How Often Do You Find Yourself Regretting An Order Soon After?

Do you often decide to order an item then a few minutes later find a better deal or all together?

 

It happens to me a lot.  Most recently, I loved some Earth Origins slip on sandals and found a much better choice for me on Amazon!

 

If I need an item to round out my outfit I may find it here.  I LOVED the Joan Rivers Eyelet Shirt!  I would have ordered it in all of the colors but I can't wear orange! (which was the only other choice, rats!).

 

I do order a lot of eyeliner here and no one can equal my fav designer, Hagit.

I have sort of trained myself to not pull the trigger right away. Sometimes the Q has the best deal, but often it dies not.

@ECBG Hello sweet angel.  Love you.  Anyway, sometimes I do.  Sometimes I call immediately to cancel it but that's usually when I jump the gun and order before they post the size chart and since I'm in-between sizes the cart makes a lot of difference to me right now.

 

As you know (because I often send you things...ha!) sometimes I just keep things rather than send them back.

 

Speaking of that...I have some things (still that big tub) I will be sending out soon. 

 

Be safe.  Have a wonderful weekend.  Love my sweet Cathy.

If I'm unsure, I look around before ordering.  It's not very often I change my mind.

I seldom regret an order. When I decide an item is what I need (or want), I never search for a better price elsewhere. I never watch live presentations and only view styles/brands that I know work for me. It's too difficult to cancel an order and I hate paying return shipping charges.

In the past, maybe fairly often had  a regret as I ordered a lot.  Now I shop here a lot less.     I do like some of their cosmetic brands when they are a TSV or some type of kit that is a good value.  I do buy most of my Philosophy here, but I have so much now and I don't like the huge bottles.  I like a variety of scents so it takes forever to use up those big sizes.  I have pretty much quit ordering clothing -- I can do better locally or dept. stores online.  I do like Linea, but have a lot already.  That is the pretty much the only brand I would consider now.  Don't order food (tried some and wasn't worth the price).  I formerly bought a lot of kitchen items, but now they seem to have the same gadgets all the time.  Nothing seems to be new and interesting.

I put things in my cart if I’m undecided and then go back later to see if I really want it. There are some things I want and don’t hesitate to get it immediately.

 

I bought some Temptations that I shouldn’t have because my cooking days aren’t what they used to be. So they sit in my cabinets but sure are pretty to look at.

Yes clothes....I try not to place the order at all and just keep it in my cart and think about it for 15mins or so....I find better things locally at the store and most of the clothing items from Q don't fit quality is poor and so on.  I remind myself of this when I am tempted!  It always looks really good on TV/model but it rarely looks that way when I get it home.

Regret? No.

 

Returns mostly because of quality? A lot.

I used to immediately charge items, now I do all my orders as CHECK orders.  I read the reviews and the I change the method of payment to a credit card.  This process has helped me greatly.  Check orders are good for 2 weeks so I change the method of payment at about the 1 1/2 week point.
