro one will last you!</p> <p>I also love the Ismay button down despite the fact I don't like button downs ... but there's something a bout this one I love!</p> <p>Can't wait for them to come! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/does-anthro-have-many-sales#post-1291617 Mon, 30 Jun 2014 20:08:39 +0000 Gigi 1291617@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>OK, I've attached my finds to this post. I tried to attach them last night, but my computer was on the fritz—too many tabs open in Anthro—and the Find button thingie wouldn't pull from Anthro. A couple of them I ordered in more than one color because I was concerned about see-through. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/does-anthro-have-many-sales#post-1291566 Mon, 30 Jun 2014 19:25:51 +0000 Gigi 1291566@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Aubergine, neat jacket! That would look great on you. Two months seems like a long time to wait for a sale...hope it comes through by the time the weather turns colder. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/does-anthro-have-many-sales#post-1291383 Mon, 30 Jun 2014 14:33:10 +0000 JayS 1291383@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Glad you were able to get what you wanted. It is much easier to return than mourn the fact that it is no longer available. Hope everything works for you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/does-anthro-have-many-sales#post-1291330 Mon, 30 Jun 2014 12:20:55 +0000 Anonymous 1291330@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Good luck! Hope a bunch of what you&nbsp;ordered works out for you.</p> <p>I've been waiting for this jacket thingy to go on sale for probably around two months, but it's <i>still</i> not happening. I do like how having it in&nbsp;Finds is making it easier for me to check on it every so often. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/does-anthro-have-many-sales#post-1291185 Mon, 30 Jun 2014 04:58:08 +0000 Gigi 1291185@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for the enabling, Lyn, ha ha! If anyone sees my credit card, I will just tell them that a doctor prescribed the order. :)</p> <p>I'm so desperate for some fluid tops that I felt that I had to make the plunge. (Everything I ordered was a top.)&nbsp;I hate it when my size gets sold out! And I am tired of the standard fare—BR, AT, Loft. I need something that is a little interesting. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/does-anthro-have-many-sales#post-1291179 Mon, 30 Jun 2014 04:47:40 +0000 lyn* 1291179@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Phew, good thing you ordered! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/does-anthro-have-many-sales#post-1291178 Mon, 30 Jun 2014 04:39:12 +0000 Gigi 1291178@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>OK, I tried the stock thing you mentioned, Jay. I ordered 14 items, and 6 of them have less than 10 in stock. One of these had only 1 in stock, because after I placed my order, the item read "Out of Stock" on my wish list. So that makes me feel better about ordering now too! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/does-anthro-have-many-sales#post-1291174 Mon, 30 Jun 2014 04:24:51 +0000 Gigi 1291174@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Jay, I cross-posted with you! Ha ha. Great tip about the stock! I should check it out on what I just ordered.</p> <p>I am already signed up for Anthro...I signed up during my birthday month, which was May. So I'll have a long time to wait! The discount is still 15%. I ordered a skirt. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/does-anthro-have-many-sales#post-1291173 Mon, 30 Jun 2014 04:24:47 +0000 lyn* 1291173@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Anytime, Gigi! :)&nbsp;</p> <p>Send me a message if you need anything else! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/does-anthro-have-many-sales#post-1291171 Mon, 30 Jun 2014 04:22:39 +0000 Gigi 1291171@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I just did the deed! (Not sure if or )</p> <p>I wonder if my credit card company will call me suspecting fraud. That has happened a few times with some large purchases, ha ha.</p> <p>Wow, it would be discouraging to have shipping start at $20. We have a lot of perks in the US when it comes to retail, I've learned!</p> <p>I did discover a helpful tip in reading the EA blog. Someone in the comments talked about monitoring stock through the "Saved for Later" option that you get to in the shopping basket. If you mark something in the basket as "Saved for Later" but it is almost out of stock, a note will occur on the "Saved for Later" page saying only a few are left. That was the case with the item I was stalking. Everything else must have plenty of stock left. But I want everything at once so that I can try it all on and compare. And assuming there is the July 4 sale, I should be able to get a price adjustment. And I'm not going to be keeping all of it anyway. I don't mind paying full price for a few items that really work well for me. If I wait too long, there won't be enough summertime left to wear some of the items. It's all such a gamble and a guessing game.</p> <p>I wish I could model my new fab finds for you...I hope to be able to post some WIWs by the end of this year (I don't post any now). Hopefully I will have a camera by then, and some outfits that I feel are "me."</p> <p>Thanks for the tips and support, everyone! (Especially you, Lyn!) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/does-anthro-have-many-sales#post-1291158 Mon, 30 Jun 2014 04:06:27 +0000 JayS 1291158@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Anthro lover here...if you sign up for the Anthro card, you get 15% off of a purchase during your birthday month. It may have been reduced to 10%..not sure. Also, a little secret... to find out if they are getting low on something you want, try putting 10 or however many into your shopping cart. If they don't have that many, it will let you know. Good luck! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/does-anthro-have-many-sales#post-1291133 Mon, 30 Jun 2014 03:35:57 +0000 lyn* 1291133@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow; Gigi! *hugs*&nbsp;</p> <p>Anthro isn't supposed to be stressful - although it is usually stressful to the guys who are in there and look quite lost!</p> <p>That shipping isn't too bad; shipping&nbsp;<i>starts</i> at $20 for me :p</p> <p>I can't wait to see you model your new fab finds! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/does-anthro-have-many-sales#post-1291127 Mon, 30 Jun 2014 03:17:43 +0000 Gigi 1291127@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hmm...the stuff hasn't been in my cart for a while. I just put it in today. So I really have no idea how new the items are.