Top 5 Tips in How to Buy Fashion Online

How do I buy fashion online, I hear you ask......Well me I love it! Being a very busy career professional with very little time to shop I turned to online fashion about 2 yrs ago. I generally know what I'm looking for and can easily find those items online in half the amount of time it would take me to get in my car and head to the shops. I know you're thinking strolling through the shops is relaxing and
I agree, however I don't have any time. Hence my new found passion to buy fashion online!

What websites are legit?, Where do you start? What if it doesn't fit? Well that's where I come in. From my 2yrs experience with online fashion here's my Top 5 Tips in How to Buy Online Fashion Now I have had my fair share of learning experiences, some of them very funny (maybe another time I can fill you in), so that's why I'm giving you my Top 5 Tips to buy fashion online to save you the headaches

So hear they are:

1)Refunds & Exchanges - A good website should have an FAQ's or Customer Service area that tells you all about their refunds & exchanges policy. You should be able to return the item for refund, exchange or credit if your reason is fair. For example. Wrong size, wrong colour or defected. Generally your item will arrive with a Return & Exchange form for easy processing.
2)Size Chart - This is a must with any decent online fashion site. The Size Chart should give you the measurement of each size they use for easy reference. A very good site will also go further and provide measurements if the item has stretchy material.
3)Secure Payment - Look for websites that have a secure way of paying. These will have a padlock at the bottom of the screen when you are filling in the payment details. Paypal is a very easy and secure way to buy fashion online providing the ability to direct debit from your bank account & credit card payments.
4)Shipping/Postage - Under the Customer Service, Shipping or FAQ's area the delivery time should be clear. Make sure you check these prices before buying your item as these can be quite pricey. You also need to know how long your item will take to arrive and if they guarantee delivery or your money back.
5)Privacy Protection - Be sure to check the Privacy Statement to see what they will do with your personal information.

I have some awesome favourite sites that can be found on my blog.
