Vera Bradley Sales & Offers FAQ
When is Vera Bradley's Annual Outlet Sale and how much can I save?
The Annual Outlet Sale happens every spring (late April to early May) at the Allen County War Memorial Coliseum in Fort Wayne, Indiana. You can find discounts up to 70% off on retired and overstock items.
The first three days are ticketed sessions only, then the weekend opens to everyone. It's the biggest sale of the year if you can make the trip.
What's the return policy at Vera Bradley?
You can return new or unused items within 60 days with your receipt or packing slip. Refunds come back in your original payment form or as an electronic gift certificate that works online and in stores.
Without a receipt, you can still return new items for the lowest price they sold for as store credit. Just remember to keep your packing slip if you ordered online.
How do I get free shipping on my order?
Free economy shipping is available on orders of $99 or more. If you're spending between $175 and $1,174, you unlock free expedited shipping. Orders over $1,175 receive free express shipping.
Watch for seasonal promotions during holidays like Black Friday and Christmas when free shipping offers are often extended to lower order minimums.
What's the difference between outlet and regular stores?
Outlet items are often simplified versions with fewer pockets and plainer linings compared to regular store pieces. The outlet also carries exclusive patterns and styles not sold in regular stores.
When are the big Semi-Annual Sales?
Vera Bradley runs Semi-Annual Sales twice per year. The summer sale typically runs from June through mid-July with 30-50% off, while a winter clearance happens around January. These are perfect times to grab discontinued patterns and clearance items at deep discounts.
Plan ahead and mark your calendar for these events as inventory moves quickly.
How do I get deals through email signup?
Sign up for the Vera Bradley newsletter and get 15% off your first purchase. You'll also be first to know about upcoming sales, new collections, and exclusive offers.
It's free and worth it for the instant discount alone. Plus, you'll get notified about special events like Mother's Day sales and Black Friday deals before the general public.
When is the Black Friday sale at Vera Bradley?
Black Friday and Cyber Week happen in late November and extend into early December. Expect major discounts around 30% off or more on select items throughout the promotional period.
This is one of the year's biggest sales events, so plan to shop early for the best selection.
Does Vera Bradley offer any special discounts for certain groups?
Yes! Vera Bradley offers a 10% Appreciation Discount for teachers, students, first responders, military personnel, and medical professionals.
You verify your eligibility through ID.me on their website to unlock the discount. It's a great way to show appreciation to those who serve our communities.
What are all the major sales throughout the year?
Major sales include Mother's Day (May), Independence Day (July), Back to School (July-September), Labor Day (August-September), and Black Friday/Cyber Week (November-December). The Annual Outlet Sale in late April is also huge.
Can I exchange my Vera Bradley purchase for a different size or color?
Returns are allowed for new, unused items within 60 days of purchase with your receipt or packing slip. You can get a refund or store credit, which you can then use toward a different size or color.
