Goodbye high street clothes shopping. Hello Amazon.

Prime Wardrobe isn't a new thing.
It's been going for a couple of years.

I'm a fully paid up slavish devotee to Amazon.
I'm a Prime member, have five Amazon echoes, a firestick, a fire tablet, several Amazon smart plugs, and that's just off the top of my head.

There was an interesting series of programmes the other week about Amazon, giving quite a few tips about things to be aware of and how to save money. I’d never heard of Amazon Warehouse which sells returned items cheaply.

They looked at the fashion line and the family who tested them were not really impressed, issues with the sizing and poor quality. But with all new ventures it might improve in time and if you’ve got Amazon Prime, it might be a consideration. I was a bit put off though to hear that it’s likely that any returned items will just be thrown away as it’s not worth the cost of checking them and repacking in order to resell!

I am on Team Amazon as I cannot walk round the shops anymore but I do check prices elsewhere first and usually find that Amazon are cheaper, especially if there is no postage to pay.

I applaud your daughter- There's the taxes and the fact that Amazon is a flowing pipeline of trash out of China that winds up in our landfills-

Team Amazon have bought off them all year and 5beyve been brilliant.

With Woolworths and BHS long gone, Debenhams in serious trouble, Bon Marche and Edinburgh Woolen Mills running closing down sales, these days there seems little point visiting the High Street.

The main street of our local town has more shops boarded up than viable businesses.

I need Amazon, haven’t been able to go to any shops for over 3 years and no one to shop for me.

I can see why people aren't keen on Amazon

However I confess to being Team Amazon myself.

Especially this last year.

Wow! Just like Brexit.
Pick a side ladies!

I’m with Amazon.

I will not buy anything from Amazon until they start paying taxes in each country commensurate with their turnover there.

Everything on Amazon can be bought elsewhere and often cheaper.

DD actually posted on Facebook that she had an Amazon free Christmas and was congratulated by many.

Amazon has just announced its prime wardrobe. Buy 6 items of clothing or shoes, get them delivered to your home, try them on, 7 days to return and only then do you need to pay for the goods you keep. What's not to like?
