Hi,

Has anyone used any of these and what are your experiences?
Good or bad? Seem to good to be true, so wondering which are safe and which to avoid.

I use brand alley a fair bit,its a very established site

I’ve made my first ever order with Brand Alley and completely failed to notice the very long delivery time. A month between ordering date and estimated delivery.

If it turns up and fits that’s ok but if not it’ll be a pain to be back at step 1 of buying a winter coat half way through December.

At that point I may as well wait a week and see if the coat comes into the Boxing Day sales!

I have been happy with everything from brandalley. Even bought my wedding dress from there! (I didn't want a traditional one)

of course I completely forgot about delivery times. So used to things appearing in a few days. That is something to consider but prices seem so good on there.

What are returns like with Brand Alley? Do they refund easily ?

I buy uggs from brand alley every year plus Hunter wellies and all saints items. I love brand alley but you have to be quite on it with the emails and sales. The delivery time really varies - the uggs come in a few days now.

I've never had any problems with items or returns etc except I think you have to pay postage.

I bought a couple of things from Brand Alley , one has a delivery window of 2 weeks , the other 4 .so it is something to be mindful of.

I've bought shoes several times from brand alley and I've never had issues

You can return everything there's nothing weird there

I recently ordered a Didriksons coat for my adult son and a load of parks candles for Christmas gifts. The candles turned up a couple of days before the quoted delivery window, were well packaged and in perfect condition, and were a steal. The coat is due in early December so fingers crossed for that - but so far, so good

I’ve used Brand Alley a few times and never had an issue , although you do need to check the prices and not just accept that it’s a bargain because it’s on there .

I’ve used Brand Alley a few times and had fairly quick delivery and good prices.
However last time I ordered they sent me an item that had clearly been mis-described on the website, think something like a child’s T-shirt being sold as an adults. I had a lot of problems getting in touch with them and then they said they would look into it but didn’t get back to me. Eventually I returned it but had to pay return postage which I didn’t think was fair.
