Bodyline Review

As usual I have disappeared again -_- Not by fault of my own I promise! I'm so busy with work nowadays and trying to organise things, bah. Anyhow, I put in an order with bodyline just for some shoes and a pair of OTK socks, and wanted to share my experience with you :)


Ordering 5/5
I normally don't have issues with Bodylines website, even though the interface is lacking in user-friendly-ness, but ordering is relatively simple so I had no problems... Add to cart, pay, done!


Communication 4/5
I got a confirmation email immediately after paying, but I received a strange email a few days later saying something like, 'Don't worry your items are on their way, there was no problem." I'm not sure why they sent that.. Maybe as a precautionary email in case something went wrong? haha..


Shipping 5/5
Considering the public holiday that lasted from Fri
day until Tuesday, It was a speedy delivery(a week). I selected DHL purely because of the holiday shipping and such. Normally I'm not fussed with EMS which is calculated by weight, so next time when I order say, a heap of socks, I'd rather EMS.. DHL has a really cool feature that you can sign up to be notified when your parcel is moving and tell you where it is. It was extremely handy because I'm not always home, but I knew when it was in the city so I could be here. :) Packaging-wise, it looked like it went through a shredder or something! Nothing was harmed but still, be nice to other peoples stuff guys!I know you cant really see it in this photo, but the bottom left corner is all shredded and holey and such.. The other side is as well but that has my address plastered all over it ^_^

This is the Shoes and Socks straight out of the package... There is a *strong* chemical
smell from the shoes. Its been a day now and they've aired out so it's all good :) I think if I order shoes again, in a lighter colour, I might order a crushable hat with them, they always seem to send those in boxes, and therefore will maybe not come all scuffed and abused?


Shoes 5/5
I purchased Shoes152 in the matte black colour, in a size 25.5.. I'm normally a US/AU size 9-9 1/2 depending on the brand, but I measured my feet and 25.5 was the closest.. They fit SO comfortably! In my opinion I like the extra room, it means I can wear thicker socks :) As far as quality, they're just as goo
d as any other non-leather shoes I would buy, and for only $37? You can't really go wrong.


Socks 4/5
Socks279.. Normally there's no problems with socks, and this isn't really a problem so
much as me being nit-picky.. :P
Here they are when you pull them out of their little package;

Cute hey? The lace is soft, and they have little bows on the front... right?
Wrong! One has a bow on the front, the other is a bow on the... back? Weird.. Nothing that can't be fixed by twisting the top half of the sock a little... But I might either take both bows off completely, of take the right one off and re-position it.. Otherwise this is a lovely pair of socks. Thin-ish while still be
ing opaque. Like business socks I'd say! Another thing, these are perfect length! I'm nearly 5'10 and are a good few inches above my knees. I was really worried after hearing some socks end up not even going up to some girls' knees when they're advertised as nearly thigh high! But I'm happy with them nevertheless.

Overall 4/5
Minus the baaddddd chemical smell and the backwards bow, I'm thoroughly happy with my order :) I'm planning on doing a big sock order in the future as well so it should be fun!
In other news, I will be putting in a F+F order soon for a new skirt and JSK, so be on the lookout :)
