J.Crew's Final Sale Expected To Return In Jan '09

J.Crew's current sale (both online and in-stores) is *not* "final" (which means customers can return items under the normal return policy). {yey!} The decision behind this {wonderful} move is that J.Crew expects many items purchased during this {holiday} season to be gifts, which may need to be exchanged or returned by the recipients.

Some news to consider while we're still in the midst of our holiday shopping... As many of you have mentioned, the non-final sale is expected to last for a limited time. An associate (Anon at 12:22 AM in this post) stated that the "sale items are returnable through January 1, 2009". I was also told by an associate (at a store last weekend), that the final sale is expected to return after January 1st.

At least January 1st is a couple of weeks away, plenty of time to shop the sale with the option to return if necessary. :)
