So I have recently developed a love of online shopping. I used to be REALLY against it because well who'd wanna pay like a fiver and wait a week when you can use that fiver to hop on a bus and get the stuff straight away. But as time has gone on, shipping has improved and Online Exclusives have been born I have found myself clicking onto a certain site in particular.
http://www.newlook.com/
Now I am OBVIOUSLY in no way being made to do this by the company... I don't have enough page views or followers for that but I thought I would ya know inform the people that do click on here of my experiences of purchasing from this website.
All in all I have purchased from this website around 4 or 5 times and every time I have been pleased with the products and service I have received.
I find that the selection process and checkout is simple to understand and the websites layout is pleasant. With it being mostly black and white on the background the product pictures are enhanced so you can see them well and there is also more than one angle available for the product.
There's no hidden charges, the postage is put straight onto the order in your basket so you know how much you've spent before you decide on whether you want to commit to purchasing or not.
I've used both next day and standard delivery although I haven't had to pay for either as they have it where if you spend over 45 pounds you get free standard delivery. Every now and again they offer the next day for free when you spend around 75 but you have to check for the offer first.
The products were delivered quickly even on standard delivery the longest I had to wait was 2 working days. They send an email when your order has been dispatched and I found that generally the parcel arrived either that day or the day after depending on when in the week you ordered. The delivery company were always pleasant when I opened the door and the bags were never damaged (but this could be different for different regions)
Unfortunately I can't comment on the returns service as I haven't needed to return an item but I do know that it can be taken into a store with the paperwork you receive in the delivery and it can be refunded or if available in store exchanged there.

Primark
This is more a general review of the shop and of the overall products rather than singular items.
I have a love hate relationship with Primark. I love how cheap it is and I even love a lot of the gear in there but I HATE how people judge you for buying from there. I mean what's it matter to you whether I want to save money and buy more items rather than going and buying a single designer item.
Over the past few years I have noticed a steady increase in the quality of Primark clothing. The fabrics used are getting softer and so much better to wear. Admittedly the seams in some of my t-shirts still get out of line after quite a bit of washing but for like 4 pounds you can't expect the world. The skater dresses I have fit perfectly to my waist but with being rather short legged I find they hit my knees wrong but that's more a case of my genetics rather than the product.
I'm being reminded of the saying "You get what you pay for." but to me a lot of the products are better than what you pay for. The low pricing means I don't have to worry about my cats shoving a claw through it and causing a hole or if I'm searching for a good picture opportunity and I end up falling into a hedge ruining it. I can just go out and replace it the next day. The items I haven't ripped holes into have managed to last me absolutely years, I have some shirts that are still together after 3 years of use if not even longer.
They've also spread their sizing out, when I first started shopping there it used to only be size 8 to 18 and now there is size 6 and size 20 on offer which may not sound like a lot but it will have brought quite a lot of customers in for them by making those 2 extra sizes but they need to think about the bigger boobed girl as I have seen plenty for singular cup sizes such as e's and f's even though they're rather small on the cup fitting for me. When I was last measured I came out as a DD and I can't get an F cup to fit without them bulging out the top so either I suddenly like quadruple in size as I walk through the doors or the bras are shit fitting. I haven't decided and science hasn't proven the boob growth phenomenon yet.
One thing I DO NOT buy from there though is leggings, they're miles too thin of a fabric. I've seen so many people wearing them and the amount of knickers I have seen would damage the eyes of an ann summers girl let alone a regular person. Please please please IF you do purchase them from there, make sure you wear something that covers your arse.
Anyway you might not agree with shopping there but not every person can afford to pay 20 pounds for a jumper or 40 pounds for a dress and 100 for a pair of shoes so we have to shop where we can.
