Buying Clothes and Accessories on-line: recommendations

Bmurph99 · 04-09-2008 1:14pm

I saw people asking questions about buying dresses on-line and i just had to pass on this website. I found heard of it through my sister who was going to buy a dress for a friends wedding in a boutique for €500 or €600 but she found the dress on-line for $180 + delivery and customs (that only added €50/€60 to the price). So she got the dress on www.shoptherunway.com and saved about €200 - €250 its unbelieveable and it took less than a week to deliver.
They have those Rubber Ducky designer dresses which are pretty cool and what is even cooler they are 50% cheaper.
Really cool happy shopping!

Any Suggestions on where to get a 3-piece Suit online?

idunnoutellme · 30-09-2008 1:30pm

is there anyone here who's shopped with them before who can tell me should I wait for a statement from them to pay or just pay through billpay...i'm bit afraid i'll get hit by their interest rate and i emailed their support but noone replied...customer service eh

I think you have to wait til they send out the statement. It tells you how long you have to pay it. It's awhile since I ordered off them though.

The first website i couldnt get in to and the second website only delivers to USA and Canada = pity because their stuff is really cheap.

i don't know how popular asian fashion is in Ireland, but these stores carry some of the most unique clothing items i've seen around:

www.zipia.net (korean urban style clothing)
www.susiekim.kr (like zipia, but cheaper!)
www.sophistix.net (singapore store, cute vests & dresses)
www.asiajam.com (malaysian store, a bit retro-style)

i've ordered from susiekim and sophistix directly and they are both great (in terms of service and quality)! the other two my friends have tried but i've yet to give them a try myself !

Hi - are the sies on these websites like an irish size 12?? Great websites!!

Can anyone recommend a good online shop for buying chunky knit jumpers for stylish women at reasonable prices?

A tall order maybe:pac:

sunnyholly · 25-10-2008 10:13pm

Just thought Id share the website with you...... i saw it in image magazine.... its called www.mycousininamerica.com
They organise delivery to ireland for you from US websites if they dont deliver to ireland

Agent Smith · 26-10-2008 1:05am

that site seems pretty Interesting.

Has anyone tried it before?

Ok so a while later I am shocked at the lack of nice jumpers around this year! Is there anywhere that anyone knows of online selling jumpers that is not ebay?

On topic, I can't recommend ebay more for low-price Fantasie bras. They are much cheaper there than in Ireland, sometimes up to half price!

idunnoutellme · 06-11-2008 10:00am

asos.com has loads of jumpers.
I recently bought 2 pairs of wolford tights on ebay - cant wait for them to arrive. got 2 pairs for just under the price of one pair if i was to get them in the shops. go ebay

taibhse · 18-11-2008 2:40am

Madame Razz · 19-11-2008 10:11am

I just bought a pair of cardy Uggs on here:

www.uggii.com

They seem to have a very good selection and the prices are reasonable.

They charge in dollars and postage to Eire is $25, delivery in 5 working days.

Whether they are genuine are not is another story, they did look like the real deal tho.....I hope they are...

I will keep you all posted when they arrive!!!

I'm almost 100% certain. Firstly, they are far too cheap, secondly that website is Chinese which screams dodgy, thirdly you can only pay by Paypal or Western Union, fourthly, the English is pretty bad on that site. Finally, it looks like a load of other fake Ugg websites that have popped up lately. Sorry.

Serves me right for taking a mad notion this am.

Is there anyway to cancel a payment would you happen to know??

You can ask your credit card company to do a charge back or open some kind of paypal dispute. I'm not sure.

dulchie75 · 22-11-2008 6:27pm

Not sure if anyone has mentioned www.dorothyperkins.com

Bril site and with the exchange rate you pay alot less then in the shops here. I recently got a 2 dresses, shoes, 2 handbags and a jumper for €145 would have cost me over €200 in their stores here.
This included a 20% discount and now they are offering free delivery until the end of Nov.

viv2 · 24-11-2008 11:06am

If anybody uses revolveclothing there is a code for 25% off which includes sale stock but there are a few brands that are restricted.
The code is NOTCOTLOVESREVOLVE just enter it before you pay.

Hairy Baby is crap. They take ages to deliver stuff and don't respond to emails.

Heading to Lanzarote for Christmas next week, and just got home from Uni yesterday to discover that I left my Sunglasses back in Belfast. Forgot they existed given the sh!teness of the weather lately :mad:

Looking for somewhere to order a nice pair that would deliver before tuesday next week. Its not too important, I can always get them in a store somewhere, but I have 100 euro (give or take a few quid) left on a 3V card Id like to use.

