260 Sample Sale, NoMad

It was a wonderful experience. Lei helped me out. She was super nice and friendly. It was my first time and I will definitely come back next time.

I had a great experience with the customer service at this store. The staff was friendly, patient, and genuinely helpful from start to finish. Especially Tommy They took the time to answer my questions and made sure I felt comfortable. It’s refreshing to be treated with such professionalism and kindness. I’ll definitely be coming back and would recommend this place to anyone looking for excellent service.

The men and women who work the sample sales at 260 are so hard-working and well mannered.… It’s definitely not an easy job to be dealing with people who are rushing the sale so to speak. Many thanks to all their hard work and dedication. They don’t get enough praise.

This is my second time visiting 260 Sample Sale, each time has been a smooth experience. First I want to shout out Khaliek for being so accommodating to my +1 and I at my most recent experience (: his assistance set the tone for my time at the store. Secondly, all of the staff on site were lovely and communicative, including staff working the line outside, at coat check, and at check out, I wish I got everyone's name. Store was clean and organized. My only critique is that the jewelry station was difficult to assess and felt a bit crammed in between the bags and the check out station, I wish there was a better way to display those items so I could view them all properly. But over all, enjoyed my time shopping with 260. Was in and out within the hour.

Super helpful. Well organized. Deals were incredible at Yellow Label.

"My friends have been raving about the sample sales that pop up in big cities, so we decided to check out the Bally sample sale! My brother snagged an amazing pair of Bally shoes at a killer price—totally worth it! I was on the hunt for a pair too, but sadly couldn’t find my size. They had a great selection of shirts, belts, women’s shoes, sandals, and more! Definitely a must-visit for anyone looking for awesome deals!"

Update 11/8 So i came back to the location the next morning(day 2, Wed) with the friends i went the day before. The staffs that morning, came with more hospitality, helpful and more knowledgeable about their event(Marc Jacobs SS). They let us in first(it was cold and windy outside) and talked to us with much better manner. They explained that there was a sudden change of the discounts in the system from 70%off to 50%off for the Snapbacks, for those who paid after around 11:40am. So my friend who paid before 11:40 was lucky(70%off), while the rest of us got the new discounts(50% off). They cleared the misunderstandings about the price differences for us. THEY ALSO PRINT ME A NEW RECEIPT! I am still going to give 4 stars instead of 5, for the notes that you should fix the communication between the management and the on-venue staffs, thus you would be able to provide a more reliable information for your customers. Specially about the prices, etc. I really appreciated the staffs(and also the online customer care) who were able to assist our complaints, specially Nashali and Brittney. I hope the best for the 260's next events. _____ BE CAREFUL WITH THE PRICE, DISCOUNT ETC. EVEN IN THE REGISTER SYSTEM. ALWAYS CHECK AGAIN I had a very unpleasant shopping experience today at 260SS Nomad. I came to Marc Jacobs 260 SS today with 3 friends. We bought some Snapshots. 4 of them are the same models. We were told by the staff on the display desk that the snapshots are 70% off. But after paying, we just realised only one of my friends' snapshot was 70%off. The others even though they are the same models, were charged only 50% off. I made 2 purchases, with 4 snapshots. Unfortunately, I lost one of my receipts after i did my purchases. I made the effort to come back to 260 NOMAD and said my complain that i might be charged a wrong price and wanted to be assist with that. All they did was defend themselves, like they told me it was my fault only. What i felt was YOUR SYSTEM SUCKS, YOUR STAFFS SUCK. They didn't even let me in to explain calmly, didn't help with my problem, let alone helped me to check with my purchases. So, i would change the review if you could help me to track my puchases digitally since i signed up for the email. I need the receipt to make sure the prices AND DISCOUNTS your register staff input are correct. I NEVER FELT THIS ANGRY AND DISAPPOINTED. I am aware that ALL SELLS ARE FINAL, but you shouldn't be this MISLEADING towards your customers. At the very least, you could assist your customers with their needs. Ps. I already received the rewards i got from today's purchases in my 260 account, but the purchasing history hasn't been updated yet.

