Online Shopping -What makes you buy online?

[Little]

Just want to know what does everyone like or hate about online shopping?

[EekaMouse]

the wait & the shipping cost

[Little]

good point, anyone else?

[I'm broke]

TRUE! But I love free shipping and no tax on certain sites.. don't forget promo codes ;)

the wait & the shipping cost

[thelion1856]

sometimes the boutiqs dont got certain things in & on line u know your going to be able to get sopmething if u quick enough. Everything is listed for you so u can scroll & see what you like. Plus you dont gotta go to an actual store to buy shit. You can buy anything using a laptop or computer at work if u wanted to.

Also gas prices are going up!!!!!!!!!!!!!

free shipping and no tax? what site u getting things from?

[Little]

yea.....gas prices are going nuts...

[Little]

No one really mentioned anything about the actual FUNCTION of the site?? or the actual PRODUCT..??

[Insight51]

well obviously there is the uncertainty factor of online purchases.
I mean you never know if what you get is gonna look good on you or even fit rite. Lufckily I havnt really had that problem, I tend to find a brand that I like and fits well then just stick to it.

Gettin jeans online was scary, I got a pair of 575's and Evisu's, both times I was like " plz fit plz fit". the 575's ran a little long and the Evisus were fine, so whew!

Pounds to USD = teh ghey!

Ummm, ya waiting is the worse though, 15 days on UK orders!!!!

pros: easy shopping from home, exclusive online clothing/shoes, free shipping (sometimes), having certain clothes in stock compared to in the store

cons: the wait, not being able to try on the clothes, returns (shipping costs)

[ice grillz]

thing i hate about online shopping is that you never know exactly when they are going to be up online.
even when you do, the guy with the faster modem will beat you to it.

[contaygious]

really big zoomed in pics.......i hate how boundless ny has tiny pics

[Little]

what if the shop offers money back guarentee? will that help?

[EekaMouse]

TRUE! But I love free shipping and no tax on certain sites.. don't forget promo codes ;)

What makes me buy online...

Not one good indie store in London, that stock all the good gear...

So i have no choice....

Plus the Dollar is a mighty good friend to us brits!

[Hendriks]

Hate= Extremely expensive shipping to Canada, jacked-up prices
Love= Able to get item I would otherwise never be able to cop around where i live

[yvr76]

the pros and cons are pretty much covered, add a con with potential customs and duties when shipping into Canada. :confused:

emm.....ok.....I'll keep those in mind....thanks guys, just trying to get an idea of how to handle e-commerce... we've just started.

[cuddles]

I have to order pretty much every single thing I wear from the internet cuz as big of a city vegas is, it is lacking in the current streetwear market.

I hate ordering from east coast sites because it takes over a week usually to arrive but I love ordering from the west coast sites because it only takes 2 days to arrive usually.

I hate not know the fit of some products but it really isn't too hard if you know your general size.

I hate having to wait online and keep checking for various sites to drop clothes from various brands.

Hopefully Fruition can do something about the current lack of streetwear apparel in vegas.

emm.....ok.....I'll keep those in mind....thanks guys, just trying to get an idea of how to handle e-commerce... we've just started.

these are a must for me
-big pictures with lots of angles
-actual person rockin them not just sittin there on a white backdrop
-measurements, for jeans especially, like waist, leg, crotch to knee. knee to leg...ect
-price match if you can
-stay on top of whats out of stock, alot of times I want to get something for a specic time, and the store says its in stock but like two days later I get the "sorry piece X is out of stock":thumbsdown:
-quick reply to questions.

[Little]

Ok, I think at this point people's common dislike about ordering online is the 'wait'. I am guess the New Zealand customers are the same - ordering from overseas takes forever to get to NZ....so I guess it's a good thing that we're offering similiar stuff as Threadless but doesn't take as long to arrive...

shits not in my area
