According to Wikipedia this is BLU in a nutshell:
BLU Products, an American company that is headquartered in Miami, FL with a warehouse facility over 80,000 sq. Ft. BLU designs and manufacturers affordable, attractive and innovative mobile devices focusing on fulfilling the needs of the everyday person.

I purchased my first BLU phone over a year ago from Amazon just to try it out. It was just over $100 and it comes already unlocked. Because it was already unlocked all I had to do was pop my SIM card in and away it went. The interface took some getting used to because I was only familiar with Samsung, but now I'm good with it. It was only an 8gig phone so it ran out of space pretty quickly, but by the time it ran out I was more than ready to commit to one of their more expensive models because I had such a good experience with it.

I've never had an iPhone before but it appears to be almost a copycat for many of it's features. However, these phones do have an Android OS and it connects to all my devices no problem. Not only that, but it's so sleek and looks so nice!
Yep I love my new BLU phone :D

Fabletics is another one of those online monthly charge retailers. I signed up for this site when they had a sale where you can get your first outfit for $10.99. So this is a great deal to bring you in. And of course I thought it was great, and I was aware already of the monthly requirement to "skip" the charge.

So my outfit arrived within a week and all I had to pay was $14.00 with the exchange rate. I picked out a colourful set of capris and a plain black top. The fit was fine and it felt as expected. But sadly the quality of this stuff is just not there... The capris are that compression elastane type of fabric where the colour is just printed over top of a white base layer. So when the fabric stretches, the colour becomes quite faded because of the white showing through. The top is just a thin black cottony/ rayon type fabric, nothing special there. So this wasn't really that impressive for me, although I'm still happy with it because it only cost me $14.00.

However, I could not justify spending $49.95 on this stuff, which is the regular price for pretty much all of their items. Overall, I'd say good try Fabletics but I'd rather go to Old Navy or Lululemon for that matter if I really want to spend that much.

I really like Well.ca mostly because they have what I need and are always very consistent with their entire customer experience.

The prices are not always the best prices you can find, but I feel that its sometimes worth it to just purchase it online and it comes to you in a few days. They always wrap everything really well, especially if you order liquids. I always open the box to find the liquid packages to be in plastic bags and nestled tightly with the other products. They just have so many products to choose from and I love that they have little icons beneath each item telling you which one's are products of Canada and whether they are organic/fair trade/ gluten free etc. They have new sales all the time on different categories or brands so I keep an eye on the site to see when my products come on sale. You can easily qualify for free shipping when you spend over $25 I believe, so I usually stock up on my stuff, also I have to mention that they are partnered with Aeroplan so you can stock up on points at the same time too:)

Overall I really like Well.ca and will continue ordering from them

I like Victoria's Secret products most of the time.

I have ordered many different things from this company in the past and they usually deliver what I am expecting. I have a few items from their workout line and they can give Lululemon a run for their money any day. Their bras are good quality, however they are not meant to fit petite individuals. I find there is usually too much space between the cups which makes them sit off to the sides of my front, kind of disappointing when that happens, but hey these products are made for "model" size humans so I can't really fault them for that. Their customer service staff is usually very polite and helpful when I'm in the store, I can't speak to their online customer service as I've never contacted them online.

The online shopping experience is not the greatest because we do not qualify for free shipping here in Canada so there's always an added expense, on top of already pricey products. Some of their cheaper items definitely reflect the quality in the price, but you can't tell that online. I've found that I can get items of similar quality at my local Walmart lol. So if you want awesome quality and are willing to pay for it I suggest just going for their extravagantly priced items, there's a reason they're priced like that.

Overall I like Victoria's Secret, and I recommend their products if it fits in your budget :)

Even though this is a subscription based style of site such as JustFab where you can opt out of the monthly charge if you wish, it is still a very viable site! The items I've ordered have been very cute, soft and stylish as well as good quality. I find their products are true to size (I'm 5ft tall and about 125 lbs - I always order a small) and their site is very easy to navigate, and there are lots of visuals so you can easily see what you're getting. The only downside to Adoreme so far that I can see is their live chat option. This is where you can ask questions about the products and such, so when I decided to try it I asked some basic questions about some of their cup sizes and about a product they offered that looked similar to a delicates washing bag. First of all I had to wait so long for a response to everything I typed I eventually gave up but when I asked about the delicates washing bag they offered the representative had no idea what I was talking about. Not only that but it was quite obvious to me that their grasp of the English language was quite minimal. But with all that being said I still like their products and what they have to offer, shipping times were a little bit longer than they predicted but since they are coming across the border to me here in Canada it is understandable. The items come all nicely wrapped in tissue paper with a bow and packaged in an adorable little box. Nothing has come in squished or bent out of shape. I would probably try out more of their products if their chat service was somewhat improved since it would be nice to ask questions concerning products I would like to purchase before I order them since shipping them back is a hassle as well as expensive. Overall I would have to say it's a worthwhile site :)

I've ordered numerous things from Tiger Direct and I really like their site! It's very user friendly and I enjoy the fact that they are an Aeroplan partner so I can receive extra perks on every purchase. They have a large range of electronic products and are my go-to store for any of the computer components I need. The shipping speeds are amazing, I'm always impressed when I can receive something to me here in Northern Canada in a week or less from the order date. I've not had a need to return anything yet so I cannot comment on their returns department but any other customer service agents I've corresponded with have been excellent. Overall, I like these guys they're the first place I think of when I need tech gear.

