on line purchase reviews

always trying

Do you read the reviews before purchasing items on like? Do they influence your pruchases? I just ordered the #1 top from my other post, and it has 6 reviews. One said sizewise it runs small, another said it was huge. Mostly I ignore the reviews unless it only has like 2 stars or something.

Do you review the items you keep, or return? I am in the habit of reviewing shoes, but have not reviewed much else.

I almost always am influenced by reviews. Sometimes even if it's negative, it may be meaningful. I want to hear specifics about fit and how it may fit me. If it's conflicting, then I resort to my usual size.

For the two tops you were looking at, I would have prob ordered both, plus anything else I was considering to get the free shipping, and returned what didn't work. If I can return in store, as you can at Macy's, since I have one close to me, I treat online ordering as an at home dressing room.

As to reviews, I am hit or miss. Sometimes when items turn over quickly, I don't review since it will be sold out. Or if there are a ton, I generally skip too. If it's especially good or bad, or the info will be especially helpful is when I review.

I sometimes go out of my way to find as many reviews as possible, even on other sites. Size, fit, quality, success or failure with washing, etc. all matter to me. I also try to do reviews of items I order, especially as to fit and brand sizing, and true color.

Yes, I do read reviews for comments on quality and size, and I do look first at the one and two star reviews.

I've only commented once on a purchase, only because I'm usually kinda lazy!

I do most of my shopping online since it's more convenient with three small children. Reviews are very important in my decision making. I rarely leave reviews, though. I appreciate reviews when someone leaves details about their physical attributes because that can be really helpful.

I definitely pay attention to reviews. I had put off buying the BR resin kick crops based on their description as "mid-rise". I have a long torso and prefer a slightly higher rise, so when a few reviews complained about the rise being too high I pulled the trigger. I'll even search for reviews on other websites if there are none available since I do most of my shopping online.

I love a little online shopping trip and because returning items from one hemisphere to the other would be a bit of a hassle (!) I do read reviews re size as well as watching comments here.The range is so wonderful,it's great to get something a little different and I love it when my parcel arrives!
