I haven't ordered from Lands End before but afaik they are good quality - sorry couldn't help more


As for buying shoes there's normally a size guide which will give the size in inches so get the measuring tape out and make sure :) also with the likes of trainers like Addidas and Nike they usually have the UK size and then the US size on the tongue.

Hi Bree

ASAIK 6pm don't do coupons all that often as their prices are good but another way around it is to try the official Sketchers site and then the dept stores as they often do the brand names as well - you may be lucky and get a reduced price that you can use a coupon on too (just like the Reeboks they posted for Kohls)

PrimrosePink - what kind of goodies are you after ?

Opps,my phone edited the word from hoodies to goodies! :) I thought I read somewhere on the rc thread that they would no longer dispatch to our addresses - maybe I have that wrong - I must ask Ann!

No you can't order from Abercrombie, Holister or Tommy Hilfiger. They won't ship to them anymore.

Okay - be warned there is a stupid question coming! Is aeropostale a kids shop or adults? I had a quick look but it looked like kids sizes?

No not stupid at all, Aeropostale is supposed to be teens and grown ups but I think their sizes are very small. They also have PS which is the smaller kids clothes and there's a link to them on the main site.

If you are thinking of ordering anything for yourself just check out the size chart and make sure you are doing okay. It's mad the range of sizes and how they vary from brand to brand.

Aero hoodies are great value but they are on the Skinny side because they are aimed at teens so buy bigger than you think you need , you could also try American Eagle . Old Navy are great too because they are adult sized and they usually have good discounts ,there is 30% off at the moment
Usbc can get A&F and Hollister in their local shop for you , they just dont have the same selection as online. Let Ann know what you are looking for and she might be able to get it for you.

Is that 30% off everything, even the stuff that is reduced?

Twinkle we've all been like that especially at the start - I know I was dying to get my stuff, however as I explained to my cousin who I referred to USBC - why would they delay with your stuff as they are only delaying their payment ?

Also a good way of looking at it is that the little wait is a trade off for value - what I mean is that if you got it courier delivered it would come sooner but it would also cost and that for me would be the killer - getting great bargains then losing them by paying over the odds for delivery.

The way you are doing it now is a win - win for you :D

It will be like Christmas morning in your house when it arrives :biggrin:

Erin it's very hard to say, my little girl is three and petite for her age and I bought the 3T and they fit and I'd say I'll get another while out of them. Your best bet is to go into the size chart / size info and look at the measurements compared to your childs. I've found this is the best way to go as there is so much variation in stores HTH

Thanks. I don't think there is a sizing chart on it though. I can't see it anyway!

There is, it's just beside the picture

I found some of the toddler stuff on the small side, usually go by the measurements now!

For kids clothes I'd always go up one size at least as I find US kids clothing to be on the small side, especially if ordering from Macys for some reason. I've just ordered some skorts (skirts with built in shorts) for the girls and can't wait for them to arrive!
