Clothing shelves rebuilt around weight figures

Clothing rows now state grams per square metre

Expansion

The clothing shelves were rebuilt this month so every row states grams per square metre — the quickest way to tell a fleece that will hold its shape from one that will not.

Why it matters: GSM tells you more quickly than any photograph whether a fleece or tee will feel solid. Rows without it are marked, so you know a question is worth asking.

Each carries a GSM figure, which means you can separate a substantial hoodie from a flimsy one before ordering.

Inspection scope restated in plain wording

What inspection does and does not cover

Revision

Inspection covers shade against the original listing, faults visible in a photograph, the size label, stitching, and whether what arrived matches the notes you sent. It does not cover odour, how a fabric feels, or authenticity of any kind. Understand it as a camera pointed at your parcel, and nothing more than that.

Why it matters: once you know where the limit sits, inspection stops being a guarantee you imagined and becomes a check you use properly, including asking for extra shots.

Images confirm colour, visible flaws, the tag, stitching and whether the item matches what you asked for — but not smell, hand feel or durability.

Freight notes rewritten for this season's rates

Freight notes rewritten around weight and volume

Guide

The freight page now leads with weight and volume rather than distance. A compact, well-packed box costs less than a bulky one, and putting several orders in one parcel reduces the share each item carries.

Why it matters: busy seasons and out-of-the-way addresses both add to the bill. Use the estimator with the weight the warehouse actually recorded, before you submit rather than after.

Category pages rebuilt around the checks that matter

Category pages rebuilt around the checks that matter

Guide

Category cards were rebuilt to lead with the same four things: who the section suits, what to verify first, which part of the photo set matters, and the trap newcomers fall into.

Why it matters: nearly every bad outcome comes from a mismatch that was visible in advance, whether that is a sizing convention, a missing weight figure or a detail the images never showed.
