Zara sold out items
Missed out on an item? There are Zara shopping hacks for that. I’ve noticed that a lot of the best-sellers often get restocked, even a year later
If an item is on the verge of being re-stocked, it’ll have a ‘coming soon’ message with an envelope next to the sold out size. Click on it to add your email address, then you’ll be alerted by email as soon as it gets re-stocked.
Zara has also started adding new products before they launch, as a kind of ‘sneak peek’ so this is a good way to ensure you don’t miss out on new launches.
Be aware that you won’t be the only person signed up for these alerts, so be quick to log on to the site as soon as you get the email.
You can also check the availability of the item in store, but I’ve found that the tool isn’t always accurate, as it can take a few hours for the store’s stocks to align with the online ones.
Zara discount codes
Sadly, Zara famously don’t do discount codes, nor do they offer student discounts, so if you’re after a bargain, you’ll have to wait for the sales. Employees do have a 25% off store discount though, which is said to also work on sale items.
Zara sales 2021 UK
On top of the two big annual end of season sales, there are a few smaller ones peppered throughout the year, such as the Zara Black Friday sale.
Zara hardly ever reveals when its sale will happen, so the best way to know in advance is to sign up to the newsletter, because you will usually get notified in advance. The next one is likely to be at the end of November, to tie in with Black Friday.
My top tip: create an account if you haven’t already and bookmark any items you’ve got your eye on. This way you can easily see which items have been reduced and add them to your shopping basket quickly.
If you want extra discounts, it’s worth being patient. Historically, although Zara sales start with an ‘up to 50% off message’, not all items are reduced by that much. If you can wait a week or two, more lines will be added to the sale and discounts will increase.
Zara free delivery
The cheapest way to get your Zara order delivered is to get it sent direct to a store of your choice, for free. Sometimes my order is even available the very next day in store so it can be super quick.
But if you’re spending over £50, then it’s free anyway.
Zara beauty hack
If you’re looking to stock up on some makeup now that we’re allowed out, you have to check out the new Zara Beauty section. It features stunning eyeshadow, lipstick, nail polish and accessories in cruelty-free formulas, beautiful refillable packaging and over 130 dreamy colours. With prices starting at just £5.99, the Zara beauty section is well worth it.
Zara home hack
This tip doesn’t actually involve the main site, but Zara home. Did you know that as well as homeware, it sells some amazing loungewear too? It’s not all cheap but there are some great pieces like trousers and tunics for under £30.
