Online Shopping for Clothes? Do Yourself a Big Favor & Read this Before Making a Tragic Purchase!
Online Shopping today? To be more exact - online clothes shopping today? Good idea - you can find clothes shops from all over the world that will deliver to your door step (but wait a minute - is it such a good idea)???
Well - in my opinion, clothes shopping is soooooo hard - I find it the most difficult thing to buy online. You can't feel the fabric, there are often small changes to colour, the sizing is awful (especially if you're talking about international sizing), and you can't see it on a normal person (generally you see it on a milky white, stick figure model - if you are "normal sized", and have asian colouring for instance - you're not going to tell if it's going to suit you).
So... what are you to do? No online shopping for clothes??? No - that's not what I'm saying. By all means you should shop online for clothes - there are some HUGE bargains to be had, and the range of different shops & clothing styles is amazing (especially if you come from a small country like New Zealand).
But - if you are shopping online, find the following in an online shop, or an online trader:
* A well known online shop (generally their sizes, colours etc. are more accurate)
* A well known brand (and I'm not talking about fakes here - the real thing. For example - Levis - you are always going to find the same "size" Levis, no matter where you shop)
* A trusted online shop (do a search on their name - if their sizes/colours don't match up, there is sure to be someone complaining on the internet somewhere...)
* An online shop recommended by other websites or friends (if a website is recommending a shop, generally this says good things, and as for your friends - if you can't trust them....)
* An online shop that gives you unconditional money back guarantees, and offers returns (if that skirt does look awful on you, you can always send it back - (don't get a guarantee for "only if broken" - if you don't like it, you should be able to return it).
* An online shop with a telephone number / complaints department (if there is something wrong, you want to be able to get hold of them).
