How do I love Net-a-Porter? Let me count the ways. The latest example of just how thoughtful Net-a-Porter is: while their orders normally come in chic black packaging, you can now choose to have your order delivered in an unbranded brown paper bag (think sandwich) so as to not draw attention to your shameful and currently inappropriate online shopping habit. This special service is only available where shopping is presumably the most shameful, in New York. So when you are back in the mood to buy stuff, here are other reasons to give Net-a-Porter a try:
1. Every item is featured fully styled so you always have an idea of how to wear it;
2. We all know too much choice makes for a paralyzing shopping experience. Net-a-Porter simplifies the work for you by curating a selection of only the best pieces from each designer;
3. There is excellent customer support including a 24 hour help hotline;
4. Delivery to Canada is $30 and arrives the next business day;
5. It has good sales but they may yet be beaten by a rumoured soon-to-be-launched sister designer outlet site; and
6. Their Style Fix guide offers great suggestions for office wear or any event or occasion you might be shopping for.