Wish I could give them 0 stars they are just selling trash… eclipse in better! Avoid at all costs! I bought a knit skirt from the Balmain sample sale for $600, only to come home and discover it had 8 holes in it. These defects were cleverly hidden and only became visible when the fabric was stretched. They have refused to take any responsibility. This is an absolute fraud and a waste of money. Very disappointing experience. Never going back

I have been to 2 samples sales here, 2 years a part. COS & Shoe In. The line is always long but they do a great job of staggering people so it's not packed inside. You do need to check your coats and bags in when you arrive but it is seamless. Both sample sales were organized by size which honestly is the way to go because you don't have to wander around looking for things your size. If you take the time to look, the deals are solid and often my most reached items.

Each week at 260 5th Ave in New York, NY, 260 Sample Sale hosts discount fashion, home, and beauty events in direct partnership with top brands in apparel, accessories and beauty, including: Marc Jacobs and Bobbi Brown Cosmetics. My favorite week-long public sample sale is for Moleskine and S'well. In 2025, Moleskine's sample sale was from 6/24-6/29 and 12/01-12/07/25. I grabbed my favorite Moleskine staples. They had notebooks, pens, bags, pins, and so much more. Other sample sales I've been to at 260 5th Ave have been for CALPAK luggage and packing cubes and S'well bottles. There can be lines to get into the building, but the queue moves quickly. When you enter, you have to check your bags. Make sure you bring your cellphone and wallet with you while you browse. If you forget, you can always go back to the bag check and ask them to give you your bag to take out your wallet. Then, you're off to the races. All the items will be laid out on the tables and you just have to grab whatever you want. There can be lots of crowds of people taking pictures to show their friends or browsing. You can't beat the prices though! There is a checkout line with multiple open registers.

Marc Jacob Sample sales were VERY disorganized and handing out tickets with giving out all the guests who were on line the whole time. They seem to be selective who they handed out to. Inside the store wasn't organized as well.

This place is horrible, extreamly rude employees who treat customers like cattle. They never want to answer any questions or he bothered. They have good sales on their merchandise but I'll never step foot in that place again. Their store across the street is just as bad. Stay Away.

Long lines, crowded shopping, damaged merchandise (which can be yours for $299!). Rude shoppers as well as staff. Hard to find any decent items. Prices have increased substantially. No bargains here. Check your merchandise with great care as you may find damage once leaving the store.

Beware. Do not order on-line items from 260 Sample Sale. They do not honor their orders once shipped. I ordered three pairs of shoes from 260 Sample Sales website in August 2025. I only received two pair of shoes from the shipment. I reached out to their Customer Care department and the email respondent said she would look into the issue and reach out to the vendor. For over a month she sent emails saying she was waiting to hear from the vendor. I reached out to the Customer Care department several times during that months time to find out the status of the order. Weeks went by Without a resolution. I was finally told more than a month later that "I would have to reach out to the shipping company". When I reached out to the shipping company they said too much time had passed by so they couldn't track the order. They told me to reach out to 260 Sample Sale. Their response was very frustrating because I sent delivery pictures and shipment information to 260 Sample sale Customer Care at the beginning. I have home cameras and told them I could show proof that the shoes weren't delivered. Why didn't they call the shipping company or ask me to call in a reasonable amount of time. I called 260 Sample Sale administratIve office twice to voice my complaint to a lady who answered the telephone. I haven't heard back from them. I am Extremely disappointed. I researched their reviews after this experience and found others that have had similar experiences. I thought they were a reputable company. But sadly they are not. AH

It's a great selection of merchandise at a good price. I found them quite organized and the people working hard to keep merchandise in order. The 10 item try on rule in 15 minutes is a bit stressful with a group of gals all in a big room and hardly any mirrors but fun at the same time and probably necessary considering the lines. I did purchase a white skirt and checked it for stains and imperfections but when I returned home there was a coffee stain on it so perhaps it was on the counter not sure. I went to the sale on the second day when it was raining so lines weren't so bad.

Went into the Veronica beard sale today and spent a while looking. Everything was marked on signs and I grabbed a pair of shoes that retailed for $295 and the sign said that price would cost $80.50 at checkout. I go to checkout and she tells me they're $115. I told her that the retail was $295 and she was incorrect. She snapped at me and was so rude explaining they weren't $295 retail (I literally own them already. They are. And the tag on the box said so) and they were $495 retail (wrong). I said ok, I think that is wrong but I'll skip them. She was so rude and I think they try to inflate the prices at retail so they can resell for more. What a joke.

