A few weeks ago I shared my experience shopping online with
Recreate Yourself. So today I wanted to do something similar, taking a step away from beauty products for a moment I want to share with
you two of my favourite online websites for buying clothes. Surf Stitch, and Lucy in the sky. These are both Australian based sites, with reasonably cheap
clothes that are great quality. I’ll start with Lucy in the sky as I’ve shopped
with them over 10 times for a number of years.
I haven’t placed an order with Lucy for awhile now, mainly
because I don’t go out as much as I used to and I don’t have a need for new
dresses! The selection of clothing is fantastic; there are a number of choices
for dresses, skirts, tops etc. The pricing is great, most dresses are well
under $100 and they offer free express postage for orders over $30! And usually
when I place an order it arrives the next day! The great thing is they offer
free returns for full priced purchases; you just need to print out a postage
label that they send you. I’ve never had to return items though, mainly because
I used to think it was a huge hassle.
What I have noticed about the clothing and the brands they
offer is that some other stores and websites offer the same if not similar item
for about twice the price. I purchased a coat from Lucy a few years ago for $85
and I noticed a store near me had a pretty similar coat (it was a different
colour) at around $135!
The only issue I have with Lucy, which is also a risk when
purchasing clothing online is the sizing. I have purchased items before that
have been a size 12, when it arrived it was more of an 8 or 10! And sometimes
the item is a little big! But majority of the time I have a great experience
with them and I continue to buy from them and so do my friends.
Next up I’ll tell you about Surf Stitch, I have purchased
from them a few times and have always been impressed, not only with the
products but also the service. They also offer free postage! I took a gamble
once and purchase swimwear, needless to say the swimwear wasn’t the correct
sizing for me, which I had expected. But the great thing about Surf Stitch is
that with orders over $50 they send you a postage label and returns form with
your order anyway. So I was easily able to return the items and receive a
refund! Because I knew how awesome this process was, I had no issue purchasing
clothing from them for Birthday and Christmas presents. I didn’t need to return
any, but I purchased from them because I knew I had this option.
The communication from the Surf Stitch staff is also
amazing. During the Christmas/New Year period I wanted to purchase some
sunglasses, and I couldn’t find the ones I wanted locally, luckily I found them
on Surf Stitch and they were reasonably priced, and also they had a 20% off
special at the time. I was a little bit concerned about how well the sunnies
would travel. So I contacted the Surf Stitch staff and asked how they were
transported etc. The feedback I received was very prompt and I felt confident
purchasing my sunnies online.
The last great thing about Surf Stitch is that they are
always have discount promotions and sales, usually if you purchase over a
certain amount you get a certain percentage off! I used one of these promotions
to also purchase Christmas and Birthday presents so that was great! I love Surf
Stitch so much that I have recommended them to my friends and family. My dad
even bought my Christmas presents off their site!
Have you experienced either of these stores or know any
other great online clothe shops?
