FAQ
Are there any other things I should know when buying clothes online?
Before shopping online for clothes, there are many factors you should consider. First, you need to know your size. Although it may seem obvious, most companies won't give this information. You might have to guess.
Also, consider shipping costs. Shipping costs can vary depending on which item you purchase. It is important to know exactly where your parcel is going. Some items ship directly to the manufacturer, while others go through third-party warehouses. This can alter delivery times.
Finally, read reviews carefully. There are many poor experiences. Do not let another person's bad experience affect yours.
What are the pros and cons of shopping online?
Online shopping has many advantages for both retailers and consumers. Online shopping offers convenience. This allows customers to shop whenever they like. Because you don’t have to go into shops to shop, there are less restrictions on what you can buy. There are also disadvantages. Online shoppers don't always know what an item costs before they purchase it. This could make them overspend. Customers may also feel more comfortable buying online from large-box stores as they are used to seeing the products in person. Customers who purchase something online, then decide not to keep it, won't be able to return the physical product. Online shopping could also make brick-and–mortar stores less competitive in order to keep their customers.
Why I shouldn’t believe the hype surrounding sales in online shops and stores?
Sometimes, sites will overstate the starting price of an object to make you appear to be saving more. Just put the item you're interested in into your cart, so you don't lose it, and then do a quick Google search for the designer's name and the type of product you are shopping for. It may turn out that the incredible deal you thought was yours is actually quite reasonable. It is possible to get the same item at a cheaper price.

They then make a profit by selling your stolen information on a black market. Here are some tips to help you keep your business online safe.

It prevents anyone else from reading what you enter. Make sure that you have a valid certificate issued from a recognized CA when choosing an online store. When you browse the web, look for a green padlock icon at the URL bar.

Instead, save them securely on your computer. A good rule of thumb is to change your passwords once every three years.

Always get proof of delivery before you ship anything. If you aren't satisfied with the service rendered, please contact the company right away.
