Playing the Sale guessing game

Ah, it’s Monday night and you know what that means — time to guess which items will go on sale tomorrow. I have gotten hints about new sale additions tomorrow so I’m more optimistic than I was last week. Can’t say for sure which items will and won’t make it so I thought it would be fun to take some educated guesses. This post is no guarantee that any of these items will actually be on sale come tomorrow. What are you hoping to see? What do you think will/won’t go on sale?

    COME THE FLIP ON WRIGHT DRESS!!!And the aniseed skirt 🙂

  2. April 19, 2010 / 8:24 pm

    Oh I hope you are right! I could definitely use some PA's!

  3. April 19, 2010 / 8:28 pm

    Would love to see the Two Paths Trench go on sale, but I'm not holding my breath. Guess we'll see!

  4. April 19, 2010 / 8:31 pm

    Your list of picks hits the ones I personally think are most likely–Wright Dress (really, I mean it this time!), Openwork Vines Skirt, Snowmelt Cardi–but here's my personal wish list:–Field Game Cardi–Acting Out Skirt–Curio Collar JacketOf these three, I think I only maybe have a shot at the Field Game, and I think it's going to be hard to find in a navy small, but this one has been on my wishlist for eons, it seems.

  5. April 19, 2010 / 8:33 pm

    Come on Plaza Cardigan!

    I'd really like the Air Mail Skirt to go on sale; at this point, I don't even know if I'd want it anymore.

  8. April 19, 2010 / 8:35 pm

    fifth form shift please! it's been in the stores since JANUARY!

  9. April 19, 2010 / 8:37 pm

    I am hoping for the beribboned cardigan, and Hello Good Day Dress. I am sure there are more but those are my most wanted!

  10. April 19, 2010 / 8:43 pm

    Hoping for the State Fair Dress for a PA! 🙂

  11. April 19, 2010 / 8:44 pm

    Keeping my fingers crossed for the Openwork Vines skirt—if so, I can get a much-desired PA.

    For the sake of my budget, I hope nothing I want/need goes on sale…such as the Rushing Ruffles dress. I think the Torsade Tee will not hit sale due to it now being available in 2 new colors. I'm thinking maybe the Collected Calico and Grasslands dresses will go on sale.

    Sorry, but what is PA?

  15. April 19, 2010 / 8:54 pm

    Anon – PA is price adjustment. 🙂

  16. April 19, 2010 / 8:58 pm

    sub. I'm hoping that the airy eyelet skirt will get a 2nd cut. I know it just got marked down, but it isn't selling. At all. And I hope the tutu tank will go on sale.

  17. April 19, 2010 / 9:10 pm

    I also think the Blue Book blouse is about due for a cut.

    Has anyone else had trouble accessing the Anthro website today? I cleared all my cookies a couple of times, but still can't get in through the anthropologie.com link. It's better than it was this morning, when I couldn't get in at all. At least now I can access it through the back door, like clicking the "sale" link through Google. Other than that, I get the "we're dotting our i's and crossing our t's" message. Has anyone else ever had this? Do I need to call them?Thanks.

    I was in the Nashville, TN store this morning and if there is going to be more markdowns, I have no idea where they are going to put everything. The sale room was full and spilling out…Then again, some of the items on your guess list are sold out there or they only have one or two, so, that wouldn't take much room.

  29. April 19, 2010 / 10:11 pm

    In terms of dreaming: Around the World Dress, Zigzags and Zinnias tee and Speckled Ink Dress, plus a second mark down for the Bayan Dress (come on!).In reality: the Claudine tee! Best. Tee. Ever.Anyone who's tried on the Zigzags and Zinnias: what size should I get? I know some of you will have an idea from my blog, but I tend to wear small tees despite my, ahem, larger "bosom" – will that be an issue with this tee?

    I just bought the Covered in Cables Cardi this week. Price adjustment please!How long after a purchase do they do a PA?

  32. April 19, 2010 / 10:24 pm

    Anon @ 6:18 – you need to request a price adjustment, it is not something that is automatically triggered. You can ask for it as soon as an item is marked down.

  33. April 19, 2010 / 10:39 pm

    Man, I've lost all hope. That durn Aniseed skirt is NEVER FREAKIN GONNA GO ON SALE, haha. Noooo, it and it's little friend the Beribboned Buds cardi are gonna stay full priced for all eternity, mocking me 🙂

  34. April 19, 2010 / 10:39 pm

    i went a bit nutty this weekend in anticipation of a sale and bought several of the abovementioned items–hoping for a big time PA b/c i certainly can't keep it all!roxy, noticed you have the painter's skirt at the bottom of the list–i've had this on my wishlist for ages, but i don't recall if i ever saw it in store–was this a blink-and-miss-it item, or online only?

    I would love for the Winding Roads and Collected Leaves tanks to go on sale, however, I don't know how likely that is given that we are sliding into summer. Here's hoping though!

  39. April 19, 2010 / 10:56 pm

    Speaking of PAs, I had an awful experience last week when I called CS to ask for a PA on my Longing-For-Yellow Dress. The rep that I spoke with insisted that my dress had already received a PA (even though I ordered it 2 days before it went on sale) and was very dismissive when I tried to get some sort of confirmation for the amount that my credit card was charged.I called back today (after some urging from my boyfriend) and spoke with a wonderful CS rep who listened to my concerns and confirmed that I hadn't received the PA after all! Even though I was technically 1 day past the 14-day deadline, she decided to grant me the PA since I had received misinformation last week. How amazing is that?

