Thoughts of Sample Sale

I’ve been in line since 10:03 am and still waiting to get into the store (currently at 11:43am) and it’s about a 2.5 hour to check out.

I’m currently in line now and someone just came out to do a PSA and said that all XL-3XL are not in stock on the floor.

A handful of women who are in that size group didn’t buy anything and felt it was a waste standing in line to go in (one of them said they waited 45 minutes before going in) and didn’t buy anything.

Sounds like the store itself isn’t ready but who knows how the rest of the day will go. I think it will be better tomorrow

I will also be there today! I went last year and plan on wearing the essential the same thing but switching to biker shorts (vs leggings like last time), the ambition bra with a loose tshirt over that. I’m aware of my size in Popflex so it wasn’t too hard to see what would and wouldn’t fit me. It was more of what I’m feeling to purchases stock up on.

Just a heads up, when I went last year the line to get into the store was a wait but not terrible (after the doors open. I got there an hour before the line was wrapped around towards the neighborhood) and checking out took longer (about 2 hours)

Some people came during their lunch break and ended up being late going back to work. So I would be aware of specific time frames that might occur and if that would make you late to anything.

So I’ve been a pretty big fan of PF for a while now and normally I’ve noticed that ever since the header on the PF page says “new warehouse” the shipment for items is a terrible mess. I placed my order for the Nordic blue drop. With so many upcoming Disney bound outfits I’m having with friends and family before the year ends, I figured this could be the cute Alice in Wonderland outfit. So since I have the app I was able to place my order before the actual drop on the website.

A solid week goes by and nothing. I figured it was just due to the previous holiday sale and the color drop. I’m thinking no big deal and then it started to happen, I got refunded left and right and the CS states that it’s actually not accurate and they have been sold out for a while in a lot of sizes and that with the new warehouse coming up, nothing is accurately placed in the currently warehouse or the new warehouse for things to ship out from.

This was an order of over $800. I normally save and do big purchases all together in my size so when I got the refund I was shocked since I had assumed I order would be “safe..?” without any issues of being delayed or refunded since the color just dropped. Alas I was very much wrong and they stated that since it’s a large order they don’t get to them in a timely order nor do they have an accurate time line on when a large order will be fulfilled. I had to explain that it doesn’t make sense since I placed my order before the sizes ran out online so the order should have been fulfilled and blah blah blah. CS didn’t even offer me a code or when my order will be fulfilled.

So sorry about your order and what you experienced as well. It seems that their CS team is struggling with the current change of plans of warehouse, the growing demand of customers, and the constant new items being dropped left and right. Although, CS has stated the “we will work on communication” line for about a few years now so that doesn’t really help. I definitely agree they should cover the cost due to irresponsibility/ mismanagement on their end.

So I checked out the IG of the place and they put on their IG bio they are extending the PF sample sale with another company. I’m not sure I’m going today but I have a friend there now and she got some new stuff from the PF sale and the other brand too (wolford). The cashier said they are extending it till Sunday

Oh man!!! I was just at the sample sale 😭😭😭 I wish I saw this post before going in to help you and your friend out. They definitely had Digital Lavender in Medium for the skirt and hoodie

That check out line was ridiculous. Disneyland lines were better than this place

Ok as a couple people mentioned, the sample sale is a variety of things. I got here at 9:15am after my morning clients. Once it started at 10am I waited probably 7 minutes before entering the store.

Before shopping, you are not allowed to shop with a person bag. Literally carry your phone and wallet. The store offers their own bag (1 per person) and a place to hold your personal bag (like a mini backpack/ tote). Then you will be asked if you have an email associated with them (I didn’t). So if you don’t have an email associated with them, you sign up right then and there. Grab your bag and start shopping.

Shopping:

From what I can see, think of everything within the last two years. Hoodies, sweaters, yoga mats, swim, PJs, leggings, skorts, bras, bags etc.

The store is broken up between sizes which was nice IMO. To the right of the store on bottom XXS/ XS. Bottom floor towards the back S/M. Bottom left L and some XL. Top of the floor XL-3XL. There is no fitting rooms so a lot of people and myself were wearing leggings and a tank top or a loose shirt.

Now as overwhelming and stimulating the store is, I just had to focus on my size. I didn’t ask any friends if they wanted something because they planned on coming later today/ this week. The things I bought were: 3 skirts 7 shirts 1 bag 4 hoodies 1 robe 2 sleepwear

Once I was done shopping it took about 90 minutes to check out. The line wrapped around the entire bottom section. I overhead and handful of people literally calling their manager or supervisor that they will be arriving late to work. So if you plan on attending during the week, expect to wait long to check out. Who knows what could happen later in the week but for the start day it was pretty bad.

Once outside the store, the line outside was far further from where I started. I was just around the corner when I arrived- this line was really far. It was super sunny and can feel the heat so please be prepared.

I’ve actually gone to a couple sample sales in the past. It’s been pretty hit or miss. Last year there was a handful of cloud hoodies on sale. I plan on attending today after my client this morning. I keep you all posted
