Have you ever ordered clothes online?

I have bought many things online such as books, video games, toys and DVDs. But I have never had the courage to order clothes from some of my favorite retailers websites. Some of the reasons why are: 1) I will order a size and it doesn't fit. 2) The colour is different in person. 3)I will be unable to return/exchange it, (for example a sale item). What about you, have you ever order apparel or shoes online? What was your experience?

I love shopping on-line. It is so much more convenient and saves a lot of time and hassle. I live about thirty to forty miles from most stores, so I can find just about everything on-line without having to drive or stand in lines. I can also comparison shop easier to get the best deals. I have never had a problem with wrong fit or color, but all of the retailers I have purchased clothing through have wonderful return policies if there had been a problem.

I can never do that.I am very particular about my dress.I always wanted to feel the material see the color and try it to see whether it suits and fits me before buying it.So mail order is strictly no for me.

I have ordered Tshirts on ebay and have been very satisfied with it. There were some shipping problems but otherwise I received them and they fit me well and were exactly as described

Ordering clothes on eBay is something I've been interested in one day doing.

More than one.. I can not remember exactly how many times? but I did. Not bad I receive what I expected, and they all fit me perfectly. No complaints at all.

I have never ordered any clothes or shoes online. I'm always afraid that when I recieve those items, they won't fit me because they'll be either too big or too small. I'm afraid to order online, especially jeans because I have to try my jeans on first because it seems, whenever I buy jeans in the size that I do wear, they always end up running too big or too small.

thanks for responding. I don't think I will ever order jeans online. I have to try them on first before I buy.

yes you can, also you can call and asked to talk to the department heard and tell them why you find their product wasteful, but generally they give you a return card and you can mail it back if it is not right. when you select them. select a color that you feel goes with your body. Most often models don't wear the very colors that are on sale.
