Real experience with buying products online

A simple and honest answer like 鈥渨e do not have that option鈥?is better than marketing fluff. I like when they mention whether the fabric has stretch or not, that detail matters a lot. Very thin fabric may be fine for summer but often looks cheap and becomes see through. Nobody wants pretty shoes that hurt after ten minutes of walking. Good packaging and a small storage bag are also nice touches for accessories.  

If anyone is interested in real user experiences, I sometimes write short notes about the shops I test.

I have learned to avoid items that look extremely different in every product photo. In the end there is no perfect shop, but some stores are clearly more consistent. Some pieces look shiny online but feel like plastic when you open the package. Sometimes one good quality item is better than five very cheap ones. Price is important to me, but quality and comfort are even more important in the long run. I prefer simple designs that do not depend only on heavy filters in the pictures.  

Maybe this is useful for someone.
