Bags are my weakness have no doubt about it! We all have our weak spots so yeah mine are bags 😀 I’m always on the lookout for something new and slightly over a year ago, I featured the Rebecca Minkoff Morning After Bag which is a design I am partial to and I love new designers.
I managed to hold out on the 2 Oroton 50% sales recently despite serious temptation from Tine and Beetrice but I could not resist the Shopbop.com free international shipping offer especially when I saw the Rebecca Minkoff Morning After Mini bag on sale!
Shopping on Shopbop.com
It was my first ever purchase from Shopbop.com and I’d never have bought it if not for the free international shipping offer (for purchases over US$100 until 30 June 2009 – no code necessary . Usually, shipping from Shopbop.com is astronomical – I’ve checked. [Note: As at 2012 Shopbop now offers free express worldwide shipping with purchases over US$100]
As I was using a credit card from outside the USA, I was asked to fax over a copy of my credit card or statement and a photo ID which I dutifully did. It was to prevent fraud and I blacked out most of my personal details anyway. A confirmation email was sent the next day with my UPS tracking number which I dutifully checked with the UPS site regularly and with growing impatience each day I had to wait heh….
The bag was delivered by UPS (courier service) which means faster shipping than the usual 2-3 week wait by USPS mail. I placed my order on June 7, the item shipped June 9 and I received the package on June 11. Very nice!
