Any Aussies here brought stuff from Old Navy?

mumtojessandluke

G'day,
Well Spring is approaching with vigor. I'm so ready to get into stuff that is a little bit more breezy. I'm really looking into getting a few cami's / tanks for spring that will go into summer and looking at some nice finds on the old Navy site.... not to mention I'd love a pair of shorts that aren't maternity! LOL... any way I digress.

My question is for those that have used the old navy site from Australia. How long did it take? Was postage excessive? Would you do it again? How would you handle returns?

This is one of the tops I was looking at. Nice hey!

Oh and this one would be nice too;

Maybe someone has seen something similar closer to home?

Thanking you all in advance.

Postage is super expensive ($60 when it's only one item...although it does go DOWN the more you buy). I've had trouble with Fifty One (that's the company that process international orders for a number of stores including ON) cancelling my order before

To be honest, I'd probably still use my shipping company in the US- getting 4 dresses and a top sent out is only $35 ish. I'd wait for a free shipping code from ON too.

I especially like the tiered top!

Just wanted to echo the fact that FiftyOne can be problematic. I don't live in Australia, but they've managed to make life complicated for Canadian deliveries (inexcusable, imo, since it's just a simple cross-border transaction).
If you're primarily looking for basics, I would strongly suggest that you look closer to home. Old Navy is also a bit hit and miss in terms of quality, so I suspect you'd really have to love the look of something and be unable to replicate it at home in order to justify the shipping costs.

I for one wouldn't pay to have Old Navy merchandise shipped overseas as Michelle pointed out their quality is very hit and miss.

Thanks Girls
I just really liked the look of the clothing, but thought that it was a really good quality brand. I'll look closer to home. $60 postage for one item is excessive. And if the postage service doesn't match the cost... well that would be down right disappointing.
Thanks again.
Oh and YFI- Camera is back from repairs!!! YAY I'm rapped! Can't wait to share a few pics with this little on line community.
Cheers

oh my word... $60 to ship one item? no, no, no, ON is definitely not worth it. I think most of ON stuff is "disposable style" meaning it gets you through one season and then it's done.
