Discussion “Last Few” Items

Just a heads up, I always thought items marked as “last few left” was a marketing tactic (and it might still be) - but I decided to buy the lodge pants this morning in a color that said “last few left” even though I don’t have access to the sale yet.

Right after I bought them, it went from “last few” to “2 left”. I just checked now (1 hour later) and they are sold out. So now I’m hoping they’ll do a price adjustment 🤞🏽

It’s not marketing. Aritzia just doesn’t like to give too many discounts on their most popular items.

Top sellers always have stock rapidly dwindle at the beginning of the sales

Correct. I think it means either 3-5 units left.

No. 9/10 times when Aritzia says last few those fuckers mean it. There was a pair of shorts and a dress that I really wanted to buy last summer that I decided to leave for this summer cause they were expensive AND it did say last few but I didn’t think much of it… Newsflash… They are not coming back.

Last few is real. But if you get sale access in the next week or so they will price adjust.

I sure hope so cause I already ordered everything this weekend and I’m hopping to do a price adjustment. But then saw another post here this morning with an email from aritzia saying they will not do price adjustment.

They did for me but it was in a gift card OR I had to return and repurchase. So if they were sold out I couldn't get price adjust to my original payment method.

I recently tried on the marmion linen dress in store but I wanted the pretty pink colour so I said I’d order online. The sales lady checked and said they have 7 left in total, and once it gets down to 5 it stops showing “only a few left” and switches to “sold out”. I was so grateful for the tip!

I ordered it and now will price match once I get access to the sale.

Yea no that’s usually pretty accurate

u/comfypiscean 2h ago

Sometimes it is accurate. I placed an order with a few items that had “only one left” and they were then marked as sold out

I bought a “last few left” item the other day just to receive and email later that it was cancelled :) (probably because they don’t have a stock, and this happens way too often)

I ordered a top that said last few right after the sale started at midnight, my order went through but I see this morning that top was cancelled off my order and is now sold out ;(