</p> <p>I will say that I have been stalking&nbsp;one of the items. It was out in my size and now it is back in. So I assume there was a return. If I wait for a sale, I will probably lose it. I suppose I could buy just&nbsp;it now and wait on the other stuff. But I hate to possibly lose out on some HEWIs that I've found.</p> <p>Meka, it's a good idea to call with my order, but it's quite large and will take some time to do over the phone. And I don't have the stamina to deal with that (I have a lot of fatigue due to health issues). Luckily, the shipping charge seems to top out at 15.95, so I'll probably just deal with it.</p> <p>If I've ordered the stuff already&nbsp;and it goes on sale for the Fourth of July, hopefully I can get the promotional price. If they won't do it, I can always do my own order online a second time to get the sale price and then return my original items in-store.&nbsp;</p> <p>Ugh, so difficult! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/does-anthro-have-many-sales#post-1291122 Mon, 30 Jun 2014 03:07:55 +0000 Diana 1291122@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What Lyn said. In my experience most things either sell out, like, immediately, or they go on sale. If it's been in your cart for a while and hasn't sold out, you're probably relatively safe waiting for first cuts (unless something shows up on a popular blogger or something like that...). You sometimes have to be quick with the sale stuff though. </p> <p>Anthro is not like gap/Ann Taylor/BR etc that has discount codes virtually every week. It's usually just regular and sale section, with a couple of bigger sale events each year. If you sign up on the site, sometimes they have free shipping promos. Their return policy is very good in my experience. I always return in store. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/does-anthro-have-many-sales#post-1291120 Mon, 30 Jun 2014 03:05:19 +0000 Meka 1291120@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You could call with your order and ask for free shipping if your order doesn't qualify. That worked for me and I has never ordered from the website/over the phone before. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/does-anthro-have-many-sales#post-1291117 Mon, 30 Jun 2014 03:00:13 +0000 lyn* 1291117@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, yeah, Anthro isn't like J Crew that does 40% off all new stuff!!!!! </p> <p><i>There&nbsp;could&nbsp; be a fourth of july sale though...</i> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/does-anthro-have-many-sales#post-1291108 Mon, 30 Jun 2014 02:47:41 +0000 Gigi 1291108@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Dang, Lyn, you have this down to a science! Thanks for the link to the EA site; it was very informative. And I am in the U.S., so I don't need to worry about duties.</p> <p>So if I'm understanding right, Anthro normally doesn't have a site-wide sale ("20% off everything"), just the cuts. I like your idea of holding on to the item until you need it and possibly getting it cheaper a couple of months later. Some of my items are out-of-season, so that will work.(There is an Anthro store about twenty minutes from me, so I can return without too much hassle.)</p> <p>I just checked the Anthro website, and it says that they will offer a one-time price adjustment for items that go on sale within 14 days of your shipment. That's a pretty decent window. That means some of my stuff will most likely get marked down and I can recoup a bit of what I spent.</p> <p>A lot of the items I am ordering are to try to help me wear some near orphans, so I hate to wait and risk them getting sold out in my size (which goes quickly). Knowing that I can get the price adjustment if a sale does occur, and with your strategy of holding on to something until I really need to wear it, I think I will go ahead and buy.&nbsp;</p> <p>My poor credit card...I have never ordered this much clothing at one time in my life. Very scary, even though I know half of it (at least) will probably be returned! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/does-anthro-have-many-sales#post-1291096 Mon, 30 Jun 2014 02:18:51 +0000 lyn* 1291096@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love Anthro; most of their stuff does go on sale (usually every monday there is new stuff, or every second monday stuff goes to "FRESH CUTS" which is their 1st tier of sale; things are usually 15-30% off. "SECOND CUTS" is when things go to 40 or 50% off; "THIRD CUTS" is when something is 75% or so off), but once in awhile there'll be something that will be SUPER DUPER POPULAR and will sell out right away - these are usually the basics: a nice simple navy dress, for example, or something with really quirky prints that hipsters like (bicycles, for example).</p> <p>Anthro has an&nbsp;<i>excellent</i> return policy, especially if you live near a store. If you have something you like, I'd say by all means buy it, and just keep it until you figure you might wear it. I've returned things with a receipt about 6 months after I've bought it, so don't worry about that end too much. And if you see that it's on sale, you can always buy one on sale and take the one that you haven't worn back to the store (and the original price receipt).&nbsp;<i>-- I am totally guilty of this; my black stretchy dress I bought for $100 originally (marked down from $160), then held on to it, and it marked down to $59, then to $39.&nbsp;</i></p> <p>I don't remember if you're a Canuck - but the duties aren't too bad, because they actually declare the country of manufacture. If it's made in the USA, the duties aren't very much; and they often split up the packages to ship to you.</p> <p>I hope that helps you. </p> <p>ETA: Here's a blogger who explains it better than I do -&nbsp;<a rel="nofollow" href="http://effortlessanthropologie.blogspot.ca/2010/11/deciphering-mysterious-anthropologie.html">http://effortlessanthropologie.....logie.html</a></p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/does-anthro-have-many-sales#post-1291090 Mon, 30 Jun 2014 02:06:03 +0000 Thistle 1291090@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>There is no Anthro in my state, so I am not sure. I know several ladies do shop there, so I hope one of them chime in! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/does-anthro-have-many-sales#post-1291060 Mon, 30 Jun 2014 01:30:20 +0000 Gigi 1291060@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am wanting to order a lot of stuff online from Anthro (trying new silhouettes, and I'm not sure what will work—so shopping cart is overfull, ugh), and most of it is full price. Does anyone know (e.g., Lyn* ) whether it is worth waiting for a sale or some kind of free shipping promo? My recollection, although I'm not a frequent Anthro shopper, is that sales are few and far between. My size is never well stocked, so if I wait too long, I will probably lose some of my items as sold out.</p> <p>Thanks! I love being able to count on YLF! </p>
