Crate & Barrel recently announced that they will be closing in Singapore, much to the shock of many ๐ง Itโs been 10 years since they first opened in Singapore, but they will be shuttering by 31 May 2023.
As a result of the closure, Crate & Barrel is offers up to 40% off, both online and in stores ๐๏ธ We happened to be at Ion Orchard and swung by to take a look at the sales, and hereโs the situation so far:
๐๐ป BE PREPARED TO QUEUE TO GO IN
We were there around 7.00 PM on a Wednesday evening and there was already a snaking queue outside the Crate & Barrel store, with hoards of people shopping inside. Be prepared to queue to go in, and there were some shoppers who were turned away as it was getting too crowded inside ๐ตโ๐ซโ ๏ธ Last entry into the store is at 8.00 PM so you might want to visit earlier!
๐๐ป STOCKS VARY IN-STORE & YOU WILL HAVE TO HUNT FOR WHAT YOU WANT
The stocks are not exactly organised in the most orderly manner and you will have to hunt for what you want ๐ โโ e.g. we came across at least 3 different sections selling serveware, with unclear pricing (no price tags, no staff on the ground except for cashiers) ๐
The crowd also made it challenging to shop for items, as people could be crowding a certain section or bumping into you while you have fragile items, so you gotta be extra cautious! ๐ฎโ๐จ
๐๐ป NO CLEAR PRICING
Many of the items on sale did not have any price tags on them and some of them did not even state the retail prices (before discount) ๐คจ Some products were also mixed up and/or not in their original place, so the prices may not match up โโ e.g. you may think the measuring cup is going for $20 but ends up being a different price.
Our suggestion is to use the guide to pricing discounts stuck all over the store, so you can estimate how much your purchases might be ๐ฐ Otherwise, donโt be shy to ask for the price at the cashier before deciding if you want to cart out the item! ๐
Further to the above, we share โจ3 MORE TIPSโจ below thatโll make your shopping experience a smoother one:
1๏ธโฃ EARLY BIRD WINS ๐ฅ
Set your alarm clocks and arrive early! โฐ The early bird truly gets the best selection and potentially the biggest discounts, as many items were sold out online or left with a few defective pieces instores. With limited quantities available, you'll want to be among the first in line to snag those coveted pieces for your home ๐ก
2๏ธโฃ PLAN AHEAD ๐๐
Do your homework before the sale ๐ Browse Crate & Barrel's website or visit the store in advance to identify the items you're interested in ๐ป Make a list of must-haves and prioritise accordingly. This will save you time and ensure you don't miss out on your favorite pieces amidst the frenzy ๐ตโ๐ซ
3๏ธโฃ QUALITY CHECK & CONSCIOUS SHOPPING ๐ง๐
While the discounts may be enticing, don't forget to inspect the items before making a purchase. Check for any damages, scratches, or defects that could affect the functionality or aesthetic appeal ๐ It's important to strike a balance between a good deal and ensuring you're getting a high-quality piece ๐ There will be a dizzying array of items available, but donโt forget to practise mindful, conscious shopping and think about whether you really need those items! ๐ฌ
Donโt forget to like and save if this has been helpful to you!โจ
Happy shopping & let us know what you got from the sale! ๐ฅณ๐
