Have you ever tried to return these “final sale” items? I purchased an apparel box, size Large. They sent a coat that is US 6, which I believe is a Medium.

Update: Customer Care got back to me right away. They gave me a full refund and I do not have to return the item.

They won’t let you return or exchange any of their “final items” nor do they provide a “trade” on their site.

Mine came today! The prices were higher this time, but the quality of the items sent seems to be higher.

I received a beautiful black and white tweed belted jacket which I love.

I also received a dress which is on swaps because its a little too big for me, but I am amazed at how well made it is. Its lined, with darts in the right places.

Mine came this weekend- 1 apparel, 4 shoes:

apparel – really soft grey sweatshirt.

shoes – yellow and white polka dot keds (love!), navy Chelsea Crew dress shoes (cute, but I never wear dress shoes), Madeline brown boots (love these)….and…leather (yes, actual leather!) Miz Mooz brown boots that I still see selling on different websites for $120!

So, overall I am much more impressed this time around. Last SS I got a crop top, 2 dress that were too small, and a bunch of cheapy accessories so I was super hesitant to order too much this time in the way of apparel. I seen some real nice coats on reveal though this time around.

Just looked on the site to perhaps order more stuff – They still have ” Stylish Surprise – Apparel for $15 in size small “

My order of just one piece of apparel got canceled due to oversell! *sob sob* They sent me a 20% off code, though, so I guess I won’t get too upset.

I got my order today – it was nice to see a huge box full of surprises. I ordered 1 dress, 1 apparel, 2 shoes – I got a pretty retro ivy and blue dress. Retro pattern with black dots and beige, its lined. Initially I liked the pattern yet was not sure if I would like it on, i do, i need to get it taylored a tiny bit, yet i dont mind. I got a grey sweater I wont wear thats to large, 2 pairs of boots. One I like better then the other. The one I do like is knee high boots. This is an item I would have never purchased for myself, yet have always been interested in the look of. Now that I have them for only $10, I really like them. They grey boots are nice quality, I may or may not wear them. For $55 which included shipping, I’m happy. I like surprise purchases like this =). Looking forward to the next stylish surprise.

I received my order over the weekend. I only purchased two pairs of shoes as the price of the dresses went up so I was a bit hesitant to pick up a dress. I was hoping for boots, but I love the shoes I got.

-The first pair are Keds sneakers. They are a goldenrod yellow with small white polka-dots. They are sooo cute with jeans and perfect for spring/summer.
-The second pair are Bamboo ballet shoes with ankle straps in black.

Overall, I’m happy with my purchase ๐Ÿ™‚ Thanks for letting us know about this deal, Liz!

Mine just came– 2 apparel and 2 shoes.

Sadly, BOTH apparel items are coats. I mean, I like them, and they fit, but I will have no need for a coat for a while.
1. Steve Madden black coat I love with sort of a fit-n-flare style, fits perfectly. Hideous faux fur collar that thankfully unbuttons. Saw it on ebay for $45.
2. Plum lined blazer. It will look nice for Fall. Fits perfectly.

And both shoes are not my usual style. (Was hoping for boots!) They are both low flats that lace. They also both fit– we’ll see if I ever wear them.

Overall I’m pleased (because things fit) but not thrilled (nothing I am dying to wear). I would do it again. ๐Ÿ™‚

My first two orders came today: 2 XL apparel, 3 shoes, 2 accessories. I’m waiting on 2 more L apparel, but based on what I got today, there is no way those larges will fit!

Here’s what I got: a black and white check blouse that might fit a medium; a gorgeous olive green wool Steve Madden coat (!!); a straw hat that doesn’t quite fit; a beautiful, long, scalloped, mauve knit infinity scarf; thigh-high black boots that don’t zip over my calves, suede-like brown ankle boot with a shearling lining but that, despite their being tagged as 7.5s, are a half size too big (I’m a perfect 7.5/38 and that’s always made show shopping easy); tan and light green mid heels with a strap that doesn’t quite reach my arch (they don’t go with a single thing I own anyway).

I think the coat and the scarf were worth the $70, but I am *SO* annoyed that none of the shoes work, since that’s really what I looked forward to most. I love the shoes on their site, and if the brown boots were actually to size, I’d have been thrilled. I guess I can sell or swap stuff.

I got two meh tops, one I would wear, and one that was so not me but I gave it to my sister and she liked it. I also got a very well made Myrtlewood dress that I’m on the fence about, only because of the print. Overall, I would do it again. Maybe next time I can catch the shoes and accessories before they sell out. Does anyone know how often Modcloth does these?

