A bit about online shopping..
It's a no go for clothes, shoes, bags and watches. (For me)
I never have once in my life found myself happy with any online clothing or shoe purchase.
It's just never happened. Just once I bought shoes online for regular everyday wear while I was in India; they were too small. I was sent the wrong size. Surprise surprise. When I did return and ask for my size (41), they didn't have it.
Ditto with clothes. Just once I'd liked a pair of trousers that I bought online, what I did receive was in fact a different pair, and that too was unceremoniously returned. ( both these incident happened when I'd bought stuff online while in India)
I've had better luck with taobao tmall's though. Still I'm usually distrustful of online shopping in terms of aforementioned products. Case in point The gorgeous dress I bought in a fit of impulsive enthusiasm. Turned out one size too small. I will wear it, but don't expect me to do cartwheels in it.
However when it comes to buying things like cushion covers, bedsheets, baking items, obscure food items like some cheeses (which I buy during winters), Indian lentils, good basmati, mayonnaise of particular brands, books, condiments, electrical appliances etc, I usually turn to online gods because finding a lot of these things in food stores, no matter how global those stores might be is often difficult if not impossible.

Dinner done, and now I'm worried what I should cook for breakfast.. sigh.
