There are many challenges that come with buying used clothes online. For example, it may not be possible to fit the clothes to see how they would look on you, or even feel the fabric. However, apart from the various advantages that come along with shopping online such as convenience and unlimited selection, there are some tips and tricks that you can use to your advantage throughout the entire process.
1. Know the size of clothes that will fit you
Do proper online research to make sure that you get the clothes that will fit your body perfectly. This is simple, by the use of a tape measure scribble down your waist, chest/bust, hips, and arm's length and so on. Moreover, you can just take out clothes in your closet that fits you perfectly and use them as a reference. Make sure you know about conversion to be able to get the right size easily.
2. Know that used clothes might have colour variations
Although many monitors are advanced and thus have the ability to display millions of colours, the actual item may vary a little bit with the displayed image when it comes to the appearance. This may be due to the camera resolution of the taker or that of your screen. You should be prepared for some slight change in colour, but not too much to the extent of not being able to recognize the clothes.
3. Be familiar with the used clothes shipping charges
Whenever shopping for used clothes online, it is essential to understand the shipping charges that you are going to incur. To save more, you may decide to shop for several items at once, to do away with having to pay charges per item. Or better still, you can look for retailers that offer free shipping for the clothes you want.
4. Research the return policy for used clothes
Most of the popular online stores allow you to return some clothes that you may deem unfit within a designated period. However, this you can only know if you read their policy that concern return and exchange. Make sure to read their terms and conditions to understand if their policy has a satisfaction guarantee.
5. Research the retailer's site reputation
Before you embark on shopping online, make sure to read the customer's remarks regarding the site. Are the satisfied with what they received and the time they took to be delivered? Were they in good condition? Did they even arrive? This will guide you on whether to rely on the site or to go on to another site.
Be careful because shopping for used clothes online is not as is the case with shopping for new ones, so follow the above tips strictly to avoid any embarrassment.

Even though I don't think the return policy is applicable to us but the rest of the tips make sense. Always check for information of the clothes when you're browsing through because usually the seller will state the defect of the clothes so that you don't get an unpleasant surprise. When you're shopping for USED clothes you shouldn't be expecting too much because afterall, it's USED and it may not always be as good as brand new, you got to expect some defects. That's why used clothes are not for fussy buyers (like my mum omg). There are a lot of people selling used clothes that are as good as brand new but isn't it better to just lower your expectations?
Cheers to online shopping yay.
