Been shopping a couple of times over the festive period to try and pick up some bargain sales and everything is rubbish (Cardiff/Swansea etc) everything is just cheap turd and if you want a decent set of jeans your looking at £85-120. Generally i just hate shopping cause i get frustrated cause there aint nothing i like and if it is im paying top wack for it.

So im giving online shopping a go for a change :)

Now i have been told about http://www.asos.com/ and http://www.mandmdirect.com/ and there seems to be some very nice clothes on here for excellent value for money.

Anyone ordered anything from the above, im thinking about buying many sizes in the same clothes/jeans and just returning them all in one go. Anyone know what the returns are like?

Anyone else had any other good experiences with online shopping for clothes at good value, recommend some good website?

Many thanks

Dean
 
Asos returns are very good and the sizes for their own brand stuff come up like topman, be careful with some of the Asos stuff as its hit and miss, my advice is buy it and return.
 
Never had any problems with m&m, have a quick look at quidco as theyre also back on @5pc, also had no tracking issues with them yet, but had no returns either so i cant advise there...
 
Never had a problem with asos stuff fitting well. Just noticed they're having a sale, which is the only time I buy stuff from them - so yay me!
 
I just bought some Mish Mash Jeans and a Duffs hoody from M&M... they're generally pretty good delivery/returns wise.
 
Asos +1
Goos sale and no probs with returns
I also use Hardcloud and Extremepie - ongoing offers, discount codes etc throughout the year
 
Never understood the point of buying clothes online.

You don't get to try them on, you don't get to hang items in front of one another to see if they "go", you don't get to make sure that what you are getting a) fits properly, and b) isn't damaged.

Buying online just seems like a real lazy way of buying clothes that (potentially) ends up more complex and time consuming than actually getting off your arse.

But if I've gone to town and found what I like, I... buy it.

Whats the point in waiting another 3-5 days, and then risk the item being damaged.

All to save a fiver? No thanks, I'm not that hard up.

Totally agree! Id never buy any expensive clothing online. Just had a look on that asos and ended up buying a couple of £6 t-shirts just to wear underneath other tops, so Im not particularly bothered if the fit isn't perfect. How on earth people manage to buy shirts online I'll never understand, becaus ethe fit/material/style varies so much.

You save a lot, I was looking at a pair of diesels on that asos site, and my local place that I go to, was £35 (in the sale) more expensive. Tell you what I'd much rather have that 35 quid in my pocket

And then when you factor in the fuel of going to the nearest highstreet/out of town shopping centre, parking, wear and tear on the car, I've actually saved about £7.50.

If I'm going into town to look for clothes, I buy them. End.

I don't have to try again. Fortunately I don't live in the middle of an urban hell, and as such I'd have to travel to "try before I buy".

As I said, saving a few quid is simple more hassle than its worth. Plus I'm not waiting 5 days for a shirt/pair of jeans/whatever. I'd rather pay the premium to have them there and then.

That's a credit crunch beating attitude if I've ever heard one. Some of us are willing to wait to save money, because we are sensible. £35 for the "bonus" of getting them straight away is a pathetic waste of money IMO.
