Hi,
Has anyone ordered from them? They seem to be the new asos (since asos prices sky rocketed). Went on a little binge there and ordered a dress and 2 tops just wondering if anyone else has used them and what they are like re sizes and quality?
Thanks

Lil' Smiler

oh no!!!!!!!!!!!! you bad bad woman!!!


Why did i look at this thread?? Now i'm going to fall in love with load sof things and want to buy things i realistically can't afford!!


Hmm.... (thank you!!! :P) yeah not happy about ASOS prices going up and not really liking the clothes all too much lately

Siogfinsceal

yeah i logged on for a look and the shopping just kinda 'happened'...again They seem to have nice stuff and v low prices im just hoping the dress i bought will fit!

ASOS accessories are all right but their own brand clothes are very low quality for the price and the sizes are very dodgy!. seems to be a back lash against them on some Uk sites due to lack of availability of discount codes. oh, if your on ASOS though I think the code 'XMASSORTED' works for a few days from today

Lil' Smiler

oooh interesting!! there's a top i want actually!! thanks for that!

i've bought 2 dresses form ASOS, love them but quite pissed off that one of them, i love it and everything but it has jewels sewn on, i hand wash it yet a whole load of them have come off.


I'd prefer boohoo.com in the style of asos, easier to navigate i think!!

i think i deserve to buy mysef something, i saw a beautiful dress on ebay and when i went back to make a bid, it was gone an there should have been about 11 hours left to bid can't get it out of my head, so amazing!!

yeah i agree id like to be able to see the boohoo dresses on an actual model like on asos rather than just a picture. i bought this sterling dress but hope it looks allright on: http://www.boohoo.com/amfcart/index.php

Well ladies, if you go back about six pages previous to this you'll find the 'is boohoo.com any good' thread...and we are waiting on someone called Watna to give us a verdict! She ordered a dress and we are waiting to see what the quality/delivery etc is like. There are nice pieces on it alright (there is one dress i have avoided looking at in case i accidently buy it!)...

I finally decided to go for it and ordered a top off them last week. I rang them to ask them a question about the top and the girl was very helpful and took my number and rang back within 2 minutes after finding out what I wanted to know.The top arrived within 3 days. It's good quality and just like the picture.I'm size 10/12 (it can go either way) so I ordered a size 12. It's a generous size 12 so I'd have been better with a 10 but that's my own fault rather than theirs. I really can't fault the top. I have a similar one from Top Shop and this is every bit as good quality despite being much cheaper.Over all I was very happy with them and I'm planning more shopping there. Hope everyone is as lucky.
Actually they were recommended in the Sunday Business Post's article on online shopping this week. Not sure if that's an indication of quality but it might be!

I'm the exact opposite on this issue. Seeing how something looks on some gorgeous tall skinny model just confuses me and puts me off in the end. The only thing I feel sure of when I see something on one of those models is that it will never look as good on me.
Inferiority complex ? me? Yes

Ok ladies, My stuff has arrived. It got here in only a few days. However, I stupidly didn't give my work address and the stuff is stuck in the sorting office as it was too big to fit in the apartment letter box. My bf is collecting it for me tomorrow morning so I'll report back on the quality of the stuff tomorrow night. At least I know it arrived in just under a week anyway!

LadyMayBelle

Chilly- what's the quality like? I think some of us were worried it'd be of the Magic/Libaas shop quality, cheap and nasty. I'm keen to get something from the site...can't wait to hear Watna!

The quality of my top is fine. I'm happy with it. I have a top very like it from Topshop and it seems to me to be exactly the same quality. I've never even walked into one of those Magic shops because I hate buying things you know will get one outting and will be mangled by the time it gets out of the washing machine the next day. I'm sure the quality of their stuff isn't going to be on a par with Coast or Monsoon but I'd say it'll be ok provided your expectations aren't too high. Maybe the really nice dresses on it etc are just that little bit too good to be true. I cant wait to hear Watna's verdict on the dress she got either. From my experience so far I'd recommend it

watna

Ok, the stuff is waiting at home. Yay! After I posted on here about it, I went to order the dress and then i got silly and bought a top too so there's more then one thing waiting at home for me! I'll report back later. I'll try take a photo of the dress on me too so people can see the fit. It is difficult to tell what they'll look like on when they're not on people, just floating in mid air!

Siogfinsceal

how long did it take to arrive watna? cant way to see what its like!