  40. April 19, 2010 / 11:05 pm

    So as a former employee I should know this but I had really limited dealings with cs for my own personal reasons so I'm asking here. I purchased something in store and realized right on the 14th day I could get a PA but I wasn't going to be able to get to my store that's an hour away for a few days. So I called CS and they said they couldn't do PAs for store purchased over the phone. And then I called one store that I was doing a charge send from and asked them to do it and they said they don't dothat over the phone. I didn't feel like getting on my high horse, but I knew that wasn't true / she was misinformed. However is it correct that CS can't do PAs for store purchases?)

  41. April 19, 2010 / 11:08 pm

    P.S. I really hope that the Aniseed Skirt gets marked down tonight. I finally caved and bought it 10 days ago when I noticed that there was only 1 left in my size online. Even though it's out of my usual price range, I can't seem to bring myself to return it. Please help make this decision easier, Anthro!

  42. April 19, 2010 / 11:17 pm

    Lauren – I've had similar experiences with charge-send PAs. I always call the store where I did the charge send. I would estimate that 3 times out of 4, the SA says "no problem" and just handles it over the phone. If the SA tries to tell me that they can't do a PA over the phone, I explain that I live in New Hampshire and that there aren't any Anthropologie stores in my area (the Anthro store closest to my house is >140 miles away). At that point, the SA usually puts a store manager on the phone and then things get sorted out. As long as you have the original receipt, they should be able to do the PA over the phone.

  43. April 19, 2010 / 11:20 pm

    Lauren – Oops, I realized that I didn't really answer the question in my previous post. I'm pretty sure that CS can't do PAs for in-store purchases or charge-send purchases over the phone. Every time I've asked CS about it, they've always referred me to the store that I purchased the item from.

    if you have an anthro card, do you still need the receipt? i thought the whole idea of the anthro card was so that you wouldnt need to save the receipts b/c they can look up your order history on their computers using your anthro card?

  45. April 19, 2010 / 11:42 pm

    stef – I have yet to see the Painter's Work Skirt in-store.delipickle – you are correct, though I just had an awful experience this past weekend trying to return a mail-order item that I'd misplaced the receipt for. It really depends on the SA you get.

  46. April 19, 2010 / 11:52 pm

    Thanks so much Lola!And delipickle, the anthro card is supposed to replace a receipt, but I'm kind of paranoid now because the last time I needed to use it, it couldn't find any transactions from any of the 3 weeks prior to that date even though my anthro card had gotten alot of use lol (free shipping was going on)!

  47. April 20, 2010 / 12:03 am

    I know that the Anthro card is supposed to replace receipts, but I haven't found that to be the case. There have been several situations where my items haven't shown up in my Anthro card history, even though I remember handing my Anthro card to the SA. I think it's a good last resort but I always try to save my receipts nowadays, just in case.

  55. April 20, 2010 / 1:35 am

    I'm DYING for the Aniseed skirt to go on sale!PS thanks for all the work you do on this blog!! You're a rockstar!

  56. April 20, 2010 / 1:35 am

    I've had great luck with the Anthro card personally. But I have noticed that occasionally it's worth checking that your name and address still come up when they scan it. There was a short period of time when mine wouldn't come up, and the PA said that it wouldn't properly note the purchase. So she re-entered it, and since then, it has worked very well for me. But I've made extra sure to keep the tags on until I'm absolutely sure I'm keeping something for good. I have had cases where I lost the receipt but the tags were still on and they had no problem taking it back.

  57. April 20, 2010 / 1:37 am

    I wish I could go all out tonight and buy everything I've been waiting for. So here I am, trying to decide between the Aniseed Skirt, Meribboned Buds Cardi, Around the World Dress, Slate Stripes Shift, and a few others. Oye. Question: Just for future reference. Can you get a PA through CS if you buy an item online? Or can you only get PA's for in-store purchases?

  58. April 20, 2010 / 1:39 am

    *Beribboned – sorry, one handed typing. Got my 2 month old on my other arm.But i'm sure you all knew what I meant anyway. 🙂

  59. April 20, 2010 / 1:42 am

    aimee, I got a PA a few weeks ago on an item I'd ordered on-line. CS told me it would take a few days to show up on my card, though.

  60. April 20, 2010 / 1:55 am

    Sorry, but what does "sub" mean? I see it all the time but have no idea what it means! a comment here, to my blog or to my email (hollyn.m.michaels@gmail) would be so helpful. Sorry I am such a dork!

    If a $48 Anthro tee goes on sale, would it be $19.95 or $29.95?

  62. April 20, 2010 / 2:09 am

    Thanks Lauren! Good to know! 🙂 A $48 item will be marked down to $29.95.

  63. April 20, 2010 / 2:20 am

    Anon at 10:01It'd most likely be $29.95 for first cut. Anthro only occasionally goes beyond the 40-50% off for the first round of markdowns.

    Dear Free Flow Tank, my wardrobe needs you. Please go on sale. I would also looooooooove for the Field Game Cardigan and the Windcatcher Dress to go on sale.

  67. April 20, 2010 / 2:27 am

    Unfortunately, there are no free shipping codes right now. There was free shipping all through March if you were an Anthro card holder. But once April hit the free shipping went away.

  68. April 20, 2010 / 2:44 am

    Fingers crossed that a few Leifsdottir items make it to sale tomorrow! There are several items that I love that are close to selling out, and if they don't go on sale I'm going to have to makes some toughs decisions ("tough" of course being relative, but I know you all can relate).

  69. April 20, 2010 / 2:49 am
