Online Shopping Anxiety

So I created this thread to see how you guys deal with shopping online.

I am located in Austin, TX so there is some alright shopping here but a lot of the pieces i want I typically find online.

This can be great if I know the brand and have tried on their sizes before but I have a little back off from trying new brands that I find online.

I know a lot of these guys offer free shipping and returns and stuff but it just seems like a lot of effort to order something just to try it on and to possibly have to get another size.

How do you guys deal with this?

lol! I need to see those credentials!!!

This is a serious question! What makes you decide whether or not to risk ordering something. For example say I see a great leather jacket that is $1400, even with the free returns it is still a bit nerve wracking to order it and what if you send it back and it gets lost in the mail! Also, I'm a busy guy, so this requires going to the post office and dropping off packages etc.

People buy stuff worth more through B&S with no chance of returns.