I love shopping here and deals are usually great! However, it's always a stressful experience and items are a mess... I see a lot of damaged clothing and accessories still on the racks. They may have arrived damaged, but I'm pretty sure they got damaged from shoppers being too aggressive. I've seen people aggressively tearing things from the hangers and I'm not sure why staff doesn't tell them to stop or to be more gentle. Also, the staff can be very rude here. I see some people who are on their phones the whole time, and if you ask a question, they ignore you or they said they don't know. I'll probably still come here if they have a brand that I'm a fan of, but I hope they will improve their conditions and their level of service. Something else to keep in mind is sometimes their deals aren't that good -- definitely do google searches of the brands first to see what their retail and sale prices are. Another note to keep in mind is hours vary so check their website. They also usually drop prices on the last day of each sample sale.

When I first moved to New York, one of the things I fell in love with was sample sales. It's really not the same anywhere else. 260 Sample Sale is probably the best sample sale production team out there. Lines might move slowly, but I've always felt things seemed organized. Prices are lower than you'd find anywhere online. Their team does a really good job of posting videos and pricing on their IG, and you can always DM them with pricing questions. I love their beauty supplies, candles, home goods sales especially! I've also found tons of outerwear and RTW designs. Pay attention to their social media and come at an off time if you can to avoid lines!

There is a different brand every week. The sample sales start on Tuesday morning and end on Sunday around 5pm. It's really brand dependent so hit or miss as to how good the deals are, but I've gotten some great stuff here! Tuesdays definitely have the best selection, but usually the prices will go down starting Friday and over the weekend. The popular brands have long lines if you go on the weekend or right after work time on the weekdays. The sales are pretty fun! You can ask for a bag when you go in and then just grab whatever you see first come first serve! Most sales have a communal dressing room with girls complementing each other and helping each other decide what to buy. Sample sales will always be an iconic NYC activity to me

Not going to lie I probably will still come back for sales despite this review haha see you there soon But calling this place out for just terrible treatment of beautiful, nice clothes. They may be samples but come on, they deserve better.

Went there for the The Sill + Departo sample sale. Space was big but there wasn't much variety. It was all very underwhelming. The cashiers and employees get first dibs on everything so anything worth buying or discounted is already claimed. Perks of working there, I guess. Other staff weren't helpful and wouldn't communicate with customers when asked questions -- they just sort of pointed at stuff and retreated to their corner or behind the curtains. Plants were labeled with colored stickers but price signs were only available at the front behind the cashier which is AWAY from the plants and close to the Departo goods. Departo pricing signs were within the plants away from the Departo goods. Flip flopped placement lol Sample sales used to be a treat and super fun cause everything you want is at a discount and priced in a way where you feel like you're getting a steal but some of these plants and items were just carelessly placed and mass produced to get the most out of the customers. All in all, not the worst experience but if all the sample sales are like this after a 45 minute to an hour wait in the sun, I would think twice before coming back any time soon.

I love a bargain. I've been to about a dozen sample sales at this location and their satellite across the street and would say it's definitely a mixed bag. Most staff are friendly and somewhat helpful (eg will look in the back to see if there's something in stock in your size) but mileage varies depending on how crazy it is and the particulars of a brand. Sometimes things "won't scan" and staff can't manually price it even though the prices are posted on the wall. And let me tell you, it gets wild in these sales. Grown adults turn into selfish, rude, angry, messy hoarders in the face of limited inventory. The first couple of days are usually when these die hards reign supreme, since they come with lists and want the full inventory available. If you don't have your eye on anything special, wait a few days until they add further discounts -- usually Buy X (quantity or subtotal) Get 20% off. Also, there aren't any fitting rooms, so if you need to try on clothing wear undergarments that are skintight, like bike shorts + tank top/sports bra.

THE HOURS LISTED ARE NOT ACCURATE - they close the door to shoppers at 6:30 PM, not 7. DO NOT TRY TO COME IN AFTER 6:30 PM. They will not let you in after 6:30 PM, so don't waste your time. They welcome resellers who take the majority of the inventory and start live-streaming it for online auction immediately. Proceed with caution.

I love 260 Sample Sale. They bring great designers and vendors and the sales are run very efficiently. The staff is nice enough and I've really enjoyed my experiences at this location - as it's quite a bit larger than their other location in Soho.

