Man still no catalog. Now I want it just out of principle. It's just plain rude.Originally Posted by Newstyle
The catalog for the last few month has been crap. Nothing in there you haven't seen.

Why do you guys buy J Crew online anyway? If you wait 1 or 2 more weeks, J Crew will have a bunch of staple items on sale. The online section will have their fake sales, while the B&M stores will start putting items on the clearance rack.

Maybe, somebody with a student discount card should start proxying J Crew items.
If you live in a low or non sales tax state you could make a killing.

Just did some math...
An order of 3 $65 shirts from the J Crew site comes out to $228.92 after shipping and tax in California. Buying the same 3 shirts at a J Crew B&M with a student discount card in a state with no sales tax is $165.75. A savings of $63.17!
After taking out the $12 for flat rate USPS shipping, there is about $50 of savings that could be split between the proxier and buyer.

Even with 1 $65 shirt you could make some money
$82.11 with shipping and tax in California.
$55.25 with student ID in state with no sales tax.
Shipping for 1 shirt will be like $6 giving the proxier and buyer more than $20 to split between them.
Somebody needs to start a Shadow J Crew online store now.

I have to order the online stuff. Tall stuff is not carried in stores.

PSA: 25 percent off all outerwear at my nearby b&m, which doesn't carry collabs. Should be the case at most b&m's.

Very small men's section at the only B&M location within 2 hours of me.

As far as I know the student discount is only 15% and they don't apply it to shipping. The states we'd have to find with college students and without J. Crew stores to dodge sales tax would be: Idaho, Arizona, North Dakota, South Dakota, or Arkansas.
Good idea bro but the probability would be slim.
