General Inquiry: Are there people here who do a lot of online shopping?

Just curious if anyone on this site shops online a lot: specifically for clothes. T-Shirts, sweatpants, hoodies, hats?
 
Can't get shoes under 120 bucks at a brick and mortar in my size, if they even have it. Can get them online for half that easy with free shipping.
 
so thats 1. ok...
Thing is I'm trying to create a clothing brand and I'm probably gonna do a kickstarter in the near future and I got a bunch of designs so now all i gotta do is get the word out.
 
Treat it like people do with Deviantart, Etsy, girly stuff like that. It sees some success. Start slow, sell basic stuff like designs and patterns. Small amounts of completely custom stuff. See what sticks. If you can put some stuff out for fandoms, like twitch streamers, lesser known youtubers or other random stuff that won't get a big corp to slap you with a copyright and you'll probably get decent business.
...You know, so long as you're innovating on a design and you ask permission or talk with the person(s) you're making fan merch for.
Kickstarter probably won't work till you've established a brand, got some word out and stuff; sadly leeching on a fandom is the fastest way.

I know a girl from texas who started selling aprons of all things at $50 and it started paying off the entire vacation when she went to cons. Blew my mind.
 
Honestly i want to online shop but at the same time i might get ripped off in my honest opinion. Like ebay for example.
 
Clothes? Not often. I only shop online for things I cant get easy by just going out to a store vithin 1-2 km of where i live. Whole bunch of clothing butiques in my neigborhood, so thats never a problem.

Wel... ocasionally I'l online shop for a certain piece of latex/BDSM clothing that just isnt sold in "reputable" stores. :p
 
I shop online for nearly everything because due to school and working full time, I really never have time to go to the mall and shop. As long as the website is secure (because I don't want my card information stolen) and the customer service and return policy are good, then I'll shop online for anything that I can.
 
I buy about 90% of my clothes online these days, but it's mostly dresses and skirts, etc. These days if I can't wear it for work or for dancing, I try to avoid it.
 
I have panic disorder so online shopping is a godsend for me. I use Amazon for miscellaneous things like phone cases and books, and I use Etsy for gifts, Earthbound Co. for decor. I usually go to the store to buy clothes, though, just to make sure they fit. Not always.