They're not sample sale store. They're basically dropshipping i.e. taking your money and then ordering from overseas like China to backfill your items. Here's my experience: Placing my order on 20 Aug, received order confirmation right away. However, until 07 Sept when I didn't receive any shipping information, I emailed them asking and it took them 7 days to reply back that the order would be shipped the next week. Time passed, my order still didn't arrive, I emailed them again. AND ANOTHER 7 DAYS FOR THEM TO REPLY ON 19 SEPT! And it wasn't good news either. They still haven't even shipped the order yet and informed me it would ship in the next 1-2 weeks, from Denmark! Denmark my ass, I guaranteed they are waiting for items to be made from China. At this point, I feel scammed and I would never buy from 260 Sample Store again.

i've been buying things here for years, grade value! Employees are spread a little thin, but work really hard.

The employees were extremely rude. Rolling eyes, not making eye contact, responses sounded as if they were annoyed. May i add they can get passive aggressive when a purchase isn't made. Seriously.

In 34 years of obvious naiveté, I'd never heard of the term "sample sale," but maybe it's a sophisticated person thing or a New Yorker thing or a people-who-don't-live-under-a-rock thing but I am an unsophisticated out-of-towner who lives underground. This store's raison d'être is to sell and promote one particular brand and deep discounts. This time it was the BONOBOS brand. The brand is evidently always posh. The brand rotates. The stark contrast of high-end clothing and the hand-written signs and don't-give-a-hoot employees is palpable. This location is a big square space with high ceilings and rows of tall racks where someone 5'4" and shorter would need a step stool, long arms, or a tall buddy to comfortably reach the hangers. I don't know whether they learned the hard way (i.e., inventory shrinkage) or through judicious foresight, but you must check big bags and puffy coats at the coat check and get a paper claim ticket, as coat checks tend to go. The signage of the size is minimally legible but it's there. In the four to five pieces of clothing I checked (blazers, pants, shirts, and coats), all were in the right size section, which makes the search for the right size less time-consuming. My friend asked to use the fitting room (really, it's a large makeshift space in the back with a long curtain) but was told that the fitting room was closed. I did a double-take. Occupied, sure. Closed, what? I've never heard of a fitting room closing several hours before the store does. Out of a profligate need to buy when presented with a deal, I chose a $90 (50%) coat but then decided against buying any more clothes, part of a new-year-new-me pact I had made (and broke several times this week). Bring a friend to temper each other's spending! The bottom two lines: Good deals, quality merch, well organized, blasé staff, not busy. Worth a peek.

Came by right when they opened around 10 to check out some byartis makeup brushes and sadly the selection wasn't great since I was late to the sale by a couple of weeks but still managed to get two brushes at a huge discount! The staff was nice and pointed me in the direction of the products I wanted. The whole process to check your bag and checkout was seamless too. When I went there were only 5 customers in the store so I can't speak to what it is like when it's crowded. I've also bought multiple things from their online sample sale and never had an issue getting the products I purchased!

I have been to this location, as well as the one right across the street, a couple of times for the Rebecca Minkoff, Theory and Eileen Fisher sales. Each time was not a long wait, but a few times when I have passed by the lines have been ridiculous so it really is all about timing. I have been on Sunday's because that's when they hold additional discounts for certain designers to try to get rid of existing merchandise. It is pretty well run in there as far as moving lines along, following COVID protocols, etc. I would definitely recommend following their Instagram to keep up with pricing, discounts, stock, etc. as well as looking up brands before shopping. Overall, great to get discounts on designer brands and would come here again for a brand I like.

I try to visit every sample sale I can with 260. The quality of merchandise is always great (no damaged goods unlike other sample sales in the city). Customer service is sometimes lacking...but when hundreds of people are trying to push their way in, am I really surprised? I do miss open dressing rooms...I understand they are worried about COVID but people are just trying on the clothes on the main floor anyway and can actually cause more of a hectic mess... Visited Sandro sale most recently and got an adorable pair of black heels 80% off. Would recommend visiting when they host brands you like.

Came here for a sample sale that was being held by Glow Recipe. Too bad the discounts weren't even that discounted really. The layout it simple with products in different price tiers in different sections around the space. There was also a bag check by the door and mini shopping baskets too. Checking out was easy and quick.

