$50 minimum for free shipping from almost all major clothing retailers. and no returns after you've worn it.


Not true. Jcrew Factory does $5 flat rate, or more frequently offers it free. A prepaid label is also provided with the shipment. And unlike Amazon, these clothes are not add-on or pantry-like items (i.e. need to spend some crazy amount of money to NOT pay for shipping, even with Prime), and won't be last-miled by their crappy service or Lasership.


J Crew charges for return shipping even when they ship out for free, just FYI. I'd consider that more of a problem than Amazon's $25 add-on program (which generally isn't relevant for clothing anyway).


> Not true. Jcrew Factory does $5 flat rate

Sure, cool, but that helps my original point.


last ditch effort from JCrew to make money, as they are really hurting right now. JCrew Factory is also their "clearance" brand.


> and no returns after you've worn it

No one lets you return clothes after you've worn them, including Amazon. (With exceptions for defective clothing, typically.)


Did you watch the promo video? Amazon encourages you to try them on before returning.


Trying clothes on is different from actually wearing clothes/removing the label.
