[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I went shopping yesterday for clothes and tried on two pairs of pants, same size, same brand. For some reason the blue pair of pants fit perfectly but the light colored ones were a bit snug and too long. Needless to say, I did not get those light colored pants. If I had ordered them online instead I would have shipped them right back.[/quote] That’s what online shopping is about. The cost of returning stuff is built into the price.[/quote] [b]I prefer to shop in the stores - lots more variety to choose from. [/b]Given how crowded the stores were yesterday (middle of the day on a Wednesday) I think that there are many who feel the same way as me. Got some great deals, too.[/quote] What? No, that’s demostrably false. How can a few local stores offer more variety than the entire Internet? Answer: they don’t. [/quote] Obviously I can try a lot more different clothes on in the store than I could reasonably order off the internet. I might try on 20 tops at the store but maybe limit myself to only 3 or 4 tops that I think *might* work for me off the internet. Plus, at the store I don't have to worry about mailing back the items that don't work for me, I just pop them on the return rack. Done.[/quote] You don't work, do you? Or buy for kids? [/quote] Just to jump in in defense of PP: I'm a hard to fit size. (Just five feet tall.) Overall, of COURSE there is more to choose from on the internet. But I really do not know which of these things is going to fit - and it truly is a PIA to order a bunch of things, wait two weeks for it to be delivered, mail it back, wait to get a refund. I do it because shopping in person is also a pain - but if I have the choice between ordering clothes online or going to the outlets, I pick the outlets because I can try on 30 pairs of pants and hopefully two will fit instead of ordering 3 pairs online and just hoping any of them work. I would assume PP is in a similar situation - not someone who can just order things online and assume most will fit pretty well.[/quote]