I just had the worst experience ever at Rag and Bone sample sale at 261 Fifth Avenue. The people working there are so disrespectful. They asked me to remove my sweatshirt since it has "deep pockets." I explained to them that I have nothing underneath and that I cannot take it off. They then proceeded to tell me to speak with the manager who continued to tell me that I should just come back another day with more appropriate attire. Didn't know it was a crime to wear a sweater with pockets at a sample sale. Everyone else around me was also wearing sweaters so I don't know why they decided to personally harass me. The workers at this sample sale location are extremel rude and power hungry for no good reason. Never going back.

Confessions of a Shop-A-Holic... Two locations that simultaneously host different designers at discounts upwards of 80% and more. This location of 260 5th Ave and 150 Greene St are open floor plans filled with racks of clothing and accessories of which ever designer currently being featured. A few things to note... 1. When it's prime time they control the crowd by limiting the amount of customer to enter at a time. 2. No bags or coats are allowed on the floor. They must be checked. 3. Some staff is more helpful than others. 4. Usually what you see is what you get. 5. The start of the sales gives you more inventory but the ending of the sale usually provides a larger discount on what's left. 6. ALL SALES ARE FINAL & AS IS 7. Join the mailing list to know what sales will start when & where. HAPPY RETAIL THERAPY!!!

DO NOT ORDER ANYTHING FROM ONLINE. I ordered 2 sets of pajamas through this business. Understandably, shipping from the 3rd party may take some time to process. My order showed up at my house missing a set of pajamas a month after the order was placed. I contacted customer service about the issue and keep getting the runaround. I asked for a refund for the missing pajamas and was told it would be issued, but that was almost a week ago and the refund has not been issued. It takes days for the customer support team to respond to the issue. It's almost been 2 months since I placed the original order and the issue has yet to be resolved. Save your money and your headache.

they sold me a avirex hat and sweats but canceled the jacket and tells me I can't return the items that went with them. I advise you to not shop online

I am a huge fan of this place. So much so, that I inadvertently managed to become Duchess on Yelp from checking in so often. Most recently I hit up their J.Crew/Madewell sale. This one happens a few times a year and I've never left empty handed. I get a little stressed out trying to narrow down my choices, but that's the thrill of the deal as well. At this last sale I picked up two pairs of flats at $25 each and a pencil skirt for $20. The first time I went to this sale last year, I picked up a full length black pea coat for $75. Earlier in the year I shopped the Stila makeup sale. I was shocked at how low the prices were and went a little overboard, considering I am not a wiz with makeup. But I couldn't help myself! I also picked up items for my sister and a friend. Their DVF sale was a favorite of mine as well. I got two dresses for $30 each. One of which I plan to wear for my company's holiday lunch. It's a sparkly and fabulous sleeveless knit wrap dress that retailed for $428! Thankfully at this sale, there were dressing rooms, but that's not always the case. There aren't any at the J.Crew sale, but I can understand why since there is so much merchandise and a ton of people everywhere. Just keep in mind that items aren't always in the best quality so be sure to look them over. Final sale so no returns. Follow them on Facebook and Instagram and sign up for their email as well. You'll cover all your bases so you know about the next great sample sale.

BEWARE when you shop these sample sales. I went to the Bandier sale last month and I made a purchase for a sports bra. I was going by the tags attached when looking for a size medium and that's what the tag even said. When checking out, I asked the store associate to double check if it was a medium and she said yes. After I made the purchase and left, when I looked at the sports bra, IT SAID SIZE XS. So due to 260 Sample Sale's incorrect tagging and customer associates who falsely confirmed, now I am out of pocket paying for something that won't even fit me. I e-mailed them and after following up numerous times, they responded back saying they will "look into this for me." Having heard nothing back, I followed up again and they sent the below, which is totally ridiculous: "Good Afternoon Samantha, Thank you for your patience. We were able to locate your receipt. Due to our store policy, all sales are final. We are unable to accept any returns or exchanges. Our sincerest apologies for the inconvenience." I'm definitely going to dispute the charge with my bank. Hopefully others are much more cautious when going to these kinds of sample sales that are organized by this awful company.

Super disorganized, disrespectful and poorly run business. Waited in line for a lifetime plus and when we got to the front of the line it appears the team just went on a break and we waited at the front of the line for over an hour while we could see them hanging out inside an empty room doing nothing. Never again.

Sample sales are always a mixed bag but when it's good it's GREAT! The problem here is the music. I'm hardly a prude but hearing the N word and B***h OVER and OVER while I shop is really disappointing

Super duper picked over. Sale was a dud for me this time. Staff was very nice. Prices were a bit high.