Demure

Mine arrived today.

I bought 2 shoes and 2 apparel.

What I received were: 2 pair of knee high boots. They are in my size (8) in the feet but the leg portion is too small so I can’t wear either of them :/
2 skirts. One is full of colorful cupcakes ๐Ÿ™ and the other is a poofy pink leather skirt ๐Ÿ™
I knew the risk going in of course. I hope you all got items that were suited to your tastes.

http://www.modcloth.com/shop/dresses/when-the-night-comes-dress-in-plum
– In Creamy Violet color (would have loved the plum!). The color I got screams ‘dressing up for Easter dinner.’ Now I wish I had plans for tomorrow!

http://www.newyorkdress.com/Decode_18/182274.html
– In Emerald Green – this dress is gorgeous! Now I just need a fancy wedding to go to!

Overall I’m pretty happy. All 3 dresses are more special occasion than the everyday type I was hoping for but I definitely can’t complain receiving a dress that retails for over $300 for $20! ๐Ÿ˜€

Can’t wait until the next time this sale comes around!

I received my order today. I received a lovely dress, a not-so-lovely scarf, and TWO winter jackets which were the exact same!! I immediately contacted customer service and they promptly refunded me for the second winter jacket. He also said there was a system glitch which caused that to happen, so if it happens to anyone else contact them!

The apparel surprise seems still available in S and M sizes if anyone is interested. If I knew that, I wouldn’t have rushed that morning and be frustrated by the website ๐Ÿ™‚

I like the second dress PR Anna got.

Agreed! Plum doesn’t have to be for fall though, I’m wearing a plum dress to my graduation in June. I also like the second dress, simple and flattering. I got 2 apparel and 1 dress, I hope to be as lucky as you!

I started writing this hours ago ๐Ÿ™‚

I received my package today because I paid for ground shipping. USPS is not always kind to my packages so I prefer ground shipping when it comes to clothes. I ordered 2 dresses and 2 apparel. Shoes, accessories etc. were already gone. I ordered 2 dresses in case 1 was a mother of the bride type dress.

I asked my husband if he wants to renew our vows because one of my dresses looks like a simple fall wedding dress. It has beading at the waist and around the lace top which has a mesh modesty panel. It’s from Decode 1.8 Fall Line. I’ll put the link in the next post because it needs to be approved.

The next dress is a Doe & Rae black and periwinkle dress. Will include link in next post.

Apparel 1 is a Sweet Claire Maroon and Blue long sleeve stripe shirt. I wasn’t able to find a website that would allow me to search for it.

Apparel 2 is a Blue Platypus long sleeve shirt. It is a blue shirt with a white print of a girl iceskating with animals surrounding her. Link will be in next comment.

I haven’t tried on the items yet, but I like what I received.

I ordered 2 accessories, 1 dress, 1 apparel and 1 pair of shoes. I had to do the accessories separately since they went so fast so I paid $12 total in shipping. I got one of the accessories today and it was a hat, really cute, but I can’t wear hats. I was hoping for a purse or wallet. The rest is supposed to be here Saturday.

I got my apparel, dress and shoes today, they weren’t supposed to arrive till tomorrow. The dress is really cute, last time they didn’t fit this one fits perfectly. The shoes I got are boots from Blowfish, they’re AMAZING! super thrilled for $10. The apparel item I got was a skirt, in a cute teacup print. The prints adorable, but the skirt something I would never wear, it’d be cuter as a kitchen towel or something. The other accessory I got was a gold headband, again nothing I’d ever wear. This was my first time getting accessories and they were super disappointing, thankfully only $10 bucks wasted.

I actually just got an email that my order has shipped. Despite the website problems, less than 24 hours shipping turnaround is pretty impressive.

There is no web site issues with ordering at this moment (although only dresses and apparels left, but plenty of sizes)… cannot resist… splurged $205 on it, I hope I don’t get duplicates or anything weird ๐Ÿ™‚

Thanks Liz, I wouldn’t have known this if not for the MSA site.

This is my first time ordering, does anyone have an idea how long it takes for the orders from today to be shipped? Was just curious. Thanks in advance. ๐Ÿ™‚

Typically ModCloth ships out within 1-2 business days, but I think with the high amount of orders from today they will be a little more behind. Hope that helps!

Thank you so much. Was just trying to get an idea. Oh and I LOVE your site. I swear I check it multiple times a day. =) I’m officially hooked on sub boxes.
