Online Shopping - Wedding Dresses on-line


Expert: Linsey Shupe - 10/16/2008

Question
The Wedding dresses on us sites on line are very inexpensive compared to uk shop prices. would there be hidden costs of ordering one to be shipped to the uk? Also how do i know if it is a genuine site , i am very sceptical about ordering something so important, but would be glad of the saving?

Answer
Dear Alexandira,

Thank you for writing, I can understand your concern. I think it all depends on the site. You want to find a reputable site that has done a great deal of business. Something like www.Davidsbridal.com is well know.

It is important to look at their FAQ's, return policies, and shipping costs. This is where information on hidden costs might hide.

I bought a designer replica from a dress maker in China. I got exactly what I paid for. It was not made well, but I can probably fix it...it was an impulse buy...I am not even engaged.

For you, I would recommend research. Google the company name and the word "complaint" if you are still fearful. Also, an alternative is getting your favorite dress made for you locally. Sometimes that is the best bet.

Best of luck to you, and congrats on the upcoming wedding!

-Linsey
