Clothes and Shoes E-Shopping

Have you ever bought any clothes or shoes online? I would never. I have to try it on. Sometimes I find a nice pair of shoes online, or a nice dress. I locate the nearest store that has that item, go and try it on and buy if I like. I need to see what it really looks like and what it feels like, pictures can be misleading especially when it comes to texture. What's your take on it?

Than again, I have bought furniture for my kids on line and had it shipped from out of state, but clothes - no

I try only to buy clothes and shoes online from stores with excellent return policies (like Zappos, fast and free shipping on returns and exchanges) or from chains that are nearby and allow me to return things I bought offline in the stores (like Nordstrom, Macy's, the Gap, whatever.) But I'm totally willing to take a risk on beautiful pieces that are hard to find in stores, from online boutiques. The only things I won't buy online are pants.

all the time. my sizes are "standard" so it's easy to get things to fit (pants are another story since i am tall)
but i buy everything (even pizza) online.

I actually had a store on ebay for a while that sold plus size women clothes. I would drive down to the fashion distric in LA and buy the clothes real cheap then bring back to Las Vegas and write wonderful sales copy, snap a few pictures, and download the whole thing onto ebay. It worked pretty good.

Most people seem to get a real thrill out of getting packages in the mail or by ups or fed ex. Buyers were for the most part real nice.
