I have to say at first I was hesitant to start online
shopping, there was too much risk. I
like the tangibility of actually going shopping, and it is almost like a sport
to me! However, recently I started to break into it, ordering some stuff
here and there… now I feel practically addicted! Not good for a student making
minimum wage, but what can I say, its all for the cause.
I lost my innocence to www.aldoshoes.com, which wasn’t an A+ experience
but I did get my ordered and it didn’t take long to ship to me either. I did
experience quite a few issues with the website itself; mixed up order numbers
and sent my receipt to my friends email.
Forget about calling customer service, after an hour and a half waiting
on hold I gave up. In the end the order
arrived correctly, and I was so pleased to receive what seemed like a present
in the mail that I forgot all about that.
The most important thing I’ve learned from shopping online
is that reading the size description is a must! For Nasty Gal I found this to
be most important with because the sizing is inconsistent, some items I fit a
small, and some a medium. However the site makes it pretty easy for you to see
what size you want because it gives you the measurements of the garments, as
well as the pictured models size and stats.
Overall I have to say I enjoy online shopping, you get unlimited selection,
and usually you end up with better prices or deals from buying online, sounds
like a win-win situation for my closet, my credit card statement may be another
story.
