As a naive young girl before I was privy to the world of online ordering I thought that my choices for shopping were limited and therefore more often than not I was very discouraged in my shopping endeavors. But now that there are thousands upon thousands of websites to order pieces from my options are limitless. However just like everything there is a draw back. The majority of online clothing retailers based in the United States or overseas can ship the items to you for little cost. However due to customs and boarder policies we are subject to pay a duty on the items we have ordered. Which can turn that amazing deal you got on a few shirts and a dress into a not so good deal by paying an upwards of $70.00 in duties. So as a caution when ordering from online retailers be sure to look at their shipping information, some companies have contracts with shipping companies that reduces the cost of duties and some do not. Just be cautious and calculate to spend at least an extra $20.00 to $40.00 depending on your order the next time you shop online, as the duties will be due by the shipping company upon delivery.