You have a point there lol. I do sometimes see stuff on asos models and think 'yeah but im not giraffe tall and my @rse is a lot bigger than hers!'. The customer service at boohoo was brilliant. I meant to order 2 of a certain top. Ordered one by mistake and rang to try change the order before it despatched. Guy rang back to tell me it had already been despatched but offered to place me an order for another of the top with free shipping!
didnt take him up on it (dont lik egivingmy credit card details over phone got nicked before) but v nice offer all the same

LadyMayBelle

Went to order the dress I spotted last week, think it was called wilma or something,and it's gone! boo-hoo! excuse the pun!

Ok, I rushed home to try my stuff on and I must say for the price it's excellent. I'd compare the quality to somewhere like oasis or higher end of high street. I'm really really pleased.

I ordered a top and a dress on a saturday and it was here the following Friday. I can't link directly to the items but they're still on the site. The top is called Trixie. It's really nice on, I'm thrilled because I've been looking for tops for Christmas in the shops and haven't seen anything I like. I'm a size 8 and I never have any problems with sizes. However, As the top has beads at the top which aren't adjustable, it's slightly small, but still wearable. My bf is very impressed! A lot of the dresses seem to be in this style so maybe if you have boobies at all get a bigger size.

The dress i bought is a black polka dot dress called Marie. I'm v impressed with that too. It's made of a kind of chiffon material but, unusually for a cheaper dress has proper lining in it so it's not see through. It's slightly on the big size so I'm glad I got the 8 in that.

I'd say I got a good idea about what the clothes were like from the site. They were as I expected but better quality! The delivery was quick too. i bought stuff on a Saturday night and got an email the next day (on a sunday!) that the clothes had been dispatched.

All in all, I'd highly reccommend it! The quality of the clothes with the price is really good. I'm already thinking about buying another of the dresses for Christmas now!

LadyMayBelle

good on ya watna for getting back to us waiting online shoppers! that's great to hear they fit well etc, thanks!

fits

that site looks great. So many dresses I'd like on there.

_Whimsical_

Great to hear that Watna.. thanks for sharing!
When I ordered I used this code and got 10% off : Discount code: RNV002
It's valid until December 2nd .
I'm not on comission here... honest

Siogfinsceal

Stuff has arrived already which is impressive! The silver shrug I ordered is fab only 5 pounds and nicer than the one Awear had for 30 euro! The dress looks good but I have not tried it on yet so will post tomorrow. Its looking a bit small so I am really hoping it will fit me eeep.
tried to go on and order more items but the site is not working. I rang and told them but they did not seemed too concerned as it worked for them...but its not working for me

Siogfinsceal

Well, tried on the dress on Friday night, nice fit so their sizes fit well. No pictures sorry as I wsnt able to take a pic of myself! Same style as those glittery dresses river island and french connection are doing at the moment. The shrugs are lovely and just as nice as what you would pay 30 for in the shops

supermouse

OMG have seen loads on it that i love!!!

But, is there any way you can change the currency to Euro? Just so you know exactly what you are paying instead of watching the currency market every day?

Maple

went online last night and spent a fortune. very excited at the thoughts of my delivery! will let you guys know.

By the way, ASOS are having a massive clearance sale, some nice bits to be got!

LadyMayBelle

How much does delivery from ASOS cost ?

Maple

Stuff arrived from Boohoo today. FANTASTIC!! I've a plethora of outfits to choose from now for Christmas! Nicer than any of the stuff i've seen in the shops too. (although of course i'm going to say that!)

Sizes are great too, would say they're generous so if you're the middle of a road size maybe go for the smaller one.

I'm so excited!!

How long were u waiting?? I ordered 3 dresses yesterday... What are my chances of having them for the weekend

ams

is anyone else having trouble viewing "more images" - I cant get any up!

Lil' Smiler

yep! i can never view anymore - which is why i'd prefer their website to be in the style of ASOS!

i can't see anything i'm too mad about on boohoo... i need to see it on models i think

ams

yeah even if they gave you the length measurements. Most of the dresses on ASOS are v. crotch revealing so am a bit worried about the length of them on this site!

Got mine today, I'm quite happy with the quality, the only issue is that they're very creased from being packaged but I'm just going to run the iron over them later.

Also one of my dresses was left out, I emailed them about it and they got back to me and said it was out of stock, but it was on the invoice as paid, so they've told me they will refund the price of the missing dress.

Would have been nice if they had told me this when I placed the order but I won't hold it against them this time

Overall I'm pretty happy and plan to buy from them again...

fits

I havent got mine yet

Siogfinsceal

they have just emailed me and given me a code to get 10% off any orders placed before 10th jan 08 which i can also send to family and friends - that was nice of them!
