Shopping online is a very common thing today and it's because of how easy and convenient it is for you to shop and have your items delivered at your doorstep that makes a lot of people use it.

What's your experience like shopping clothes online? Do you get exactly what you ordered for or they sent something that doesn't look like what you saw online or even fit?
 
Yes, but I have very bad luck with sizing. They of course provide the dimensions of, say, shirts, but when they come, they just don't fit for a while after a wash, even if purchased a size larger. It takes a while for the fabric to stretch. However, I can't really complain as they're typically 50%-70% off on my favorite brands and by wearing them like this, it gives it that rustic faded look much quicker.

Shoes, I can never get online.

My wife shops the same sale as we're into beach/skate brands (Quicksilver, Billabong, Roxy, DC) and has no issues with sizing. The only issue she's had is with a 50 UV cut hoodie that, in the store for around $90, was shipped and the hoodie cut was different - the one in the store went over the brim of her hat and covered the tops of her eyes, but the one shipped only covered the top of the hat.

So, I'm beginning to think that the site sells "damaged" or "off" products they receive from their manufacturer, and that's why they're bundled and sold for 50-70% off.

As I have flat and wide feet, I can never trust getting shoes, as it would be too difficult to ship back for a replacement. I'd much prefer trying them on and getting them at the store. There just so happened to be a 50% off sale and I got some new DC shoes and a Quicksilver shirt for $60, whereas a purchase like that would put the shoes alone at around $90 and the shirt $40.
 
Yep, I've bought a few shirts from Amazon. I haven't had any issues with my shirts fitting, but I have had shirts get holes in them quick. Most of the shirts I bought off of Amazon have holes in them, but the ones I got from Walmart don't.

Buying shoes online is a complete NO for me. They will never send what's going to size me. I wear size 45 but whenever I get 45, it's not going to fit.

Most of the time, I have my shoemaker to do my shoes for me. I have two shoes being designed for me, hopefully they will be done by December.
 
Yes, and never again.
The first time the sizes were off, and it took too much time getting the seller to exchange them.

The second time the quality was so poor that I wanted a refund. The seller took their sweet time sending me everything I needed to file for the refund, and then took more time making the refund.

After these two incidences, I said I would rather buy physical where I can see and test the clothes before buying.
 
I love shopping online because It's easy and fun. The only setback is that clothes don't fit right sometimes, but returning them is quite easy and simple. I try to avoid mistakes by reading reviews, checking sizes, and looking at the appropriate pictures. There are endless shopping options available online.
 
I sometimes buy clothes online. That's usually when I spot a good deal. One of my major concerns for buying clothes online is getting quality clothes and clothes that fit properly. When you have to return, there will be a lot of hassles
 
I have bought clothes online before. I have stopped it even though it is convenient. Quality and size are the major concerns. For me the chartss don't work; they may bring clothes with the correct size written on them but they may not fit.
 
I buy all my cycling and hiking apparel online. Most of it is made with polyester and spandex. Once you get a good fit with that sort of clothing, it stretches around you, too, you can figure out the size just by the charts and reading a few reviews to see if it runs small or big. I try to stick with USA-made stuff.

As for my jeans and shirts, I get them from stores mostly so I can view them to see if they will fit right.