I really enjoy shopping with Clearly Contacts. They use an interactive site where you can see their products from different angles and also on a real life model. They have detailed measurements and information on each individual pair of glasses. Their site is very user friendly and I found the order process to be smooth and painless. They've also added the ability to store your prescription details to your account profile so you don't have to add it in every time which is very convenient. I've ordered numerous pairs of glasses and contacts from them and have enjoyed my experience every time. I've had to return twice when I received glasses that didn't quite fit me right and the return service agents were always very very polite, nice and understanding. They never once questioned my motives for returning or tried to convince me out of it. They told me everything I needed to do to have the products returned to them without a single charge to me. Shipping speeds are amazing, I'm always very impressed with how quickly I receive my things. Overall, I really like this online retailer! Sometimes I find that stores that achieve online status from being regular store fronts first take so long to get it right. Clearly Contacts is online based only (to my knowledge) and they know exactly what their doing in the e-commerce world. Keep up the good work guys, we love you!

I tried out JustFab for the first time last year and it seems to be okaaaaay for a subscription based company. I don't normally like the subscription based sites due to the fact that you are required to sign in every month to "skip the month" in order for you to avoid unwanted charges to your credit card. To be fair they do tell you this in the subscription details on their sign up page if you take the effort to read it. This is a sure way to make many consumers angry as we all have full time lives and might not remember to sign in and skip the month especially when they refuse to refund your credit card but give you an in-store credit instead. Alright fine... I'm still getting something for my money, it's not the end of the world. However, that being said I feel then that I am required to find something to use up the credit. But I have discovered that I don't actually like many of their products. I find them to be of low quality, made with synthetic non-durable materials. I have found the same type of product at the junior retailer Stitches or Forever21 and then I can have them without the shipping charges and exchange rate! Not only that but when I don't like the product the shipping costs of sending it back are often more than the product will be worth :( Out of all the orders I've made so far from JustFab I've only kept one pair of boots because the style was so different, I gave the rest away. I haven't had any real problems with their customer service, any representatives I had correspondence with were polite and reasonable. I know lots of other people really enjoy the company and their products, but personally I don't think JustFab will be worth my time in the future.

We don't have an aerie in my town but every time I make a trip to where one is I always stop in! Not to mention they have a great user friendly online site if you aren't near a store. I always check their deals and love their 7 underwear for $26 offer they have from time to time. The designs are just so adorable and fabrics they use are so soft and pliable but at the same time they are quite good quality. I absolutely love the fit of their undergarments. I usually have a hard time finding comfortable underwear as I have large hips and a tiny waist, but this is the only place I buy them now! They are absolutely true to size and the I would say the pricing is about average. I've bought from their store or ordered from their site over 20 times by now and I've never had an item with stitching issues or of a colour I did not expect. Every single time I've enjoyed my experience, whether it was in store or online. I just wanted to share my good experience about aerie with you other savvy shoppers like me :) So I wish you happy shopping!

I really like Old Navy for the generic everyday wearables such as socks and nylons and things such as that but I find that every time I've ordered their clothing it just does not fit me quite right. I guess I just do not have the right body type for their clothes. I'm 5 feet tall and 116-120 lbs so I have a fairly petite frame actually and I find that even their extra small is always too wide in the shoulders and under the arms. But the quality of their items is quite good, and when you order online the shipping speed is quite satisfactory. Also when you order online they send a return shipping label with every order so that you may return any items you don't want free of charge. Their customer service is always very good, their agents are always very polite and helpful. I've had very good experiences shopping with them :)

I just had to write a review about Rosegal because I've seen so many not-so-good reviews prior to trying it out myself. I can honestly say that I love this site! I've made about 10 orders so far and everything has come to me pretty much as I expected it would.

Of course we must keep in mind that their products come directly from some Asian factory, so as you can expect, the sizing usually runs small. I am 5 feet tall and 120 lbs and I have no problems fitting a medium to a small, although sometimes I've had to order a large...

I've been fully satisfied with what I've received so far, I can tell from the pictures if the style or cut will fit my figure or not, keeping in mind that some fabrics will have stretch and some wont. Not to mention every item has individual sizing measurements in the description area below the picture, this has been my savior on their site. You MUST look at the measurements. And let's not forget that the prices are pretty unbeatable. Yes, I admit shipping times can be pretty long, I order my stuff to me here in Northern Canada and it usually takes 3 weeks to a month :( However, they DO say this everywhere on the purchase payment page. And... well it's free so how can I say anything? It still gets to me regardless. If you have a question prior to ordering you can just make an inquiry on that item which they give you the option to do just below the pictures usually. Although sometimes the response is hard to understand due to the broken English...

Overall I have to say I'm impressed with their site. Of course let's not go crazy and replace everything we own this this stuff because we are savvy shoppers and we have to realize that the prices, although super enticing, do often represent quality. So far I've not had any issues with any of my items, if I don't count one broken necklace, likely shipping damage. But hey, I paid hardly a thing for it so I'm willing to sacrifice a bit when I've no expectations of it being Gucci shoes or anything.
