Buying clothing was probably the last real hurdle the online merchants had to overcome. But now there are apps that take body measurements or detailed instructions on the web that allow you to determine what size clothing to order.

Also returns are incredibly easy. I order most of my clothing with LL Bean and everything is shipped with pre-printed return labels in case I need to send it back. I've only had to do that a couple times and it was hassle free.

Lord???...should be torn down and burnt to the ground for name only. C’mon mob logic. Up your game.

Online is never quite the same, and the shipping for returns is overrated. Just the fact I have to repackage something stinks.

There are many things I will buy via catalog (that’s all this is), but many I really don’t want to. I want to know if it’s good when I look at it, and not buy it if it’s not.

And you all better start looking at how liberal Amazon is, including their disgusting pandering to BLM. Promotion of books for them and all. We need to start giving other sellers a a chance and not allow amazon to just be this monstrosity Big Corp, which then insults us all by their BLM and LGBTQJDBUTF promotions.

LL Bean is a good online retailer.

[mewzilla]

Good products, too.

Note to LLB: But you guys needs to do way more in ladies tall sizes. And I mean tall tall, not kinda tall. Ex: 32” inseam is only kinda tall. And tall pants need tall tops to go with them.

A lot of these retailers were on the verge of failure even before the Chinus -because of on line and clothing that is poor quality, doesn’t fit the average person or unpopular styles. God knows how Sears is still around

[funfan]

I just read something about them today about supporting BLM and all they stand for..

Sears mostly isn’t still around. They’re down to a tiny fraction of the stores they used to have and they sold their top lines off to other people.

Bimbos will always be bimbos regardless what they cover themselves in. Please do not refer to skanks as “ladies”!

[Cobra64]

I was not referring to them as ladies. Quite the opposite.

We love online shopping. ConservaTeen’s brother (who is 11) is incontinent, so we get his supplies online. A few days ago, Mrs D called them up about a defect, so they sent us 2 packages free. Great service from people online. Food, shoes and jewelry shopping is the only thing we don’t go online for.

In my youff it was a big deal for the women to go shopping at Lord and Taylor. It was an upper crust store.
