off-topic Have you ever bought clothes online?

[Heatman]

Shopping online is a very common thing today and it's because of how easy and convenient it is for you to shop and have your items delivered at your doorstep that makes a lot of people use it.

What's your experience like shopping clothes online? Do you get exactly what you ordered for or they sent something that doesn't look like what you saw online or even fit?

Yes, but I have very bad luck with sizing. They of course provide the dimensions of, say, shirts, but when they come, they just don't fit for a while after a wash, even if purchased a size larger. It takes a while for the fabric to stretch. However, I can't really complain as they're typically 50%-70% off on my favorite brands and by wearing them like this, it gives it that rustic faded look much quicker.

Shoes, I can never get online.

My wife shops the same sale as we're into beach/skate brands (Quicksilver, Billabong, Roxy, DC) and has no issues with sizing. The only issue she's had is with a 50 UV cut hoodie that, in the store for around $90, was shipped and the hoodie cut was different - the one in the store went over the brim of her hat and covered the tops of her eyes, but the one shipped only covered the top of the hat.

So, I'm beginning to think that the site sells "damaged" or "off" products they receive from their manufacturer, and that's why they're bundled and sold for 50-70% off.

As I have flat and wide feet, I can never trust getting shoes, as it would be too difficult to ship back for a replacement. I'd much prefer trying them on and getting them at the store. There just so happened to be a 50% off sale and I got some new DC shoes and a Quicksilver shirt for $60, whereas a purchase like that would put the shoes alone at around $90 and the shirt $40.

Yep, I've bought a few shirts from Amazon. I haven't had any issues with my shirts fitting, but I have had shirts get holes in them quick. Most of the shirts I bought off of Amazon have holes in them, but the ones I got from Walmart don't.

Buying shoes online is a complete NO for me. They will never send what's going to size me. I wear size 45 but whenever I get 45, it's not going to fit.

Most of the time, I have my shoemaker to do my shoes for me. I have two shoes being designed for me, hopefully they will be done by December.

Yes, and never again.
The first time the sizes were off, and it took too much time getting the seller to exchange them.

The second time the quality was so poor that I wanted a refund. The seller took their sweet time sending me everything I needed to file for the refund, and then took more time making the refund.

After these two incidences, I said I would rather buy physical where I can see and test the clothes before buying.

I love shopping online because It's easy and fun. The only setback is that clothes don't fit right sometimes, but returning them is quite easy and simple. I try to avoid mistakes by reading reviews, checking sizes, and looking at the appropriate pictures. There are endless shopping options available online.

 

[Immortal]

I sometimes buy clothes online. That's usually when I spot a good deal. One of my major concerns for buying clothes online is getting quality clothes and clothes that fit properly. When you have to return, there will be a lot of hassles

 

[Alamson]

I have bought clothes online before. I have stopped it even though it is convenient. Quality and size are the major concerns. For me the chartss don't work; they may bring clothes with the correct size written on them but they may not fit.

 

[Dead2009]

I've bought wrestling shirts and jerseys from their respective sites and had no problems with them. Same with shoes.

 

[Shawn]

I buy all my cycling and hiking apparel online. Most of it is made with polyester and spandex. Once you get a good fit with that sort of clothing, it stretches around you, too, you can figure out the size just by the charts and reading a few reviews to see if it runs small or big. I try to stick with USA-made stuff.

As for my jeans and shirts, I get them from stores mostly so I can view them to see if they will fit right.

 

[Starmix]

I buy clothes online every month at Lazada or Shopee. They always have trendy clothes attractive to my taste and eyes.

 

[Augusta]

Yes I have and it was a good deal. I had to opt for payment on delivery and the transaction was very smooth

 

[freelancermaria]

I usually shop for clothes online, particularly from Shein. Their prices are lower than what I find at brick-and-mortar stores. While the quality isn't the best, that's okay with me since I don't go out often. I only wear those clothes when I need to go grocery shopping or run some errands.

 

[Shadow]

I have done that a few times and my experience was mixed and I guess its better to shop offline for clothes

 

[Unlocked]

I buy clothes online quite a lot, especially sports gear for playing football/rugby and boots and accessories/equipment needed. Simply because it's generally a lot cheaper to buy online than to go into stores, and it saves a lot of time!

where do you buy your clothes from? What online store?

 

[Yugi]

My last purchase was, in fact, a new Game of Thrones shirt on eBay for only $7.99.

Thanks for the heads up. I was planning to get some clothes online around March this year. Figuring out where to get was what I was thinking about before I got here. So, it is good to be getting this review on where it is best to get one.

I have brought a number of clothing items online, and yes, you have to be aware of the sizing difference. I'm not from the USA, so I don't buy from Amazon, but I do like to buy stuff from Temu. It's a hit-and-miss game with them because you could be disapointed with the quality. Their toys are good though and shoes.

I too have my fair share of clothes bought through the internet. Yes, you are right, there is the problem of differences in size measurements and this becomes even harder when buying from websites from other countries. Many people have been complaining about Temu too and I have had my own issues with them too..
