    Abercrombie, Hilfiger, Polo, Nautica, Quiksilver, Roxy and more. Everything is guaranteed authentic - purchased directly from the factory stores by the site owner. Reasonable shipping with packaging consideration for the buyer - no surprise taxes or fees. A friend of a friend over in America just started this site. I ordered a Hilfiger backpack and it's the real deal. :)

    there isnt really a great selection there. i found clothes quiet cheap in the states so if there were more products i would use this site.

    good idea but the selection is very poor ! :cool:

    Great to see someone taking the initiative and taking on the rip-off-ireland market. Prices seem to be more realistic than down town.

    Best of luck to your friend Lady JC. Looking forward to seeing increased stock over the next few weeks.

    Yeah, you're right about the selection, but it's cos the site is just starting out and testing the market so to speak. Keep checking back. I saw loads of stuff added last week and now most of it is gone. Or email them with your requests. I saw a personal shopping service page on the site. :)

    The problem with ordering cloths from the States is custom's charge 12% duty on clothing coming in from outside the EU along with the VAT, I got burned once

    That's if you buy over Eur45.00 worth of goods. Generally, anything below that amount is only subject to random custom inspections.......

    has anyone ordered anything from this? i saw a mens fleece which was on the best sellers list but apparently only had one in stock, interesting. good idea though. i would use it if i knew it was ok and there was more selection


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 6 lady jaffacake


    That best seller or popular item list is just like the one on Ebid.ie. It's based on how many times an item is viewed, not actual sales. Well, since my opinion is obviously biased, one of you good board members needs to step up and be the guinea pig for the rest of us. Try making one small purchase so you're not out much if it all goes pear shaped, then post your feedback and tell us what happened.....

    I thought you already ordered off the site Lady jaffacakes, how bout letting us know how you get on. see a couple of things i might be interested in if the service is good

    I have family connections to the site, so my opinion isn't as credible as a complete stranger's. But here's what happened: I ordered a Hilfiger backpack, used Paypal to pay for it, received an email notification with my order info on it, got a request for payment from Paypal, logged on to Paypal and made the payment, got another email saying my item would be shipped out the next business day. It took about two weeks to get it and it was exactly as pictured and described. I didn't owe any additional customs tax - not sure if that's because of the amount or because the form was marked as a gift. But I am happy with my purchase and have no problems or complaints! I would recommend it highly!

    I know it has some (i.e. extremely limited quantity) bargains but is this not pimpage of the site ????


  • Subscribers Posts: 3,703 ✭✭✭TCP/IP


    great idea but what is the point of launching a site with rubbish stock. me thinks i will keep an eye on this


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 24,363 ✭✭✭✭Sleepy


    Complete pimpage methinks. "Family Connections" my arse...


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,357 ✭✭✭snappieT


    One of those 'my brother's sister' things.

    Also, Products: 69 as said on the site!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,057 ✭✭✭TheMonster


    Looks to me as if someone did a bit of shopping in one of the outlet stores. 69 items FFS.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,092 ✭✭✭ShaneOC


    May not have a huge range but I ordered three jumpers (called shirts) from the site. Came to €45 for the lot including delivery. Ordered on a Friday and had them within two weeks. The customs docket marked the item as a childs souvenir sweatshirt with a value of $19.95 and it was also marked as a gift so no extra duties, taxes etc.

    Excellent service all round. Should only get better as the amount of stock increases.

    Have it in my favourites in Windows Explorer. As has been said, fairly bad selection at present but will deffo keep my eye on it. Thanks for post!
