By the
way, whatever happened to the window shoppers? In our younger days we used
to gaze at the beautifully designed shop windows, appreciating their wares
though not always indulging in actual buying.
Today people have no
more time to look at a shop window to select an item. Plus, tastes and
preferences have also changed greatly as they do over time.
As a matter of fact,
the traditional method of shopping has gone with the wind. Now-a-days, if
you need to buy anything, you either buy online or go for mail order
shopping.
However,
mail order clothing could be tricky.
Take for example the
problem of sizing. Size eight from one store stands for size ten in
another, since different brands have different sizing systems. So, unless
you are acquainted with the sizing method of the shop you have selected,
it would be a waste of time and money to go for mail order clothing.
Television shopping
channels and online catalogues pose
similar problems. Their views on the topic are nevertheless, persuasive.
Since we all are different shapes and sizes, they argue, our clothes come
in different shapes and sizes too.
Apart from the size, mail order clothing
fabric also requires your attention. In the case of a stay-at-home mother
who spends a few hours with the children outdoors, silk may not be
suitable for her.
So you need to select carefully. Then
different fabrics require different treatment. Whatever is good for the
linen may not be good for polyester. Mail ordering clothing thus creates
confusion and hassles.
Those who are very attentive to their
laundry may indulge in mail order clothing since they can take the time to
check each fabric and treat it accordingly.
But most of us are in the habit of dumping
all the laundry into the wash machine and turning it on. The end result,
as you can appreciate, is far from satisfactory.
Despite all the inconveniences, mail
order clothing has come to stay simply because no one has the time to
do actual shopping and online shopping for clothing has more
problems than mail order clothing.
Another important factor could be the
budget that includes one's time frame. Hours saved on shopping may be lost
in weeks waiting for the mail order clothing to reach the
destination. Besides, shipping costs could be considerable if the distance
between the supplier and the customer is great.
