Anthropologie’s latest email is a reminder: if you live in the United States, you have 5 days left to get free standard shipping on your online order of over $200. I personally have taken advantage twice and both orders went very smoothly.
One interesting thing I noticed: my first order was large items and it shipped via UPS. But my second order was pretty small and shipped via USPS. I don’t mind either way and this is pretty common for smaller to mid-sized retailers. It was much harder to track the USPS package though; the two statuses were pretty much in transit and delivered.
Have you taken advantage of the free shipping offer? Do you plan to?
would love to know what you bought in your two shipments?were they for you or for others?i heart anthro.
Let's see…I bought the Vaquero Boots, 4 sets of Dandelion Greens Flatware, the Travertine Ring (which was beautiful but I returned it because it was too big on me), the Finishing Touch necklace, the Quiet Mirth top, the Ease & Glee sweatercoat (also returned, the red was not the shade I thought it would be) and the Follow-the-Leader cardigan. Some of that stuff was gifts, some for me. =) Did you order anything Cali Girl?
I used it three times. I kept: two pairs of Nelly shoes (one red, one dark grey), the tranquil pool sweater coat, a sweater dress ornament in grape (bought on sale), and a dress form ornament in pink (also on sale).I returned: buckle and sway skirt in grey (too light a grey, I have the black which I love and that is plenty); curl and twirl sweater in green, august tee in purple (just did not fit tright), literary foil tee (too small), and rismal sweetheart tee (just did not lay right). I am glad to have an Anthro ten minutes from my house so I can do returns. They know me by name there. I usually need to order online because I sometimes need a XL or 14 and my store rarely carries these sizes. I wish they had a "red phone" like J.Crew does so I would not have to pay shipping if ordering from the store!
I also wanted to say that I like it when Anthro ships using USPS. That way you have an extra day to get the package, since USPS does Saturday delivery, while UPS does not.Also, I am glad they have such a nice return policy. It makes the return process so much more pleasant at the store (J.Crew could learn a lesson here).
i've purchased the remember me surplice, inland more v-neck (pink), ribbons and ridges cardi (ivory), chilled sunburst scarf, site reading cardigan, and frosted meadow cardigan.i'm returning the scrollwork blouse (love the color/design, dislike the way it fits in the bust, poofs out like a maternity top and is too short for my torso) and the blured fields v-neck (this one is hard for me. i love it! but it looks terrible on… even with a sweater it makes my long torso look short and chubby.)i have made a point to stay away from the store the last two weekends, but today i'm going to exchange the two tops. hopefully for the quiet mirth top and something else… 🙂 unless something on my wish list (paiva top, one hundred summits dress) goes on sale i probably won't buy again online.
Jacquelyn,I was in an Anthro a few weeks ago and wanted a necklace they were out of. They didn't do this before, but they offered to call CS while I was in the store and order the items and it would be free shipping (didn't end up doing it). I know they do this for b/w store search shipments, but this was the first I heard about actually calling CS/warehouse. You should check on this at your store.
