On Monday, J. Crew slashed prices across the site by 40%. For customers who checked out before noon, the discount was even higher, at 50%-off.

However, it seems that traffic driven by the deal has caused the site to crash.

Reports of J. Crews website being slow or down began at around noon ET. As of 12:55 p.m. ET, the site was still inaccessible to Business Insider writers.
