Suitsupply NYC

[ultramantaro]

Most of the better deals are gone by now after another brief restock late last night (early morning today) I caved and bought the Jort Bamboo jacket - appears to be a great fabric for hotter weather so that can be my go to summer jacket. Can't pass it up for $125 for a fully canvassed option.

oh we can just post directly in this thread for sales? selling these 4: jackets in 36s, peacoats in 36. selling at cost (add in tax, shipping and any paypal fees). PM me

Funny how on the website the suit is beautifully presented and when one wants to sell on it looks like a horrible baggy suit from the 90s

That seems like a completely flawed system. The local staff gets no benefit from all the online sales, but get hit with a penalty on returns? This is perhaps why, in the U.S. at least, they have moved to a "final sale" approach, to prevent people from returning large quantities of items.

By the way, does anyone know what SuitSupply does with returns of custom made items? Do they leave enough allowances, to reconfigure it for a regular sale?

Well, buying final sale in suitsupply is very risky because of Inconsistent fits. So they tweak a retarded system by penalizing the customer. Hmm...
Kind of glad I was left out of this outlet being in Canada. Spent way too much during the last one anyways.

While we are talking about buying/selling things...

I am looking for this Jort Merano or similar Merano coats in a 40/42R. Let me know if anyone has one for sale.

Small trivia, if you return in the shop, the sales rep that processes the returns will take the hit on his account. Which means if you return 1000 Euros worth of stuff and he sold 500 that day, he will end up with -500

In simple terms, you screw their KPI

@Noblekostas Wait a sec... So a Suitsupply sales rep. cannot earn a commission for online Outlet sales, but processing a return from the Outlet can reduce their commission?! Doesn’t seem like a fair system.

 

[EthansAlley]

what does everyone suggest as the best way to sell the items from the outlet that didn't work out? i'm willing to sell it at cost (factoring in tax and shipping)

@ScofieldReturns eBay is the best. Suitsupply moves faster on eBay than the other platforms. I’ve sold several Suitsupply items on eBay, Grailed, and Poshmark, but I’ve gotten the fastest sales, highest dollar, and most interest on eBay.

They do earn commissions in the USA. To be fair, we were paid monthly in Stockholm and it was a good salary. I earned 3500-3800$ per month before taxes, higher than my engineering job with a master and 3 languages...

So tried to buy a last item that appeared yesterday, but after paying I get a notice that the order was canceled but that my order is under processing. The money was taken from my card but no mail from SS... Hmm....

Is this a normal salary for those type of jobs in Stockholm ?
Or did they ask for some type of certificate etc. ?

Because I would have guessed that the people working there wouldn't make more than 2000!

Guess I should drop out

You have to factor in that Sweden has some of the highest taxes in the world which is probably why the income was so high to begin with.

Making more than a master's degree water engineer? Right. The reason for this was mostly the ungodly overtime hours. Taxes here are fine. 2700-2800$ gross is more than enough for a good life.

Edit: They hired me as part time, then made me work full time + and I also didn't get the benefits of full-timers. The "boss" also wrote on the termination letter of another female employee that she is "resigning" instead. Small stories from every day life

Not to derail the thread but taxes in Sweden are draconic.

I am fine with them, though I was ready to move my company to Prague it becomes ridiculous after a certain yearly amount. It’s not worth earning more than 4-4.5k here per month. Back to the thread though in a way it’s relevant to SuSu

For anyone curious how the Light Grey Cashmere DB Overcoat looks in real life. The fabric is divine for the 250$ I paid last outlet. I also have it in blue.

Edit: Here's the Navy one too from last year
