My short review of an online shop
Forums, blogs and communities create a kind of collective memory for shoppers. It is always difficult to know which website is really trustworthy before you place an order. Reading comments with real body photos is one of the best ways to check sizing. Many times I avoided a bad purchase just by reading a few careful comments. Clear product descriptions save time and reduce the chance of disappointment.
If anyone is interested in real user experiences, I sometimes write short notes about the shops I test.

For things that I use every day, I prefer to pay a bit more if the quality is stable. For example, I compared cotton, polyester and mixed fabrics for similar clothing items. Forums, blogs and communities create a kind of collective memory for shoppers. Of course shipping delays can happen, but good communication reduces stress. Recently I have been testing several online eyewear shops to compare frames and lenses. Jewelry is another category where quality can be very different from photos. It saves a lot of trial and error for everyone else. If they reply politely and give detailed answers, I feel more relaxed.
Hope this helps someone.
