How to Shop Inexpensive Sites

Have you ever purchased clothing from an inexpensive online clothing company, and it ends up not fitting or looks completely different from the photo? Let me show you how to shop them!

After many trials and errors, I began to find the trick on how to shop them and the legit sites. Here's tips and tricks so you won't be disappointed the next time you open your package.

Tip 1:

Talk around, ask your peers if they've ever bought from there before. Ask how the fit was, if they run small or large, if the material is thin and how the quality is.

Tip 2:

Look to see if other online shops have the same exact picture of the product. If so that'll be a major RED FLAG. This more than likely means it'll look cheap and nothing like the photo.

Tip 3:

This is the most important tip and trick. Always look at the reviews before you purchase an item. If you love the product, but there are no reviews on it, save it and come back later when there could be a review. Reviews are the best for everything; you can see pictures, people will write if it runs small or large, if it's see-through, looks cheap, or (hopefully) if it was an amazing purchase!


Here are my favorite inexpensive online shops:

  1. Shein: based out of China, the most inexpensive with the best quality items. Easy to return. Items will be shipped 1-2 of purchasing, only can return for store credit.

  2. Boohoo: based out of the UK, still inexpensive clothing, however, there are more expensive than Shein. Amazing quality.

  3. Amazon: based out of the US, online host for companies from all around the world. Read the reviews! IF Amazon Prime, fast shipping.

  4. Cupshe: based out of China, mostly swimwear, only return for store credit.

  5. Romwe: based out of China, similar items that Shein has, but not as reliable and not as fast shipping, only return for store credit.

Here are a few items that I have purchased from Shein and Boohoo that I love.

I have attached the link to each photo. Remember if the item doesn't work, you need to ship it back. Just because it's $12 doesn't mean you should just throw it out. Return it for credit from the site or a full refund.
