Ordering online from missselfridge.com could be a disaster...
I guess my turn to write a review about Miss Selfridge...
In spite of many negative reviews about this online shop, I decided to give it a try and placed my order on their website just few days ago, on Monday.
I just couldn't help it, their clothing is so sweet and feminine and so cheap. Right now there is a big sale, up to 70%, so yeah, it's quite catchy if you have a weak will on buying stuffs online ...
To my surprise, it took them only 2 days from the day of order to deliver it to me (I live in Luxembourg) and they used DPD delivery, which is like the best delivery i've ever had a deal with. It's better than DHL. Always on time, never experienced any delays, they notify you about the exact time of delivery. Yeah, maybe I have to write a separate review about DPD delivery XD
So... about the order itself, that was a partially disappointment. Why...
I ordered multiple things, since it was so incredibly cheap, just to try the sizes and fabrics. among the stuffs there were supposed to be a pair of pants, instead of which I received a pair of sandals... I looked up on the website, how much does it cost, and the price was exactly the same as for the pants. This is hardly a coincidence. I personally think, they didn't have my pants in stock, so they decided that going back to the order, to notify me and cancel the item and pay it back, would be much of a pain in the a**, so they just replaced it silently with the item of the same price. Which is a quite disgusting behaviour for the online shop service. So, only knowing that they can do such a thing already STOPS me from buying from their website. Next disappointment was with the way one very beautiful blouse was tailored... (that tells me about how cheap the production of the their clothing must be) I personally have no clue how did the model on the picture put that blouse on, because there was absolutely no way for me to do it. I wasn't just stock in it because of the bad sizing, it was theoretically not possible to put it on. Because... they forgot to put a zip at the back of it, so you had to be in diameter (you and your shoulders including) around 45 cm to be able to get yourself in. the fabrics is not stretchy to allow you to do this without any zip, there are no buttons, nth that would let you in. I coulnd't believe it. This was european size 34, US 2, UK 6. My usual size. I'm not going to return it, just because the whole return proccess is a real pain - i paid for the blouse 21 euros, and i would have to pay for the return shipping around 5-10 euros, and according to the reviews, it isn't a matter of fact, i will receive any refund for it. So I just cut that blouse at the back where it's logically supposed to be a zip, and I'm going to sew it in myself, it's not that difficult, I love the blouse itself.. But this... This is really weird. It's like i ordered from some cheap chinese online shop, where they have dwarfs as fitting models.
As for the rest, i can say, everything fits me (few other pants were 34 size too, BTW) i love their clothing, it's really sweet, beautiful, feminine, but if it isn't on sale with the huge discount, i personally think it doesn't worth it. I mean, the fabrics is cheap. The way it's made - not perfect - i had to redo the buttons myself, for example. So, if it doesn't cost a third part of the initial price, i woudn't recommend to buy it.
I was ordering multiple times from Topshop online, which is, as I understand, their branch? and I never ever had a problem with my orders. Nothing like this. And the clothing is a better quality. Their service is better.
If i buy some other times their stuffs, it's gonna be from another website that carries their brand, like Zalando, or if it's from their website than only pants, the tops I have to try at first.
So... to buy or not to buy from their website is totally up to you. If you are mentally ready to lose a bit of your money, then you could order online, because overall, the clothing is sweet and that will give you some possible joy from wearing it afterall.
Forgot to mention it, their website is quite a weird thing. Few of the links are not working, if you are clicking on Feedback, the link shows up as non-existing... Too bad, the managers don't read the reviews, otherwise, they would be some positive changes since the first negative reviews.
