I don't get how people don't mind buying clothes without knowing the fit and then send back the ones that they don't want. Going through the work to send stuff back pretty much defeats the efficiency of shopping at home, IMO.

totally agree, but i notice most shops in the central cities, and not just here in nyc, lack the stock on hand to try out a bunch of things like we easily used to be able to do in the before times.
