Which online shopping sites offer free delivery if you spend over a certain amount?
Often online stores will charge you a flat rate for delivery, but offer it to you free if you spend over a certain amount. The idea is to both encourage you to spend more, and to reward customers who make bigger purchases. Only making a $20 purchase? You probably won’t get free shipping. In covering the shipping cost, the company may actually lose money on the sale.
Don’t get too caught up in buying more in order to get free delivery. Would you still be ordering the item if it wasn’t just to save $10 in shipping? Sometimes it’s worth your time to spend less overall, and fork out for delivery. If you would buy it (or just want the excuse to spend more), then go forth and shop to your heart’s content.

What are the online clothing stores with fast shipping?
Sometimes you just need a new outfit fast. Like, tonight. Or tomorrow. Or by the weekend. When that’s the case, where are the best places to shop?
The Iconic offers three hour delivery to both Sydney and Melbourne metro areas, and next day delivery for most orders. Saba offers same day delivery to both Sydney and Melbourne, while David Jones offers it to Sydney only.
In some cases, stores will offer you free express shipping if you order a certain amount. Surfstitch will give you free express delivery with orders over $25, and City Beach does it for orders over $50.
Which fashion sites stock high quality clothes?
For high quality fashion, there are some stores to order from… and some to avoid. ASOS, The Iconic, David Jones, Saba, Birdmotel, Saks Fifth Avenue, Portmans, and Marks and Spencer are all fairly safe as far as quality goes, although the quality varies from store to store.
Saks Fifth Avenue sells high-end designers such as Prada and Chloe, and will always be of the utmost quality. Birdmotel, on the other hand, still offers a decent quality, but at a more affordable price. The same could be said for Jeanswest, General Pants Co, Bonds, or Me and Moo.
Some brands will always be better quality than others, so for many boutiques, you may have to judge by the brand name, rather than the store. For example, We Are Handsome is a high quality brand of 100% Australian made high quality swimwear, and is stocked across a number of sites, including Birdmotel, The Iconic, Asos, and more.
Which fashion sites are great for cheap online clothes shopping?
If you’re after cheap fashion online, there are a few great places to get it. Beginning Boutique, Boohoo, and Missguided are all great sites to find on-trend pieces at affordable prices.
Hunt a little further, and you’ll find that ASOS’s own brand is on the cheaper end of the clothing spectrum. The Iconic’s exclusive brands, Atmos&Here and Spurr, are both cheaper options that are still fashion forward and a decent quality.
Of course, if you find a coupon code for your favourite fashion boutique, you can always shave a little off the end price. Discounts are only a search away.
