There is a risk of being disappointed with online shopping, but also the chance to get scratched clothes or unstretched brands in Canada while saving time.And a lot of money.

Do you tend to buy too small clothes or a dress that you can only wear and if you lose 2 kg?The discounts make you choose outfits that never leave your wardrobe?On the web, the reason is even more than a store.Especially if you order clothes From a new brand abroad and you have to pay delivery costs for returns.

To fully benefit From the windfall on the web, you must register for the lists for sending your favorite stores.Several times a week, you will receive different promotions.Hence the challenge for compulsive buyers: you have to wait to wait a fall in prices.

For more rational magazines, this is perhaps an opportunity to order this gap jeans tried in store (at 30% discount) or children's clothes on sale on the Old Navy site.For those who want original parts, this is an opportunity to buy clothes scratched at third of the price.

Do you regret not having bought the Marais USA shoes during your recent stay in New York?Have you discovered Esther Williams swimwear in Miami?Buy them on the web in the comfort of your home!

Magasinage en ligne: le danger, le plaisir et le gros lot

For some, buying clothes without going through the fitting room is inconceivable.True, a high -waisted dress is easier to buy than skinny jeans.Hence the importance of knowing your measures.

Website like Asos, located in England, allow you to see models scrolling with clothes.It is more revealing than the static shots of other sites.And delivery is Free!Several sites, such as the American Modcloth, allow you to read the comments of other buyers.

A word of advice: take the time to analyze the tissue of the coveted song, to check the lengths by comparing them with clothes you have at home.Apprehend the worst instead of coveting the best.And beware of the “improved” photos of online stores: polyester, it's not cotton!

Another advice: read the smallest details before placing an order, about sales taxes that may apply, especially.And you knew that a size 10 in England is a size 6 in North America?

And customs fees?From the United States, there is no additional fees, but some private messaging added it all the same.Canada Posts can also add handling costs, less than $ 10.For other international orders, costs are the responsibility of the border services agency.They are rare for purchases worth less than $ 100.According to my experience, it is also a stroke of dice...

Three sites to discover

Asos: www.asos.Fr

This British site is the eighth wonder of the world.From the most complete, it makes it possible to obtain known marks at a discount (Vero Moda, Mango, French Connection), to discover British brands not offered here (Oasis, River Island, Dahila, Whistles, Urban Code), to buyUsed clothing (in the Market Place section) and salivate in front of the quality at low prices of the house brand ASOS.The delivery?Free, even for a pair of stockings.And videos allow you to see models scrolling with clothes.

Madewell/J.Crew: www.madewell.com or www.jcrew.com

La bonne nouvelle: pour les commandes de plus de 100$, les Frais d'envoi sont souvent offerts chez Madewell.And at J.Crew, on promet duty Free pour 10$.
