Net shopping

I've probably got a list of about five or six websites that I want to buy from in the near future and three that I regularly buy from. I just torture myself looking online because usually when I start looking things up there's no money to spend anyway. Then, when I do get some money ahead, I go nuts ordering stuff. I do usually find really good deals online and I only buy stuff there that it's just impossible for me to get in person.

I buy a ton of things online. Everything from the couch in my living room to my microwave (both from Amazon). I love Amazon, they have everything. I order shoes online, but only if they are a brand/style I already know will fit me. I just ordered clothes from retroscope.com, and hopefully they will fit. I followed their size chart, measured myself, and crossed my fingers. They shipped yesterday, so hopefully I will have them soon, and I will let you know. I wanted to order a few things from cryoflesh, but I am really confused by their sizes. It seems each different article of clothing has a different size, and you just have to measure yourself for everything. For example, one shirt I take a medium, another an extra-large. Odd, but customer service assures me that as long as I go by the inches measurement, I will be fine. Huh. Makes me a little nervous.

I mostly buy \"stuff\" online, not clothing, though. Books, cd's, movies, toys for the kid, etc.

For clothing online, I'll usually get a size larger than what I need. Sometimes it's still not enough. Like the mesh shirt I bought from FucktheMainstream. I bought the extra large and it turned out to be too tight for me. Wow, and I normally wear a medium.

Similar to what I'm like. I'll find it hard to shop for a while..And suddenly I'll find tons of things I want online (whilst I'm low on cash). I end up bookmarking lots of links in a 'shopping' folder. :woohoo: Annoyingly, some of those items I bookmarked went out of stock a few weeks ago. Grr! Just when I had the cash.

I do the same thing, Envy, bookmarking everything that catches my eye and checking up on it regularly. I almost missed my favorite boots that way. Dr. Martens discontinued them, apparently, and I kept going back to the site every day near tears because they went away before I bought them. I even called the distributor here in the U.S. and was in tears with him (the poor guy thought I was crazy!). But I kept checking every day. Amazingly, a few days later, they had ONE pair in stock and it was amazingly in my size. I bought them.

Sometimes, though, things just get out of stock, and are reordered, so keep checking. Or you might find something else you like just as well. Can't hurt to keep looking.

I dare not order anything on the internet because I am afraid of scams
