Shopping online: SoSensational selects and showcases all the fabulous clothing, accessories and beauty products, chosen specially for fabulous, grown-up women, from thousands of brands, websites and stores, for you to buy, safely and securely via the store or brand’s own website. But SoSensational is not a transactional site, which means you are buying THROUGH SoSensational, but not FROM SoSensational.
When you are shopping online and see something you like on SoSensational, click the “Buy now” button or image, and you will be taken directly to the merchant website (i.e. John Lewis, M&S, MyWardrobe, etc). You can then shop with complete confidence, knowing you have that merchant’s safeguards, and delivery and refund policies.
We are all buying on the internet these days. And because you are savvy and computer literate (of course you are: you look at SoSensational, don’t you?), you have probably bought books or cinema or theatre tickets on the internet. But if you are nervous about taking the next step and buying clothing or accessories from a website, we want to tell you about the advantages of buying on the internet. First of all, with SoSensational, all the clothing and accessories on our pages have all been carefully selected and showcased for fabulous, on-trend grown-up women. When you buy an item of clothing, you can try it on in the privacy and comfort of your own bedroom or dressing room. You can try it on with different underwear, or shapewear; you can try it with different height heels, and under a jacket, or with a skirt you already own.
TIPS TO MAKE YOU FEEL MORE CONFIDENT ABOUT INTERNET SHOPPING… When you hit the “SHOP NOW” button on any of our galleries you have NOT committed yourself to buying something that you just wanted to know a bit more about… The “Shop Now” buttons throughout the SoSensational site ONLY take you to a page where you can view the garment or item in more detail – where you can see about alternate colours, sizes, and measurements; postage and packing charges, and other relevant information such as volume and weight with cosmetics or fragrance. You are a long, long way from a commitment to purchase when you hit that “SHOP NOW” button.
You can withdraw from a purchase all the way to the very final click at the end of the checkout procedure, which is a feature of all the websites we link to. Think of it as the pizza you put in your supermarket trolley, and – as you are about to pay – you remember you are going away for the weekend and have no space in the freezer, so you remove it from your trolley. It’s the same with internet shopping; if you suddenly realise, after completing the delivery address and all your credit/debit card details, that you already own a nearly identical black pencil skirt, you can simply abort the purchase.
When you do decide to buy anything through SoSensational, you can be confident we work only with reputable brands and companies. They operate secure sites which allow purchases through secure methods, such as PayPal or Secure Trading. By using these payment methods, you can be confident you are NOT sending your credit/debit card details to someone who may misuse them. If you enjoy internet shopping it is worth setting up a PayPal account. It is always better to pay by credit card, as payments made by a debit card are not covered by The Consumer Credit Act and there is no legal obligation on the card provider to reimburse you.
For your own safety NEVER send credit or debit card details via email. If you receive an email, which appears to originate from a company from which you may have made a purchase, and it asks you for details relating to your bank account, or credit or debit card information, do not send any details.
Make sure that the web address of the page starts https:// before you enter any personal information or payment details. The ‘s’ stands for ‘secure’. There should also be a small padlock at the bottom of your screen.
Always print out a copy of your order and a copy of the acknowledgement that you receive by email.
Often the fee for postage and packing is waived if you spend above a specified amount (you will be told this during the purchase process). Some merchants do not charge postage for the return of unwanted goods, providing you adhere to the terms and conditions laid down by the merchant, even where you are returning goods simply because you don’t like them. Very often you may return goods to a branch of the shop (i.e. Marks & Spencer), which saves queuing at the post office. If goods are faulty, under the terms of The Sale of Goods Act, you should either not be charged for return postage, or will be reimbursed for postage.
