Redhead74 Posted April 25, 2014 Share Posted April 25, 2014 What online sites do you guys use?I buy my shoes from Robinsons Shoes or Debenhams, who have an Irish site which is handy.I sometimes use Asos or Mr. Porter too Has anyone ever used Gilt ?I hear good and bad things about them. Namely good deals and terrible customer service/returnsAs a principle I never buy from a website that has reputed bad customer service. It's the sole principle of online shopping! There has to be trust and a dependable level of decency. I've bought dozens of things from asos and I recently had one parcel that never made it to my address. I contacted them (which wasn't easy because everything is set up for purchasing, not responding after the money has been spent) but I did successfully communicate with them and they actually refunded me the money. I was impressed. I was later able to re-order the items that never arrived and have since gone back to my usual level of spending with them (which is way too much) but my point is that good customer service is tantamount to a successful online business. And they have always been awesome to deal with when it came to returns. No questions, just complete refund, which is as it should be. And it's not hard to have good customer service when you don't have a retail aspect to deal with. So for me: shit customer service = deal breaker.

Guest Len B'stard Posted April 25, 2014 Share Posted April 25, 2014 (edited) Whats that? A mistake on my behalf - I was thinking of a shalwar.No i ain't got one, no Do when i go back home though, I make a point of it, blend in, not go carrying an attitude like a lot of lads from over here do, it's embarrassing. They turn up looking proper proper proper crisp, i saw a lad at Islamabad airport once with, get on this, a five finger ring Straight up, i ain't seen one of those since 1991 but he had it, looking like Big Daddy Kanes youngest. Stupid though, most of em have got fucking impoverished families and like...mate, you're gonna walk over fuckin' mountainous terrain and over rivers and in massive fucking cow pats with these fuckin' sick Jordans on, it's like what are you like you cunt It's kinda nice too, when you get to that country you know why you fuckin' wear it, it's SOOOOOO fuckin' hot, in jeans you just absolutely die...and cuz it's mountainous and my pussyclaat western legs just get fuckin' knackered, it's so bad by the time I've walked into town I need a half hour rest, you just POUR with sweat, everyone fuckin' stinks there it don't matter how much deodorant you use, by heres standards by midday you'll be sweating to death. They always wake up at the crack of fuckin' dawn and go into town like 6 or 7am and i never understood why until i left the house one time at 11:00am thinking i was on holiday time, i nearly dropped fuckin' dead. Smoking weed there is just a total other fuckin' experience too, it feels completely fuckin' different, it's weird. Thawb means something though doesn't it? Thawbie is launderer (as in clothes, not coin) so thawb is in the right ballpark, is it those fuckin' wrap around leg things that Indians wear that looks like an oversized nappy? Or is that the bangers that wear them? Loongi is one name for it, or Thawtie, something like that? You type that shit out really good y'know Pappy, as in like, in the proper way its pronounced, most of the people who speak it can't do that...and I'm from one of the like...totally remoter areas where like...they speak a related dialect so a lot of words are mispronounced. Most of my life i didn't know that bhedchod started with a b, i thought it was a p...and you typed that shit out perfect to the letter, impressive, i dunno how you do that. Also that th sound, as in thawbie, when spoken i kinda say it like a D, i got a confused fucked up mixed up way of saying the shit.But yeah, no to your question. Fuck me, it took 5 paragraphs to answer a fuckin' question with a one word answer Edited April 25, 2014 by sugaraylen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PappyTron Posted April 25, 2014 Share Posted April 25, 2014 Well, I have to look up the correct spelling for some of the words, innit? Some, I just haven't a clue how to spell, like "babloo" - you know, what a mother might call a child in a coochy-coo kind of way - or chosnee. I like mitty ghaand (although mitty is spelled wrong).See what I mean. It's hard work! :lol; Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Facekicker Posted April 25, 2014 Share Posted April 25, 2014 I need to buy a new suit. I'm going to get a grey three piece in glen plaid like the suit Bond wore in Goldfinger. The original was made on Savile Row by Anthony Sinclair and is known as the Conduit Cut http://www.anthonysinclair.com/conduit_cut_s/1859.htmObviously I won't be forking out for that, which probably costs thousands. I'll look out for something similar with a slim fit in Glen Plaid. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Len B'stard Posted April 25, 2014 Share Posted April 25, 2014 (edited) You wanna look into it mate, it's probably not thousands y'know. You can get Saville Row suits like 600 to 800 easy these days, it ain't THAT Saville Row anymore. I mean there are some expensive bastards there still, a great many but not everything.
