Is buying clothing from online only stores a good idea?

I visit a website called AmiClubWear.com and I LOVE the shoes and dresses and pants and shirts and pretty much everything but I am always hesitant to purchase even though they have a return policy. does anybody think it's okay to buy from them or should I just save my money?

Sometimes! Sometimes it's hard to know what styles and sizes may fit you better. Once you get the fit down of their clothing, I think your okay. The only thing I hate about some online shopping are shipping and return shipping charges. But if you weigh your options like how much it would cost you to drive to said store if it were brick & mortar it may end up being the same. I say if you like it and your not losing money stay with it!

Sure, as long as the site has a good return policy! I actually prefer to buy clothes online.

It all depends on the size and age of children. For example my oldest loves Levis so I go to the store and try them on. Then I go online and find any sales for them and buy them.

I live rural and do 85% of my shopping online (the other 15% is groceries). I've had good luck and bad luck. As the other poster mentioned, once you find your size for a particular online store it makes purchases much easier and returns less likely. If I really love something I often order it in 2 sizes so I can pick the best fit for me and send the other back. Watch online for promo codes for free shipping at your favorite online retailer. I check out a site called retailmenot and couponcabin that have current promo codes listed.

Since I hate to try on clothing inside a store, I prefer to purchase clothing online. Most stores now offer true to sizing reviews which is crucial before anyone will buy clothing online.

I think if its a brand you have worn before and know your size its a great idea. I know I always have an issue with Old Navy because I might wear a certain size in there jeans and a differetn size in there work pants. I guess if you know what you are looking for and you have shopped there before it's great, unless they have a great return policy! =)

Childrens and mens clothing seems to be the easiest fits for online clothing. I have found that if I have shopped at a particular store previously, then it is easier to buy clothes for myself (I'm more familiar with the sizing chart).

I love buying cloths on line because I can often find much better deals than if I ran around town looking for deals in the stores. The thing to do is carefully read the site's return policy and make sure you carefully use the site's sizing chart to pick clothing that will most closely fit you. I also like to wait for free shipping coupons, that way if I do have to return something it has only cost me one way shipping. (assuming the site requires you to pay for the return shipping) Often the site has return labels already in the package for you to use in case something does not fit. Another great tip is to read the customer reviews first. The customers will let you know if an item runs true to size or is too big/small, is poor material or is a great buy. I live by customer reviews!
