Pretty much get what you pay for.

Sizes are miniscule.

Took ages to deliver and when I returned they took 2 and a half weeks to refund. Wouldn't touch them with a barge pole!

Dancergirl · 04/08/2017 16:09

Delivery is very fast. My dds love them.

agree you get what you pay for, ok for something 'in fashion' that you might wear once or twice. I think true to size (like topshop, new look, h&m sizes) rather than generous (like M&S, next etc)

The quality isn't great, think of them as an online Primark.

Desperad0 · 04/08/2017 16:11

oh and I think fast delivery, haven't had to return anything though

Depends. My dd uses it a lot. They seem to sell lots of different makes. Some of it is really good stuff and the odd thing is crap. You don't know till it arrives. She's just got 2 lovely play suits, 2 body con dresses, a body suit, sandals, bikini, swim suit, dress for her hols. The play suits, swimwear and 1 dress are really good quality, 2 body con dresses are ok, the body suit is see through and nasty and the sandals are like cardboard. The delivery and returns are fine. I think its ok for what it is.

I placed a huge order last week in the sale with an extra 20% off and they cancelled it saying it was too big. Told me to place the whole lot again split into separate orders of no more than 10 items. So five orders which blocked my card and I had to ring the bank and unblock it. By this time the 20% off code had expired yet they have refused to reapply it even though I ordered the exact same items.

4/5 orders have arrived. I'm sending 70% of it back. The sizes are really small and things like leggings and jumpsuits are really baggy around the bum. There were a few items with defects and some things just poorly made. Having said that, the stuff I am keeping I really love and think is good quality. It just seems a bit hit and miss and I wasn't impressed with their customer service. Free returns though.

Justgivemesomepeace · 04/08/2017 16:16

They often have codes for 20% off or free next day delivery.

Cheap, poor quality tat!

Underparmummy · 04/08/2017 16:24

Ive had positive experiences with a bag, some sandals and a top. Cardi and dress ok. Lower expectations to meet prices!

TipBoov · 04/08/2017 16:26

Very hit and miss. Be prepared to send most of it back, and just bear in mind that you get what you pay for!

nineinchnails · 04/08/2017 16:58

Thanks everyone. I think I might avoid it Smile

Well I'll admit that I live in Boohoo jersey maxi dresses and skirts all summer. I also love the bright printed midi skirts. The only other thing I would consider buying from there are cheap jumpers for lounging around in.

I've always had success with Boohoo - fast delivery, accurate description/pictures of items etc. Its cheap and cheerful, though. Primark stylee.

MaisyPops · 04/08/2017 18:14

I love boohoo.
You have to be prepared to wade through pages of tat that you'd never order in a million years, but I'd say I've been happy with 90% of things I've ordered.

Their sizes are quite narrow fitting, which suits me because I'm 6-10 across a range of shops. I buy a 10 on boohoo and their dresses fit perfectly for my frame. I get the impression their sizing is based on the teen/student market.

When I've needed to send something back it's been quick and easy.

It's not top end quality (generic new look/primark sort of thing) but I like the fact I can order from them & be reasonably sure it'll fit.
