Shopping for shoes is the biggest challenge I face. When I find a pair I like it turns out to be too pricey. If I find one with in my budget, I can’t find my size. If the size and price is good the sales girl tells me that they “just” sold the last piece in the color I needed it, and the shoe shopping dilemma continues…
When I started shopping online, I thought I can buy anything online but shoes. How can I buy a pair without trying it? It has to fit well for me to buy it! This summer, before heading out for our family vacation, unable to find a reasonable pair of shoes in the local stores, I decided to do some research on buying shoes online.
When I buy online, I prefer going on one of my favorite discount websites, where I can compare different brands under one roof. This time I chose to visit www.bestcouponcollection.com, as they have some of my favorite shoe stores like Naturalizer, Heels.com, Crocs, and departmental stores like Sears, Kohl’s and Target all under one roof.
I was glad to notice that most of these stores had better bargain online than in the actual store. Naturalizer was offering a vast variety of shoes on clearance in all sizes and colors. I like to wear Crocs for gardening and was happy to see their promotion. A coupon code by heels.com $25 off 100 caught my eyes; they are also offering free shipping. What really got me drooling was the Born Collection on Eddie Bauer’s clearance! I have to admit that they have limited variety, but the prices they are offering are irresistible, top that with Born comfort and I won’t say more you have to check their unbeatable deal out to believe it!
Since I am a picky with shoes, more than finding the shoes online, my research was focused on how to return the shoes if I don’t like them. Going from store to store, online of course, I figured out that the each store has its own return policy. If I try to grade it on a scale of 1-10 with one being the hardest and ten being the easiest to return, I would say most of the stores return policies are between 7-10. Let me explain that, stores like Naturalizer, Kohl’s, Target and Sears that let you choose to take the shoes back to their qualifying stores or ship it back to them got a 10 on my scale. Other stores like heels.com and Crocs where you have to mail the shoes back got a 7. Overall I found the return policy of most of the stores pretty much hassle free. They do expect you to return an unused item only, which makes total sense to me. I always make sure that the product I am planning to buy is returnable before you check out. Most of the stores state their return policy before checkout; make sure you read that even if you are not planning on returning the shoes.
Once satisfied with the return policy of the shoes I liked, I ended up ordering two pair of shoes from different stores. I got the delivery on time tried them, liked them, and headed to my vacation with a smile. I enjoyed my shoe shopping online and I hope you do too!
Hello ZeeBee,
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing your experience on online shoe shopping. As a big fan of shoes, I decided to check out the online bargains you have mentioned in your blog. As visiting, my excitement soared.
A couple of weeks back while hanging out in mall, I came across these really trendy pair of shoes, shoes that perfectly fits all your requirements. However, as they were beyond my budget, buying them remained a wish. Through you, I found these two-tone ballerina peep toe flat that will work with formals, as well as, casuals. They are just what I had in mind and the best part is I got a 40% discount while I used the site you mentioned in your blog. Thank you once again as you made my day!
