About this time a year ago, someone asked me who's slogan was "The Genuine Article". The answer was on the tip of my tongue, but I just couldn't get it out. I ended up finding it online when the search engine took me to www.oshkoshbgosh.com. This site makes a great fist impression. The web site is basic, the clothes are feasible, and the name means quality.
Appearance of Site
I really like the appearance of this web site, the clothes really sell themselves. They have divided the departments up by baby, girl, boy, men, other. There are subgroups within those departments by size, and further broken down by type of apparel (shirt, pants, shoes). The titles are also color coded, pink for girls, blue for boys, purple for babies, orange for men, and green for other.
The items are pictured displayed flat on a white background, no models. They are in columns 3 to 6 long and about 9 per page. Once you decide what specifically you are looking for, there will only be a few items in that category. For example, I wanted to get my daughter a sweatshirt. I found the link for sweatshirt and found 6 items (all on sale for $12-$13). I then searched long sleeve t-shirts and found 19 items. I found some really cute shirts for only $8.00.
If you click the item, it will give you a description of the item, washing instructions, and size chart. The price is right below the item, so you don't have to click through to see how much it will cost.
It is almost impossible to get lost on this web site. You can either follow the links or click the drop down box.
Sale!
Did somebody say sale? Every time I've been to this site, they've had a sale. The current sale is 50% off of selected items--and there's a lot! On top of the sale, they have free shipping on orders that are $50.00 or more. This sale will only be for a short time, but you can check online coupon sites (such as www.flamingo world.com) for ongoing weekly discounts and shipping deals.
Have you ever noticed that decent sales or after Christmas sales never have the size your looking for in the traditional stores? One of the greatest things about this site is that the sales and clearances are not hidden.
Shipping Prices
Shipping rates are excellent compared to most online stores! Instead of weight, they charge by amount you spend. For example, $0.00-$49.99 is $5.00 ground, $50.00-$99.99 is $12.00 2-day UPS. Orders placed before 12PM ship the next day.
Returns
One of the concerns about shopping online is how you'll return the item if it doesn't fit. You can easily return the item by mail, or to a local company owned Osh Kosh B'Gosh retail stores in your area.
Finding Store
If you'd prefer to shop in the store or return something, you can click the 'Store Locator' on the top menu bar, it will give you a list of Osh Kosh retail stores and also has an optional list of stores in your area that sell Osh Kosh items such as Burdines and JCPenney's.
Gifts
For those of you with cute little grandkids out of town, you may want to opt for some gift certificates. You won't have to make any returns due to the wrong color/size or even pay for that extra shipping!
There's also an area for recommended gifts which can be just as helpful. Lots of stylish items which would make perfect gifts at a reasonable price.
Finally there is a gift wizard which basically searches by price and size.
Security
This company is registered and verified with Verisign. Verisign is reliable in ensuring a company is legitimate and securely encrypting personal data such as your credit card number.
The Company
The company has been in business since 1895 and sell more bib overalls than any company in the WORLD. They have also expanded their inventory to include shirts, sweaters, shoes, strollers, bedding, and types of things.
My Experience
It's been awhile since my last order so I don't remember exactly how long the turn around time was with this site, but everything was definitely satisfactory. I'll be excited to see my new little outfit I picked out.
Wrap Up
I just can't help but think the Osh Kosh bibs are the most adorable clothing a little one can wear. I wore these when I was a kid and I've been dressing my little one in Osh Kosh since the first week and they have out-lasted almost all of her other items.
And hey, if you loose a button or the buckle for the overalls break, you can get a replacement! Contact Consumer Affairs at 800-692-4674 or on their web site under the customer Service choice.
