Wetseal.com is one of the sites that I (a mom of a preteen and teen) recommend for reasonably priced trendy fashions. This merchant sells apparel and accessories for females, sizes 00-13/14 or XS – XL. The site is easy to shop at (from browse to order completion). Graphics at Wet Seal online are reflective of merchandise sold. Our orders have always arrived in a timely fashion, they’ve contained the proper merchandise, and charges to my card are always accurate.

==============
There is a Wet Seal brick and mortar store reasonably close to our hometown, but shopping online is our number one choice for purchases from this merchant. It is our view that the selections at the online site surpass the storefront, and the size availability is better. My daughters (12 & 16) are very slender and unfortunately the storefront is often sold out of the needed sizes. Additionally the storefront is usually crowded and the merchandise racks are crammed together (or clothing is hung way too high).
It is important to note that this online merchant often experiences a quick turn-around of merchandise. If you really like an item you see, it is advised to purchase it as soon as possible, as in during your initial visit. There have been incidents where an apparel item has been sold out on return visits (yes, even one day later). Bottom of the line: don’t procrastinate!
Parents and young shoppers will appreciate the pricing at Wet Seal. Whereas a design label hoodie at sites such as Pac Sun average $39.50, a stylish hoodie at wetseal.com can be purchased for $16.50 (and up). When this site offers merchandise at a sale price, the pricing is amazing (for example a designer shirt for $4.99), but don't camp on returning to find an item on sale. Rather, consider yourself a blessed shopper when you happen upon a really good deal!
PAYMENTS/ SHIPPING
Wet Seal Online Store accepts: Visa, Master Card, American Express, Discover and Wetseal 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, second day and next day. I select standard/ground. Shipments have arrived timely (usually takes 5-7 days).
SAVINGS
I strongly recommend that you register, allowing you to receive special offer email alerts. Additionally, if you like the merchandise at wetseal.com, it is likely you’ll appreciate the savings available via purchase of a Seal Deal Club Card. Initial purchase for this card is $20, allowing you 20% off of initial purchase, followed by 10% off of following orders for one year!
FINAL POINT
As indicative I am pleased with all of my shopping experiences at Wet Seal Online Store and strongly recommend this retailer to those seeking reasonably priced and trendy clothing that is aimed toward young adults. The only challenge we’ve experienced is when one shirt arrived with a safety tag attached. Because we were already planning a trip to the local mall, we allowed the clerks at the storefront to remove it.
