| Full Review |
I've been an avid shopper and surfer at Bluefly.com for two years, and I'm constantly turning my female friends on to the bargains they can find there. Unlike some brick-and-mortar outlet stores, the majority of Bluefly's merchandise is in top condition--I've never received one second-rate or damaged item. The great selection of designer merchandise cannot be beat anywhere else on the Web.
Bluefly.com deals in many brand names, among them: Calvin Klein, DKNY, Polo Ralph Lauren, Nautica, XOXO, Croscill, & Wamsutta. Bargains abound in every category. I've bought a pair of DKNY sunglasses for $18 (retail price: $44); men's khaki Nautica pants for $19.99 (retail price: $54); Wamsutta bath towels for $6.00 (retail: $9.00 and up).
I find that I have the best luck shopping for lingerie, men's clothing, and housewares, because these are all rather general categories. The selection of women's clothing sometimes leaves something to be desired--you'll have the best luck shopping for basics, like black pants, but I have occasionally stumbled across adorable dresses and designer sweaters. As with all online stores AND outlets, the key to finding great stuff at Bluefly.com is searching, searching, searching--and checking back often.
At Bluefly.com, you can search by designer or category, or both. The handiest feature that this site has added is a search-by-size feature. Since not all of their clothing is offered in all sizes, you can plug in your size, and the search will only return items that will fit you. This is a fabulous time-saving feature that makes shopping at Bluefly.com really pleasurable and simple.
Bluefly.com is also extremely helpful when it comes to gift and holiday shopping--I search the "gifts" category all year long, looking for cool stuff at good prices to give away. Almost as much fun as shopping for myself!
If you choose to have them sent, Bluefly will also send you e-mailed updates of sales and new merchandise. Their customer service department is extremely helpful and will answer your e-mailed questions quickly. Shipping prices are very reasonable--no more or less than you would pay at other online stores, and with standard delivery, your items will usually arrive within a week.
I highly recommend giving Bluefly.com a try if you've never shopped there before--you never know what you'll find, and your closet AND your wallet will thank you!