Scary, Terrible experience . Overpriced clothing. Very RUDE obnoxious Manager name TIANA When I politely ask for her little help -She turn her back on me and with demanding BOSSY voice advise me to self-help When I ask her for a price of the item that wasn't on the list She scream at me like a mad woman. I don't understand how this kind of person working with people? Who accepted her to this JOB?????

Love the 260 sample sale. Been so lucky and prices are unbeatable. My new to go place

Total scam, bought a dress online and still haven't received. Customer service is a joke and I haven't had any resolution. I would not spend money here.

I have been shopping with them for 20 years, and I can only say wonderful things about this company. I can buy what I want for a fraction of the price! Their sample sales are simply amazing, they have great selection and each week they have different vendors. Their space is skilfully and neatly organised. All sales representatives are always extremely helpful, professional and fun to interact with. I also buy online from them and their on-line service is impeccable. 10 stars!!!

Atrocious customer service. Been coming here for years and things were fine. However, yesterday I went to the Hugo Boss Sample sale and was sold a completely mismatched jacket/ pants combo and charged (more) as a suit. Upon getting home, I discovered the error. I went back today and they refused to take back or exchange. I am now left with a mismatched suit I don't want and cannot get refunded for. I am disgusted by the employees' and manager's conduct. They were downright nasty and refused to correct their own error. I will never go back there again

I love 260, and it's a must when in the city. There are multiple locations that have so many different brands at great prices in-store and online. The sample sale brands vary each week!

DO NOT PURCHASE FROM THEM!!!! Their are SCAMMER'S! I purchased from their Creed online sample sale and my package never arrived. This is their response to me: Hello Alexis, We appreciate your patience regarding your Creed order. We understand the frustration that Fedex issues can cause. We are reaching out to the brand representatives on your behalf for further assistance on this matter. At this time, we recommend that you file a claim with Fedex. Please let us know if you have any additional questions or concerns. Best, 260 Sample Sale They completely blew me off and won't do anything about it. Now, I don't have my items and I'm out of $463.00. I have to file with my CC company now due to this issue. What a disaster! Never again am I purchasing from them. Thanks!

Do not order from this company online. I placed a large order on 8/24 and they never shipped it. It's been 30 days now. Their customer service team is completely unresponsive. I contacted them multiple times and they responded once with an invalid FedEx tracking number. I finally had to submit a chargeback with my credit card company to try and get my money back. That takes another 75 days to review - add that to the 30 days I've been waiting and it will be 105 days until I get my money back. Don't shop with this company - it's a total headache and not worth it.

Very poor quality. I suspect some of the merchandise did not see the day of light in an actual store. Ins read they seem to be made just for the sample sale, like at an outlet. I bough a dannijo dress and some bandier athletic wear. The dress was flimsy and I also cannot find it anywhere on the internet listed as a dannijo dress. I regret the $95 I spent on it. The Bandier had no stretch in them. They are the same quality at Old Navy. I find it hard to believe the yoga pants retail for 120$ And the top retails for 110$. However the bandier pieces were at a deep discount. (See receipt)

I frequently stay near this sample sale venue and always wondered why people were lined up waiting to go inside this nondescript storefront on 5th Avenue at 28th Street. Last week I finally realized why- they hold sample sales for legit brands like Marc Jacobs! As a fan of the brand but giving myself a Marc by Marc Jacobs budget, I decided to stop in after seeing the 90% off signs on the window for MJ accessories, clothing, and Little Marc items. When you enter, they have staff who have you check in your bag/purse (you can take out your wallet to pay and phone) by giving your initials (extra safeguard in case someone finds a random ticket) and they give you a ticket to pick it up after checking out the sale. I don't think it was the first day of the sale, but they had full racks of clothing for men & women, plus plenty of handbags, totes, wallets, scarves, and other well-priced merch to sift through- I wound up picking two peach-colored wallets for my friend and I at $21.50 each (normally $215). I did notice the crowd is bigger during the neighboring office lunch rush, so I'd advise going a bit earlier in the day for a better selection. I actually went once and then returned and nearly lost out on the wallets as a lady was picking up 4! You snooze, you lose I guess! At checkout they give you a bag with the receipt stapled to the front. It seems well-organized and worth checking out if it's a brand you covet.

