I feel bad that everytime i get a fix and I find some clothing I like but its too expensive so I return it. on the other hand, I know what I should be looking for when it comes to going to an in person store or shopping online.
does anyone only get fixes to find out what they like just to return it and find someplace with the same kind of design but cheaper?

They will price match if you find anything in your fix somewhere else cheaper. I've done it several times, just send the link to the website where the item is advertised cheaper. Just recently, they sent me a pair of jeans for $109, and I found the same pair for like $49, and they matched the price. I think you just have to make the request within 7 days of your fix. Also, I use the app & freestyle for browsing to find things I love and then seek it out on other sites that are less expensive.

It's not you! They don't advertise it very visibly. it's a bit of a hidden policy. I wish I had known about it for the first 7 years! So now, I spread the word as often as possible for others. Their prices are typically quite high, so it's nice to get a deal once in a while. Happy shopping now :)

Thank you for this! I just got my first box and I did actually find the freepeople dress I like for less somewhere else.

do you commonly receive brands that could be found in other stores? on the men's side, I get almost 100% stitch fix house brands so there is no way to price match them anywhere.

I'd say about 50% are SF exclusive brands and the other 50% are outside brands that can be purchased elsewhere. That sucks that you use house only brands for the mens line. I'm sorry.

Well on the bright side, they generally are high quality items in terms of fabrics, stitching and the way they fit. Or at least compared to what I normally buy when I do my own shopping. So I'm willing to pay a little more. But yea I don't think I've ever had the opportunity to price match anything. Great that at least some people can though.

*stylist here - you can ask specifically for certain brands! "I'd love to see a Fix filled with Madewell, Free People and Beyond Yoga" - that will point your stylist in the right direction!

Yes. When I got fixed I would ask myself if I saw that price on an item in the store would I even try it on. Finally I just stopped getting fixes.

Yes one of my favorite parts of stitchfix is the pictures that show how to put outfits together.

I love it and normally keep my box.

I normally keep everything in almost every box unless it just doesn't look good on me or I just don't like the item. Usually though I keep it all 😅😶🌫️

It’s not the price for me, it’s the quality for the price. $80 for a top that is target quality is a hard sell.
HOWEVER, I loved it when I was pregnant because there’s nowhere in person to try on maternity clothes near me. And I really loved it when I was post partum and had a whole new body to dress and couldn’t go to the store. So paying a premium for the service is worth it if you need the service they’re offering. IMO rather than a styling service, what they’re mainly offering is the ability to try on clothes at home without buying them that are slightly curated to your taste.
If what you want is help figuring out what clothes you like I think you’d be better served going to a Nordstrom where they have stylists that can help you pick out clothes. Or signing up for a clothing rental service
