I guess the Canada stores have a different policy. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/thumbs-up-for-jcrew-style-consultants-plus-jcrew-blazer-came#post-677822 Wed, 25 Jul 2012 17:02:26 +0000 rae 677822@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>How wonderful!

I had a consultant help me with sizes and colors for a pricey J. Crew winter coat. She also helped me find a deal, that combined with an existing offer, made the coat almost 50% off. Now that's top-notch customer service! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/thumbs-up-for-jcrew-style-consultants-plus-jcrew-blazer-came#post-677809 Wed, 25 Jul 2012 16:53:54 +0000 rachylou 677809@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That's cool, Elisabeth! I shall have to keep this in mind that they have such consultants. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/thumbs-up-for-jcrew-style-consultants-plus-jcrew-blazer-came#post-677801 Wed, 25 Jul 2012 16:50:27 +0000 Aziraphale 677801@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Jem, unfortunately you cannot return a web-only item (so, all their petite stuff) to the store; you have to ship it back at your own expense. For items that they do carry in the brick and mortar stores, I'm not sure. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/thumbs-up-for-jcrew-style-consultants-plus-jcrew-blazer-came#post-677775 Wed, 25 Jul 2012 16:31:05 +0000 Jem 677775@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for sharing your great experience with J Crew! I hope they put one by me one of these days. It's great to hear about the free shipping to Canada. Can you also do returns in the store or do you have to ship it back to the US? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/thumbs-up-for-jcrew-style-consultants-plus-jcrew-blazer-came#post-677769 Wed, 25 Jul 2012 16:27:38 +0000 Suz 677769@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That's fantastic news, Elisabeth! Especially for those of us in Canada. So glad you got your perfect blazer, and thank you for sharing the information about the process. I can tell a few of us may be following your example! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/thumbs-up-for-jcrew-style-consultants-plus-jcrew-blazer-came#post-677759 Wed, 25 Jul 2012 16:13:45 +0000 Aziraphale 677759@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Rachylou: Apparently so. When I walked into the store and asked for help with petite sizing, the sales assistant I spoke to said that it's best to work with a style consultant. She said they usually have at least one style consultant on the floor every day, sometimes two, and that you can make appointments with them. Then she disappeared and came back with one, and he helped me pick the right jacket. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/thumbs-up-for-jcrew-style-consultants-plus-jcrew-blazer-came#post-677758 Wed, 25 Jul 2012 16:13:24 +0000 Angie 677758@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That's GREAT, Elisabeth! You battled with blazers for a while and I am thrilled that you found one that makes your heart sing. Enjoy!

So happy for you. Great customer service experience - it amkes all the difference! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/thumbs-up-for-jcrew-style-consultants-plus-jcrew-blazer-came#post-677696 Wed, 25 Jul 2012 15:08:49 +0000 Aziraphale 677696@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I've wanted a gray wool blazer for several years now. I own no blazers at all because, being very petite, I have a hard time finding tailored garments that fit. Then, because of a suggestion on YLF, I discovered that not only do we have a jcrew store in town, but they offer petites (although they don't carry petite sizes in their actual stores). There's ALWAYS stuff at jcrew that I like, so I immediately went to the website and checked it out. To my delight, they had the perfect gray blazer. Two weeks ago I went to our one and only jcrew store and one of their "style consultants" helped me with sizing. I tried on a bunch of regular sizes, and based on that he advised me to order a specific petite size. </p> <p>Late yesterday afternoon, it finally came. And ladies (especially those of you who, like me, must order specialty sizes), it fit like it was MADE FOR ME. This sort of thing is very exciting for me, since it so rarely happens! So I thought I'd just pass on the info about the jcrew style consultants, in case you didn't know about them, because they really can help you get it right before you make a web order. This is the main reason I don't generally order off websites: I have a hard time selecting the correct size, and shipping to and from Canada is expensive. (Plus I'm allergic to the actual process of returning things). I imagine they can help with other things, too, and apparently you can make an appointment with one ahead of time. Not as good as bringing Angie along with you, but we can't all do that. ;-)</p> <p>ETA: Also, if you go to a jcrew store and they place your order for you, shipping is free. Even to Canada. Bonus! </p>
