However, there are ways to still get the best items and deals without having to speak to anyone in person. Read on to find out more...

Remember your size might be different

Never really on being the exact same size as you usually are when buying online. This is especially true for online stores that stock lots of different brands of clothes. If you look closely, however, many of these sites will have more in-depth size guides.
One such way to solve this issue once and for all is to do the following! Grab a tape measure and find out your different sizes. Look at bust, hips, waist and leg length especially. Write them all down and stick them up wherever you usually do your online shopping. That way, you’ll have a quick go-to reference for finding your perfect size in future!

Save money wherever you can

​Find unlimited delivery packages

​Why pay full price for an item if you can get it for cheaper? After all, saving money gives you more to spend on other things. Before you make any purchases, do a quick check online to see if there are any current money off deals or discounts. Gopherdeals.co.uk is one such place you can do this. Kind folk also sometimes share great deals on social media accounts, like Twitter. Just search the name of the company you’re buying from, and add the word ‘discount’ or ‘deal’.

Two such companies to offer special bulk deals on deliveries are ASOS and Amazon. At ASOS.com, for £9.95 a year, you can have as many next day deliveries as you can afford. And, if you sign up for www.amazon.co.uk/gp/prime, this also provides you with one year’s worth of unlimited deliveries. These deliveries are sent within one day also.
In these cases, spending to begin with could save you lots of money in the long run. This is especially true if you have a big event coming up that you know you will need lots of different items for. This might be a wedding or a big birthday party. Knowing that you don’t have to pay for delivery for the little things will help you relax.

Look for free returns

​As online shopping grows in popularity, the companies get more competitive. One way they do this is by charging for deliveries, but taking returns for free. Where you can, order from companies who do free returns. This gives you the freedom to buy whatever you like and then try it on at home. Plus, trying on clothes at home is so much better. You’ve got all your shoes and accessories to hand to see how the item really looks. You can also use your own mirror, which you know you can trust!