Any recommendations?

Cheers,

Arc

joanbrent · 23-12-2008 1:48pm

I love to shop at iStorez for one reason where you can find deals, promotions from a variety of online retailers.

Larianne · 26-12-2008 5:22pm

Where's good for vintage clothes and accessories? Something similar to Etsy.com where you're not charged heaps for the clothes.

mary1950 · 27-12-2008 6:19pm

Anyone know a better website for Mac make up???

quote=simu;3398517]My personal favourites:

Strawberrynet - Good for make-up although it was a bit slow delivering.

Tightsplease - Good for unusual tights.

La Redoute - French mail order company. They have some nice, cheap stuff. The original French site is here and personally, I think the lay out is far better and the prices are also in euro. The only thing is that you must understand French to use it!

Thinkgeek - Handy for geeky t-shirts although I find the postage is quite pricey.

Palmercash - I've ordered some cool t-shirts from here in my time!

Lush online - Handy if you find the smell in the stores too over-powering. They were a bit slow delivering too, though.

Hmm. That's all that I can think of for now![/quote]

any good online retailers for men clothes ?

ireland or uk one

Bridgey87 · 28-12-2008 5:50pm

Ebay is always a good one to start with,great bargains to be had there in all manner of things.
www.ebay.ie
www.ebay.co.uk
www.ebay.com

Etsy is fabulous for handmade things,unique jewellery/clothes/household items,you name it they probably have it. Its similar to Ebay only theres no auctions,you buy stuff straight away. Its an american site so all prices are in dollars but some stuff works out cheaper than buying in Ireland or the UK. Prices in Dollars and people take Paypal.
www.etsy.com

Asos is brilliant for buying clothes shoes and jewellery.They do a lot of up-to-the-minute trendy stuff and celebrity looks (anyone with daughters take note) but they also have normal everyday stuff.Its a good way of getting high street clothes at a lower price and you don't have to leave the house! Prices are in Sterling and they take both credit and debit card.
www.asos.com

Goddiva is similar to Asos, again lots of celebrity style and fashionable stuff,great range of evening, party and day dresses. Prices in Sterling and they take credit and debit cards.
www.goddiva.co.uk

Lipsy again similar to the above two sites,very good for party-wear. Prices in Sterling and they take credit and debit cards.
www.lipsy.co.uk

Amazon is great for stuff,again lots of different stuff to had here,including clothes and jewellery.They often have great sales on DVD's as well. They take credit and debit cards.
www.amazon.co.uk
www.amazon.com

Those are place I regularly shop at and never have any problems.

www.awear.com (In Euro)

www.topshop.com

any online sale for G-star stuff ?

Larianne · 31-12-2008 12:47pm

Does River Island deliver to Ireland? I'm guessing no..

Toto Wolfcastle · 31-12-2008 2:15pm

They don't. Pity, because the shoes were really cheap in the online sale.

www.asos.com is brilliant for clothes, shoes, bags, make up, accessorries etc. Reasonable prices, very quick delivery. I have no complaints and love their stuff. They have their own brand clothes and stock hundreds of brand names including designer.

Asos has massive sales on at the moment too. Check it out.

Asos actually have a option near the top of the page to change the currancy into euro!

i signed up to amazon today

most of the sellers dont post to ireland?

Dirk_Diggler · 31-12-2008 9:53pm

I'm looking for an online retailer that will deliver to Ireland. The clothes I'm looking for are round neck plain tshirts, good quality (willing to pay whatever). I can never find these in shops in Dublin as there's always some logo on them even if it is faint. I've found Remus tops before with no logo so I'm hoping to have some luck online.

Well I've just discovered it's cheaper to buy Murad skincare at HQHair rather than the Murad.ie Crazy!

lol ... i haven't logged on to here in ages ... ha ha ... anyway if you are still interested www.susiekim.kr -- some of the items in their site go up to XXL which is roughly a UK 12 (in tops). they're bottoms a bit small. the 1X and 2X on www.sophistix.net fit UK 12 and the bottoms in 12 or 14 fit UK 12. hope that helps!

p.s. the other two sites (www.asiajam.com and www.zipia.net) only carry size M (UK 6 - 8) ... or they did a few months ago I haven't really logged on lately to shop at their stores!