Echoing the bad review from July 2, 2020, re: Tom Dixon sample sale. I, too, purchased lights from the Tom Dixon sample sale, and they are flaking and broken (see pictures from below from other unfortunate buyer). I wrote to the customer service email for assistance and was told they would let Tom Dixon know. I responded, asking for the contact at Tom Dixon I would follow up with, and I have yet to receive a response. I spent $360 on un-usable light fixtures, and now I'm not getting a response from 260. I'm forced to conclude this business is a scam operation, not to mention this practice violates consumer protection laws. I'll be contacting BBB next. A cool $360 may mean nothing to Tom Dixon or 260, but for a private citizen, it's a lot-- a stack of busted plastic in the place of the light fixtures that were falsely advertised on their website.

Terrible practices. I have been shopping at 260 since they opened and they have become greedy. My order was not even processed 14 business days later and when I asked they told me to be patient and keep waiting when I asked to cancel the order. Another time, I placed an order and a few days later there was a price drop. They refused to give me a price adjustment even when the order did not ship yet. Beware before shopping with 260.

I have came here quiet a few times to snag some sweet deals. I came here for the BaubleBar, J Crew, and most recently the S'well / Moleskin / Nest Fragrance sample sales. Personally, the S'well sample sale has been my favorite sample sale since these water bottles are expensive at retail value and sample sale is deeply discounted. (Note: I think that the S'well sample sale probably comes 1-2 times a year.) When I came here for the J Crew sample sales, the clothes are usually a hit or miss in my opinion. I remember that I couldn't try on the clothes since there's no fitting room. My other two cents: -There will be a super long line on the first day of the sample sale for sure. -You'll probably have to check-in your bag / coat. -They usually discount the items even more near the end of the sample sale. -All sales are final and there are no returns. I recommend carefully examining your product before purchasing. -Follow there Facebook or Instagram pages for future sample sales. HAPPY SHOPPING! :)

Can be a little bit of a zoo during the first day or two of their more popular sales (think line wrapped around the block, slight Confessions of a Shopaholic-esque madness on the inside), but I've gotten some really great finds here and would continue coming back even if it weren't perfectly halfway between my apartment and my office. Sales run for about a week or so. My favorites have been the Stila sale (2x a year) and Rent the Runway (also 2x a year). Space NK and Rituals both sold out of the good merch really quickly but I still made it out with some great products. The employees are a little over the board. Some (the coat check guys are my boys) are phenomenal, while others (those working the floor) tend to be a little brusque. I'm also not a huge fan of being herded like cattle into a giant communal changing room, but I suppose there's no good alternative so I'll cut them some slack. The Instagram is kept really well up to date (shoutout to whoever runs it) and is always informative about further markdowns.

This entire experience just feels terrible. I felt like I was shopping on Jamaica Ave at a blowout sale in Jimmy Jazz or V.I.M (aka clothing of worse quality than what you'll find at Forever21) and not sifting through designer sample sales. The one time I shopped here, I felt like a pauper fighting for rich people's leftovers and scraps, and nothing carried here is even that special. I am not that desperate that I am going to fight through a chaotic dressing room where I basically have to get naked in front of random, marginally aggressive, crazed strangers in the middle of a far-too-bright room, like some sort of specimen, or where I'm going to be followed around by staff, or bulldozed out of the way for a damn jacket. It is not this serious. (and THIS is why I shop online or in actual boutiques) The "store" - if you can call it that - is just a bare bones space. You're made to check your bags as soon as you walk in, no greeting - necessary as I'm SURE plenty of people try to steal from here - but GHETTO nonetheless. This also leaves me confused as to why I (the lone black person in the sale at the time I went) was so OBVIOUSLY being followed, to the point that even a white customer noticed it and said something, as I hardly touched a thing. There were no baskets or anything to hold your selections either. You just had to shlep it all around with you, and the woman who KEPT following me informed 10000x that you can only try four items at a time, which feels like a lie she made up to justify her racially profiling me. By this point, I was already too through, but upon venturing to the fitting rooms, it was just mayhem. Impatient, crazed women glaring at whomever was going in, with a line that was far too long to be reasonable. I can't do long lines like that. There is no article of clothing I need or want that badly to justify that. Left and will never be back. Also, the selection isnt even that nice!!!

first day of Rails sample sale was pure garbage! and accross the street from this location its impossible to get in with their system! BS!!!!!
