JanSport Sales FAQ
When does JanSport have sales?
JanSport runs sales year-round through their Sale section, with major events during Memorial Day, Labor Day, Back-to-School (August), and Black Friday/Cyber Monday. Smaller sales happen around 4th of July and throughout the year with rotating discounts on select styles.
Check their Sale page regularly because inventory and discounts change frequently. Popular styles like SuperBreak Plus, Right Pack, and Big Student often appear in sale rotations.
How much can I save during Black Friday at JanSport?
Black Friday and Cyber Monday are the biggest sale events, offering up to 50% off select backpacks and bags. The sale typically starts mid-November and runs through early December, often including free shipping and bonus items with minimum purchases.
Not every item hits 50% offโmost range between 20-40% off. Past sales have included free gifts when you spend $75 or more, plus free standard shipping on most orders.
Does JanSport offer a student discount?
Yes, U.S. college and university students get up to 15% off through verification with SheerID. You can use this discount once every 30 days by getting a new code each time. Teachers also qualify for the same discount.
After verifying your student or teacher status, you'll receive a single-use code for 15% off your purchase at JanSport.com. Just re-verify when you're ready to shop again after 30 days.
What's JanSport's warranty policy?
JanSport offers a lifetime warranty on most backpacks and bags in the U.S. If your pack breaks, send it to their warranty center and they'll fix it or replace it. The warranty covers manufacturing defects for the lifetime of the product, not your lifetime.
Does JanSport offer free shipping?
Free standard shipping is available on U.S. orders over $50. Orders under that amount have a flat $5 shipping fee. During major sales like Black Friday, free shipping promotions may have lower minimums or no minimum at all.
Standard shipping takes 5-7 business days. Expedited and overnight shipping options are available for an additional fee.
When is the best time to buy JanSport backpacks?
The best times are Black Friday/Cyber Monday (up to 50% off), Back-to-School season in August (end-of-season pricing), and major holidays like Memorial Day and Labor Day (up to 30% off select styles). The Sale section also has rotating deals throughout the year.
If you can wait, Black Friday offers the deepest discounts. But if you need a backpack for the school year, August's Back-to-School sales provide solid savings when you actually need the gear.
What's JanSport's return policy?
You have 30 days from purchase to return unused, undamaged items in original condition. Refunds go back to your original payment method. Apparel must be unworn, unwashed, and in original packaging.
Final clearance items aren't eligible for returns. Most refunds are processed within 5-10 business days after the warehouse receives and inspects your return.
How often does JanSport restock sold-out items?
Restocks happen regularly but timing varies by style. Popular backpacks typically restock within a few weeks, especially during peak seasons like Back-to-School. Check the website frequently since restocks aren't always announced.
Are JanSport backpacks ever 50% off?
Yes, but only during Black Friday/Cyber Monday on select styles. Most other sales offer 20-30% off. The Sale section has various discounts on different items throughout the year, with some clearance items marked down even more as inventory clears.
Remember, “up to 50% off” means only certain items hit that discount level. The majority of sale items during Black Friday will be in the 20-40% off range.
Does JanSport have Memorial Day or Labor Day sales?
Yes, both holidays feature sales with up to 30% off select styles. Memorial Day sales run late May, while Labor Day sales happen early September. These are among the better sale events outside of Black Friday and Back-to-School season.
Both sales typically last through the holiday weekend and sometimes extend a few days longer. Watch for announcements on their homepage and social media channels when these holidays approach.
