ASOS.com Now Accept Laser!

Pythia

Hey All,

Thought some of you might find this useful. ASOS.com now accept Laser cards so you don't need a credit card to order anymore. Yeay!

tomissex

Oh dear god no! Bad enough that they remember the credit card details, now there'll be direct access to my own funds...uh oh!

Delivery to Ireland is now only €2.99?? Oh I'm going to be broke within the hour...

Novella

Madame Razz

Ooooooh dear....

Pigwidgeon

This will have me broke.

Pythia

They also have something on the site about how you can now send returns to an Irish address but can't find any more info on it. Obviously they're very keen to go after the Irish market!

phasers

Aw crap, now I have to buy those shoes I was eyeing up :pac:

islander35

ronaldoshaky

ohthebaby

Uh oh... This won't be good.

fonpokno

Oh god this is the greatest news but is absolutely terrible. I'm going to have to exercise actual self control now!

Lia_lia

Oh noes.

Creamy Goodness

i've never bought anything off asos. i think i'm put off by the fact they just have too much and i can't choose what to buy.

but this is good/bad news depending what way you look at it :pac:

becah

Guys if anyone has any further information on the local Irish returns thingy, will they please post it?
I cant find any further information about it on the site, would be very handy of it made returns easier! Thanks!

Asphyxia

Yesss!! I have been hoping more online stores would start taking laser, It's alot cheaper than sticking it on my 3v as you have to pay the extra €2.50 charge. This is great

rannerap

seen this last week and thought uh oh im gonna be so broke,shipping is only €3 now?!

tatabubbly

Oh no!!! My poor laser card

Seren_

I've been leaving off buying stuff on ASOS until I got off my ass and got a 3v voucher, but I think it'll be my poor laser card taking a beating now lol!

Lil' Smiler

sweet!!

scroll down here and it has the 2.99 rate for ireland http://www.asos.com/infopages/pgeshiptocountry.aspx

I am tempted - I always think the stuff on ASOS looks fab, BUT I was very disappointed when I ordered two items from them. One of them, a (expensive enough!) silk blouse, lost a button as soon as I took it out of the packaging :eek: The skirt I ordered alongside it was supposed to be a 12 but was more like an 8. ..and the material was really cheap.

Am I the only one who has had a bad experience with ASOS? Maybe I should give it another go...

Stench Blossoms

This is bad news for my bank account.

I'm off buying clothes for lent so haven't even looked at asos in over a week.

Toto Wolfcastle

I filled out a survey about ASOS recently that was clearly aimed at making changes to the way Irish people shopped on the site. I'm sure some of you probably filled it out too. I'd imagine they took a lot of the feedback on board and that this is the result. Fair play to them.

My poor laser card feels violated....

There is one other one website I know with Laser and that is Rowlands Clothing from the UK. They take Laser ... and you pay at the Sterling price, thereby saving you Euros. Their website address is http://www.rowlandsclothing.co.uk/

Star_Me_Kitten

how long does delivery take?

tomissex

Usually 5-7 days, they can be impressively fast at times but annoyingly slow at others.

earcandi

Goodbye bank balance... Hello fabulous clothes! Clever asos.

their normal delivery yes, their express delivery is courier. i tried it recently and had a bad experience, they couldnt find the place and didnt bother trying to ring me just sent it back to the depo. i had to email asos a few times before i got anything out of the courier people and in the end it arrived on the latest day it wouldve arrived with normal delivery (plus a whole lot of emailing hassle).

to be fair to them i requested that they refund me my delivery charge and they did. but it really put me off and im a regular asos customer (wearing an asos dress at the moment in fact! )

LauraOrlagh

I just bought a fab black dress the other day n got it today, I LOVE it! it was asos own brand and only £38.. which was bout €45.. it was sooo worth it

*Angel*

Thought this might be a good place to ask about their sizes! I've never ordered before so just wondering do they size to flatter or are they decent sizes? I'm a size 8 lipsy so would that be a good guide for asos sizing?

Cunning Stunt

Someone posted a 20% discount code over on margain alerts
FASHIONASOS
Dunno if it is still valid, but worth a try...

Beauty Addict

wooooooooooooo finally

I use ASOS all the time- probably too much and I find it really good.
The items are of the same quality as the high street stores really, just remember if the material looks cheap then it is!just need to take a look at it first. I have bought stuff almost every week on it since I found out about it early last year. I don't really buy shoes online, as I get most of them in the states but I did buy a pair this month and they are FAB!!but my friend bought some last year and she said they were like plastic shoes Barbie would wear LOL!
Their returns policy is really good, but like another POST on here I cannot see where the details are for local delivery in Ireland.With the LASER thing they did post about it on their website, and then followed up with an email a few days later!so this may happen for this also!
With the Ireland survey they did earlier this year they have done really well in implementing some better deals for the Irish shopper- bad for me

Has anyone paid in GBP with their Laser card?

Ciarrai76

I'm delighted they reduced their delivery prices. I actually emailed to complain about it in Jan as I had to return something to them and it was costing me so much between paying their delivery charge, paying so much to send back to the UK and the fact that they didn't refund the intial delivery charge. They did reply to say thanks for my input and that they were looking at ways to change these issues, so thankfully they have.

I also can't find anymore info on local returns though. I ordered stuff last night, but now I don't really want the coat I ordered, so I'm wondering if they will have info in the delivery on how to send back locally.

I tried the other day but it told me I could only pay in Euros with my Laser Oh well, i still bought lots of stuff :P

Toto Wolfcastle

I contacted them to ask about the local returns and I got an email with a link to their returns page. I can't find any information on the page though so I've emailed them again about it.

Ciarrai76

I also emailed them, got an automated response and haven't heard a thing back all day. So much for their response within 1 working hour!

Toto Wolfcastle

In fairness, they got back to me both times very quickly.

Basically the returns slip has an Irish address on it. An Athlone address. So that's how it works.

Also Asos' prices are displayed in both Sterling and EURO; you will pay the EURO price, which is set at a £/€ exchange rate at approx. £1:€1.30.

The Lovely Muffin

Hope it's ok to ask this here.

But what is ASOS jacket/coat sizing like?

I am a size 10 in high street shops (new look, dorothy perkins, etc) however I have a problem of long arms.

For coats/jackets, I usually get a size 12 and have the waist taken in.

I've read some posts about ASOS being generous with their sizes and other saying they are small/normal size fitting, but that was about tops/dress, not coats/jackets.

Thanks.
