Thanks! I picked up a dress and leggings for soon-to-arrive DD and a dress for DN. Used promo code SS12SAS and got an additional 10% off.

Thanks. I buy something everytime people post a tea collection sale. I have enough though so I bought stuff in size 5 which won't be worn for another 2 years. They are cute though, I am excited.
Found code 'SS12SAS' on retailmenot for an extra 10% off. Came close to covering my shipping cost.

Thanks both of you! I got the Artisan Lotus dress and capri leggings for DD1. She's 6 years, 48 inches, and I ordered size 7. I was going to get 8 but some of the reviews I read said that Tea had "normalized" its sizing this year, so I didn't want the outfit to be huge. Or should I call and switch to size 8? I mostly want it for next year, seeing how many outfits are hanging in her closet but I am not going to be able to resist giving it to her sooner.
ETA Use code CSRFS for free shipping! It did not stack with the 10% off code above, so depending on the size of your order, you may want to use one or other. I got just one dress and legging set, so the free ship code was so nice to have!

Nah. To be honest I usually put 2 different sizes of dresses in her closet. So she'll probably be wearing those sized 5 dresses next year. That's the beauty of dresses though, right? If they get a bit short then just throw on some leggings or bike shorts. If its a little long, then who cares?

Oh phooey, I didn't find a code. Well, I'm glad others benefitted. :) Gosh, they had some cute dresses this time!
ETA: Oh yay! I called and CS was able to use the FS code citymama posted. Hooray! Thanks citymama. :D

Anyone else having problems with them accepting your credit card??? I keep getting Payment failed - not sure why! Certainly shouldn't be failing. Then we I go to use Paypal its asking me for different credit card with a different confirmed address. weird.
Now i'm on hold - for 15 minutes. Then its finally my turn, it rings a couple times and the line is dead. really getting pi**ed!

No problem with CC, when I called it said "one" person ahead of me, and rang right through. :)

YES!
This just happened to me.
I tried two different cards. Both "payment failed". Maybe the items are no longer in stock. Boooo!
My cards better not be charged for the 5 times I tried!

Just spoke to someone, they've apparently reached their max # of credit card orders for today...trying to resolve it within the hour.
the website now says they are having CC processing issues.

This is happening to me too. 5 callers ahead of me. Maybe this is meant to be as DD doesn't need more cute dresses but the tea dresses are so cute and are such a good price for 15.00. Ok..now I am 2nd in line and only a minute has passed.
Csr said the system should be up and running in 10 minutes. She could not take my cc info but said to try later or she can also call when the system is running.

I'm sorry you guys are having trouble with the orders but don't give up! I hate to be an enabler, but I would hang in there - the last time a sale this good came around was 3 years ago, and even then there was no free ship code! I paid $25 for a $60 dress set, which I think is a deal. Also, I think they have some super cute dresses on sale this time, not just the unpopular items. I've been drooling over that Artisan Lotus dress for quite some time now!

Wish I had known that this kind of a sale is rare. I have never ordered from TC before but put a dress in my shopping cart and couldn't decide if I should order anything else. Now it's sold out in the size I need. Oh, well.

Thanks OP! 3 dresses and 2 pairs of leggings for DD, and a T-shirt for DS, for $75. I haven't given Tea a try yet since nothing has really appealed to me in the past but this time I liked a lot of it - tried to resist since this morning but gave in :D . Missed out on another dress in the process of resisting, lol - oh well!

Does anyone know if they will replenish their stock at some point during the sale? I was out for most of the day today and now all the sizes I need are sold out. :(

Cool. I was thinking of summer sales, but I may not have been paying close enough attention. I've never managed to stack FS on a good sale before either.

Sigh, I went back for seconds. I was so good at first, only buying the girls' birthday dresses. But there were two super cute dresses I kept thinking about. They were OOS for their current size, but Tea is the only brand that actually fits their "correct" size, so I don't feel bad sizing up in tunic-y dresses, I think they'll still look ok, or they can wear them to preschool in the fall with long sleeve tees and leggings.
Free ship didn't work this time (got a message that either meant I had used it before, or too many people had used it, wasn't sure) but the 10% off code did, so thanks to PP for that!

oh boy-- in for 4 dresses,2 leggings. i used the 10% coupon because that turned out to be the best savings for me (8 dollars vs. 7) i love tea...but i hope they really did "normalize" their sizes a bit -- i bought "up" (though i've found lately it's hard to do-- my child is growing like crazy)
the funny thing about tea is... i would have said it ran smaller, but then i still can put my child in some of her 2T "dresses" --as long shirts with leggings, but... how is that possible? i just ordered SIXES :) we're on our third year of wearing those clothes-- i bought them when she was two!!!

I also love Tea for DS. Too bad there was nothing left for boys other than baby sizes.

I've noticed that too, they work as dresses AND tunics. :) But 2T for a size six is pretty impressive.
PP, Tea doesn't seem the replenishing sort of company. In fact, once I placed an order and they wrote to say "oops, we were out" and gave me a free code to make up for it (which it didn't really, I wanted those dresses!)

twinfoxes--i'm not sure she is *quite* a 6 yet...i'm ordering ahead (i hope) because we have so many clothes right now. (and i did get one dress in a 5 because they didn't have a 6 and 5 still fits...we just got a few tea clothes in 5 recently *gulp*)
that said, i ordered 4 size 6 dresses from hartstrings this week. they looked HUGE when they arrived but i thought "better try these on anyway.... well-- THEY FIT!!!!! they are sorta long, and have room, but....
they weren't ridiculous by any stretch :(
i can't have my baby growing like that! oh my stars-- SIX? that's huge to me :(

Seitvonzu, you were smart to size up - I optimistically ordered size 7 for my (very tall) 6 year old, since I kept hearing how Tea sizing had become more "typical." Well, my order just arrived and while I LOVE the dress, it looks very tunic length even right now (and I was buying ahead for the Fall) and the leggings look tiny! I looked online and the dress is available in an 8 but the leggings aren't, so I am going to have to stick with this for now. I'll get her to try them on when she returns from school - fingers crossed they will fit!
