Jams World

Their return policy is not as easy as you would think. I was told I had to return to the store the next day because the sales rep. didn’t want to be the one to process a refund for such a large amount. I felt their was something personal such as a large commission would be missed out on as a reason both the sales rep. and the store manager were reluctant to issue a refund. I had the receipt, clothing, but then noticed that none of the items had a tag on. I was looked at as if I removed them. The store manager then admitted that she had removed them all at the time of purchase unbeknownst to me?
I felt that was done purposely. Coming from a sales back round I knew it was going to sting to have the items returned if someone was getting commission, I just thought that it wouldn’t have been delivered in such a tacky manner.

Last week I ordered two dresses from JamsWorld online. Shipping two dresses was $ 20. ground, MUCH higher than normal. I purchased the dresses based on their size chart, and they were HUGE. I called to do an exchange, and their exchange policy is nonexistant. You must return the existing items at your expense, and reorder new items online, on your own, either paying for them up front, or waiting to order until they receive your merchandise and process your refund. WHERE IS ZAPPO’s WHEN YOU NEED THEM.
All in all, two dresses will cost me $ 60.00 in shipping and three weeks of my time. NO THANK YOU.
I love the product but will never, NEVER order from JamsWorld Online again. Buyer beware.

Should I leave a 5 star review each time someone stops me in the street to compliment my dress or to ask if what I wear is Jams World? :)

So, its summer time… Yeah I can go to the Jams World Whse. BOOOOO!!!
nothing on my size! What a waste!
Instead bought 10×10 cottton squares
To make quilt or make my own!.. Ha!
Missed the sale… Crap!
Oh! Welll, I will try
To come in for the summer sale.
I am hoping to find other designs and styles too.

IF you like the Jams World style than this may be worth a trip. Fairly large, clean store with plenty of stock and friendly staff is tough to notice in the middle of a large warehouse streetfront. Small sign is the only marker. No dedicated parking. Prices are about 30−50% less than Jams World stores at Ward. Men’s shirts were in the $ 50-​$ 65 range. But if you are not a fan of the bright ’80’s Italian Riviera style prints the high prices will not entice you.

Love this store! When you think of muus muus and aloha shirts you often think tacky, but this place is the couture of hawaiian prints! You will surely find something you adore. My boyfriend and I came into the store looking to find matching outfits and the sales associate was very helpful and found several matching options. We ended up walking away with one that satisfies us both. I actually bought another because I liked the fit so much. The fabrics are soft and are comfortable to wear. The only thing that got us are the prices. It’s not cheap, but since we were playing tourists I didn’t mind the price too much.

Jams World is a true factory warehouse store. This little store is chock full of merchandise but with a limited selection of styles, prints, and sizes. If you like Jams’ clothing (bright tropical surf and beach wear) and don’t mind last year’s prints, you will probably find something you like at 50−75% off retail.
Several of the women who work there are really nice. During my last trip they were chatting and talking to me as if I was part of the family. It was a hoot.
TIP for women: If you haven’t bought Jams before, TRY on before you buy. Sizing is all over the place and the store won’t take returns. I fit a size S shirt, a size L skirt, and a size L jacket; my normal size is petite M. The fitting booths don’t offer much privacy, but at least there is no waiting.

Did a fashion show for them. Great customer service in shop an admin office. Cool clothes, old lady fashion but made for comfort! I’m thinking about getting an accessory from the shop since the bags are fun, colorful, and BIG! I say, try to at least walk into the store, this company has been around for a long time and there’s probably a reason why. See if you like anything and if not, see if you’re mom or grandma might. You may not spot the trendiest outfit in town but you’re sure enough going to at least find something someone may like or at least enjoy seeing my girlfriend Brigitte on the label-she’s a knockout!

I absolutely love this ‘Made In Hawaii” brand featuring rayon fabric. At first I thought the prints were all crazy and über-​colorful but there are so many prints (Copyrighted like Tommy Bahama) that aren’t as «all up in your face.» I don’t like everything, BTW. Some prints are very loud. I like bright, not loud. My husband thinks that they are too much– too many colors together. I’ve seen this brand all over the island– in small stores, department stores like Macy’s, and namesake stores in Ward Centers and Royal Hawaiian Shopping Center. Retail prices are high– up to $ 160 for a dress. My dear husband bought me a (Mariah) dress in the Outrigger for $ 130 (it was marked $ 160) — I saw it in the window on the mannequin and tried it on– it fit me like a glove; it’s gorgeous and feminine. It was my Valentine’s Day gift (he’s good to me) — that was a search in itself (you know how it is, you have a gift card to a place, and you’re stumped, which is ironic because it’s burning a hole in your pocket). So, that purchase marked the start. The nice sales lady told me about the Outlet store, but quickly added that the dress just purchased was not one of the ones available there (past season stuff ends up there).
Imagine my surprise when I found out about this outlet store (My love affair with outlet shopping began early as my mom took me to the ones in the Bay Area when I was 9 years old– Esprit). We chose a driving day; we came here after breakfast. Park in the parking lot. It’s a huge store carrying all the brands by Jams World (Surf Line). There are dressing rooms in the front. The other patrons besides myself were senior ladies with their husbands– probably retired. One of them was probably a local, because she kept talking about missing a big sale just a few days ago; her husband wasn’t really all too concerned though (I thought that the prices were good). There were two ladies working there, busily working on more inventory (this is headquarters– where the orders are filled on the website too). In the front are the higher priced items: dresses were $ 55. In the racks to the side, were clearance items, mostly for women, skirts, tops, pants, and vests. It’s an odd-​shaped building (addition maybe?). You go through the narrow hallway into a warehouse; bathrooms just past the hallway, but the door is kept open (FYI). Here there are racks and tables of bargains, women’s (impressive inventory), men’s (kinda small), and children’s (not bad). Besides the clothes, there are shorts, surf shorts, exclusive fabric swatches (in cubed bunches) and flip flops. So many choices! A nice breeze from the open windows is welcome as it can get a little warm inside. The dresses (Mariah & Connie– contemporary fit) and skirts seem to fit me the best– very flattering. The tanks do not look right on me. What did I get? I got four pretty skirts for about $ 53 (score!). I should of gotten that blue dress (dresses are my favorite thing to wear) though– next time? Parking was a little high– we were there a while. I like to browse through everything. And of course try everything on. (My husband was very patient– kudos to him.) Next time, I’ll concentrate on the dresses and the skirts.
Summary store specifics: parking garage, clean, large open outlet store with lots of variety of merchandise in varying price ranges and sizes that’s clearly marked and numerous markdowns/​clearance racks (love that), bathrooms, dressing rooms, and non-​pushy staff. (Dark outlet stores are bad.)
I saw someone wearing a tunic from jams World– it was beautiful. It’s funny how you start noticing other people on vacation wearing certain brands. This is one of my favorite Hawaiian brands now.
