When I test a new shop I usually start with one or two items instead of a huge order. If tracking never updates for weeks, I start to worry about the order. Of course shipping delays can happen, but good communication reduces stress.
Trendy pieces are fun, but I only buy them when the price is reasonable. Loose hinges make the glasses slide down the nose again and again. Online shopping will always have a bit of risk, but experience makes it easier. In the past I have wasted money on items that looked good in photos but felt cheap in real life. Sharing real world usage stories is often more helpful than any advertisement. I think sharing honest feedback helps other buyers avoid the same mistakes. For fashion and clothing I pay attention to fabric thickness and stitching details.
Personal experience with an internet store
When I test a new shop I usually start with one or two items instead of a huge order. If tracking never updates for weeks, I start to worry about the order. Of course shipping delays can happen, but good communication reduces stress.
If anyone is interested in real user experiences, I sometimes write short notes about the shops I test.
