Aeropostale is one of the trendy clothing retailers that, in my view (mom of a teen and preteen), doesn’t break the bank regarding pricing on fashions that appeal to the younger shopper (mostly preteen, teen and young adult type of fashions (guys and girls)). This family unit is currently in the back-to-school shopping mode, and with a younger daughter entering middle school, our budget certainly appreciates any savings, yet our been-there-done-that spirit realizes the importance of fueling the hormone popping kiddos closets with liked threads.
AÉROPOSTALE Online Store offers a website that shoppers can easily navigate. Images load fast and are reflective of apparel sold. In regards to clothing, multiple views of the item are available. This is most appreciated, as the details on the pockets of denims are important to my daughter. It simple to complete orders with this trustworthy merchant. I am pleased with every aspect of the shopping experience, most importantly with the fact that my youngest smiles and expresses thanks!
More Details......
THEY HAVE THE DESIRED SIZES!
Although a brick and mortar Aeropostale is a mere 10 minutes away, the merchandise is often picked over, thus lacking the x-small shirts or 00 short sized pants that my youngest needs (wants?). Add to that the fact that this location is an outlet mall, one bringing in tons of out-of-town shoppers, well can you say CROWDED?! Thankfully the kid and I can kick back in our PJ’s, pull out the keyboard and shop from the comforts of our home. Rather than digging through clothing piles, in hopes of finding the desired size, we click onto a size drop-down menu and load the item into our shopping cart.
I really appreciate the fact that most pants sold by this retailer are offered in various lengths. Do I need to mention (whine) with regard to my loathe for taking clothing to the seamstress? It is very helpful when pants are sold in length options! Sizing at this merchant is aimed toward those needing: womens sizes XXS - XL, womens sizes 00 - 13/14 (various lengths), mens sizes 27X28 - 38X32, and mens sizes XS - XL.
SAVINGS
It is my experience that the clothing at AÉROPOSTALE compares in quality to similar merchants. In comparison to Abercrombie and Fitch, Hollister, and American Eagle, merchandise sold at Aeropostale.com is usually less expensive. However, if you prefer pricing at, say, walmart.com, your jaw might drop.
This online shopper strongly recommends signing up for Aéropostale E-mail updates, as you will be alerted to contests, promotions and special events. This particular feature has saved me a lot of money, because when certain merchandise is on sale, it is REALLY marked down. For example, this past week I was alerted to a denim event. Rather than paying $49.50 for a pair of jeans, I was charged $24.99 (online special).
PAYMENTS/ SHIPPING
Aeropostale online store accepts: Visa, MasterCard, American Express, Discover Online Gift Certificates, and Aéropostale Gift Cards. I have successfully completed purchases with a bank debit card. Accurate charges to my card occur when the merchandise ships.
This online merchant offers three shipping methods: ground, third day and overnight. I select standard/ground. Shipments have arrived timely (usually takes six days). I don’t recollect seeing the packaging, as my daughter anticipates the contents and quickly frees the items. Oh if she would get this excited about emptying the dishwasher!
As indicative I am pleased with all of my shopping experiences at AÉROPOSTALE Online Store and strongly recommend this retailer to those seeking trendy casual clothing that is aimed toward young adults.
