How to buy clothing online in the USA

When shopping for clothing overseas it can sometimes be difficult to find the stores that carry the styles and brand names that you are looking for. The following will provide information on where to find popular styles, where to find and how to use coupon codes, and shipping information along with approximated shipping costs.

Coupon Codes:

Coupon codes also known as promotional or discount codes are created by the webstore in order to discount your purchase, usually by discounting the actual merchandise or by reducing or eliminating shipping costs. Discount codes can usuallly be found on the website of the store, if they are offering a promotion at the time of purchase. Customers will sometimes post these codes on on-line discussion boards as well. Promotional codes are usually only limited time offers that will not be usefull after so much time has passed.

Below are a few examples taken off of clothing websites:

As you can see in the second and third coupons pictured, the fine print specifies that they can only be used on U.S. orders. In this case it would be best to set up an assisted purchase so that the coupon code can be applied. Coupon codes are usually only valid for a specific amount of time and will expire once that time is up.

Shipping:

Large Orders/Multiple Items:
If you place a large order or even if it is more than one item, the company may not send it all in one package. Fore example, if you purchase three t-shirts they may send each t-shirt in its own box/package; if this happens be prepared to see multiple incoming packages even if it is only from one order or one assisted purchase. When this happens, it is best to merge all of the incoming packages into one larger package, there is a one time fee of $8.50 for this and will help you save a considerable amount of money on shipping costs.

Expedited Shipping from Merchant:
When placing an order on an online store the merchant will usually give you a few different options as to how you would like your tiems shipped with the slowest method of shipping usually being the cheapest. If placing an assisted order through shipito.com you may choose to expedite the shipping time from the online store to our warehouse by noting it as a special instruction when filling out the assisted purchase form. While choosing a faster from of shipping will expedite your shipping, a common misconception is that it will take exactly that amount of time ffrom when the purchase is made until it arrives at our warehouse, this is not always true. For example: if you choose 2-day shipping it does not mean that we will receive your items two days after the order is placed. Once the order has been processed and packaged by the store we will receive it in two days from the time it was shipped. Also know that some shipping methods do not include weekends or holidays.

Backordered Items:
Once an order is placed you may receive an email telling you that one or more of your items is on backorder. This means that the seller is temporarily out of stock of that item. The merchant will usually give you an approximate timeline as to when that item will be ready to be shipped out.

Shipping Costs:
When placing an online order or an assisted purchase you can get approximate shipping costs by going through the checkout process of that store and entering our warehouse location as the shipping address. The address is as follows: 2972 Columbia Street # (your mailbox number), Torrance, California 90503
