"Thanks!" to Irina who shared the following email J.Crew sent today.The email announces J.Crew's new shipping fee structure: free shipping on orders of $175 without a code and flat-rate shipping of $8.95 for all orders underneath $175!
The verdict is out whether or not JCAs are excited about this change. From the comments in various posts, some JCAs are concerned that (1) the new shipping rates will reduce the number of promotions offering free shipping with lower minimums; (2) the minimum for free shipping is still too steep; and (3) the flat shipping rate of $9 is high for low purchase amounts.
Personally, I was all excited for J.Crew to introduce a flat-shipping rate. But I was hoping to see free shipping with a lower minimum (maybe over $125?)
On a bright note, at least J.Crew's flat shipping rate is similar to ordering $60 worth of merchandise from their old shipping chart (which is a fair amount to order). They could have easily chosen a higher flat shipping rate. I am grateful they did not. :)Also, J.Crew's standard shipping-delivery time is one of the best for online retailers. The turnaround from time of order to delivery at doorstep for me is very quick. (I cannot say the same thing for Gap, Inc., or Lands End Canvas, whose standard shipping times are much slower for me.)
