The Trade-In Program Question

Linda129 — Fri, 28 Nov 2014 22:18:13 GMT

Use this program and love. Found out about in on here a few years ago so thanks ladies. I know there is a six bag limit per year but wondering if I can send two bags back at once?

Yes, you can I have done it more than once it saved me on shipping because I shipped them in one box.

I just spent $13.00 to ship my purse to Dooney for a trade in and they said I had 199.00 credit for at least a 398.00 handbag. So that would cost me another 200.00 plus shipping and tax to trade it in. You can not use it in a store so I have to use their site and there was nothing I wanted or that was in stock. So they said if I did not use it in 30 days they would return my handbag so that is what I will do and just give away the purse. I can go to a dooney outlet near me and buy most any purse there for less than 200.00 and they have more selection.

In other words, you will only be spending $200 for a $398 bag. I don't see how it's any different. Most likely you will see newer bags on their site vs at the outlets.

Each to their own, but a four hundred dollar handbag for two hundred bucks seems like a deal to me... You'd have to pay tax anyway, just as you likely will at the outlet, and shipping is usually free over a hundred dollars... Personally, I can't fathom that there's nothing on the entire site that you'd like to have, but hey, if you'd rather give the purse away, that's your choice...

I would rather go to the outlet and get a new bag for $200 or less and give the older bag to someone else to use. That's just my choice. My older handbags are often barely used and in perfect condition. If I know someone else will enjoy using it after I no longer want to keep it, then I don't feel as if my money was wasted. I always offer my handbags to my sister and friends before I donate. And, I don't need the newest styles, so I can usually find many things I want in the outlet or on sale.

But there are lots of ladies that love the trade in program. They love to get the newest styles and colors are a big savings. Each to their own.

If I remember correctly you can get something less than $398. But you will pay 1/2 the price of that bag. For example if you find a bag for $200. You only pay $100. But no matter how much you spend you always pay $7.50 shipping. That's was I was told on all the trade ins I've done in the past.

Or, you could wait until you see something you like on their website, and THEN send your purse in. Btw, the outlets often have the same exact purses as Qvc. I bought the large florentine satchel for half price at the outlet when it was still "new" and full-priced on Qvc!!

True, but if you buy a less expensive handbag than the one you traded you will lose the value of your trade in. The new bag will cost half it's retail value and you will only get the difference in a credit. The rest of your trade in value is not usable for a later purchase... it's one trade in for one new bag.

I've never heard of this trade-in program and haven't seen it listed on their site. How do you go about a trade-in? Thanks

Thanks for this, the trade in policy isnt as rosy as it seems at first glance. It might work for ladies who just want a new Dooney and aren't very particular. I'd rather keep all my Dooneys and watch for for sales. Giving up a perfectly good $400 bag for a $200 discount on a $400 bag....that I must decide on immediately.....doesn't seem like much of a deal to me. I'm better off taking advantage of the 25% off discount.

At least there is an option for those who want it. Human nature - complain about everything instead of appreciating what you get....

Yes....have sent back 2 at once. But remember you have to use within 30 days.

Did they let you combine the discount and apply it to one bag?

Re: The Trade-In Program Question

shiloh 81 — Wed, 03 Dec 2014 01:45:41 GMT

No they do not let you combine. But you can also trade in key chains and accessories. But its one item for one item

I am fortunate to have a Dooney outlet about 1/2 hour drive from my home. Even though I shop there often, I still use the trade-in program at least once a year. It's a great deal and certainly something that Dooney doesn't have to do. Usually I will send in two items. This year it happened to be a bag and a wallet. Now, I have a great new bag and a wallet that I am gifting for Christmas.

As a Dooney collector since the mid-eighties, I think the trade-in program is terrific.
