Shop details for LookbookStore
Lookbookstore.co is a Chinese fashion shop. This online boutique specializes in shipping women's fashion, shoes, and accessories to customers all over the world. The site specializes exclusively in Women's Wear, however, so men looking for similarly cheap styles will need to go elsewhere. Stylewise Lookbookstore.co can be compared to Romwe, with the only real difference being that Lookbookstore.co isn't quite as popular (yet).
Fashionistas in the States are once again one step ahead: they already know and love Lookbookstore. With an Alexa ranking placing it among the top 25,000 most-visited website in the US, Lookbook store shouldn't remain a secret for too long! With some insanely low prices and an inventory covering everything in style now, it's no wonder that so many women have already tried Lookbook. Just check in with the fashion community: Lookbookstore is turning into a go-to store for fashionistas the world-over.
Experience with Lookbookstore.co
We've already placed our second test order and now we're waiting for our package. We're pretty optimistic because our first test order was just what we expected. For the first order, we went with the standard shipping and received our order within 3 weeks - a solid performance time frame for free shipping out of China. We've already spent quite a bit of time checking out the site, its product range and its layout. Read on and check out our at-a-glance impressions in the table below to get the scoop on Lookbook Store.
Pros
Cons
Payment
The only payment method offered by Lookbookstore is PayPal. Those of you who don't have a PayPal account, or who simply prefer paying with plastic, won't be able to complete their order on Lookbook until they set up a PayPal account. We always recommend PayPal for international order, anyways. Why? Well, if something does go wrong, you can contact PayPal within 45 days of payment and open a case to demand a refund. No matter if your order gets lost in the mail, is damaged on arrival or contained the wrong items - PayPal can help to resolve the issue. Another advantage of Paypal is its Express Checkout option. This allows you to checkout instantly via PayPal and allows you to forgo making a Lookbook Store account.
Shipping Costs and Delivery Time
Lookbookstore.co offers two shipping options: the free Economy Shipping (delivery time: ~ 7-12 business days) and Standard Shipping (delivery time: ~ 4-7 business days). The Standard Shipping option is a bit quicker, but can cost a pretty penny. When we placed a $35 dress in our shopping cart, Lookbookstore offered us Standard Shipping for $15 fee - and the more you buy, the more shipping you have to pay! That's why we recommend to being patient and sticking with Economy Shipping as a shipping method. If you're in a real hurry, you can also choose Express Shipping - this will shorten your waiting time once again but will add a few extra bucks to your bill.
Lookbookstore.co and customs
Our test order from Lookbookstore was well packed and very carefully declared, which helps but is no guarantee for a problem free transport to its destination. We had luck and received our package without any incidents within three weeks. Still, customs regularly performs test inspections, so it's worth taking the time to read about your country's rules and regulations surrounding international mail, import taxes, and customs fees.
For shipments entering the US, extra taxes and fees on your product are a possibility. Not every order is taxed, the majority being only subject to a fee of between $2 and $9 in the case of a stop at customs. The fees you have to pay can vary depending on the product and how it’s sent. If you are concerned about your item, or are planning to order goods in excess of $500, it is worth it to check with the Customs Office at the port of entry to confirm any extra fees.
Any extra taxes or duties on your shipment can be paid right at your door to the mailman, or the package may have to be collected at your local post office. In which case, you will need to go pick it up and pay any fees at the post office.
Returns
Lookbookstore offers its customers the chance to return or exchange items within 60 days of delivery - regardless of whether the item had some faults, a faulty description (shipping costs will be paid by Lookbookstore in this case) or if the item didn't fit or wasn't to your liking (return shipping fees will be paid by the buyer in this case). In general, you should keep in mind that you must contact customer service before you send something back to Lookbookstore. They have to authorize the return and only then you can send the package back to China. Lookbookstore is definitely more accommodating in offering this comparably long time period for returns (compare Lookbookstore's 60-day return policy with CNDirect's return policy of only 15 days!).
Special Features
Besides running the online shop, Lookbookstore.co also offers its resident fashion fans a blog where they discuss the newest trends, fitting clothing for certain occasions, the right clothing for certain body shapes and much more. In the category „Lookbook“ you can check out the newest looks to get some inspiration on how to rock your next order.
Furthermore, LookbookStore also offers a live chat. We've tested this chat option and received a fast and helpful answer.
After our chat we were offered the chance to fill out a (short) survey and receive a 5% discount coupon for our time - not too shabby.
Conclusion
Lookbookstore impressed us - and the huge amount of positive reviews on the net supports our impression of a legit online fashion store. This store is becoming more and more popular among fashion bloggers and fashionistas alike because of the large and up-to-date clothing range and the very accommodating and competent customer service. The delivery estimates were accurate during our tests - but we didn't order during Christmas or Black Friday, so we can't be certain that they won't fluctuate throughout the year. If you don't choose the free Economy Shipping option you may have to pay quite a bit for your delivery, but that was the only real downside we've noticed so far. Stick with free shipping and you'll be happy with your order from Lookbookstore.
Alternatives
Style and price wise we definitely have a couple of comparable Chinese fashion shops for you, which feature the newest fads and styles for women, as well as, men. Some similar shops for example include OnFancy and BlackFive. Listed below are a few lesser known alternative shops:
| Alternative 1: |  Choies | partially a bit more expensive but also more exclusive, so you can find some rarely fashion pieces. A great addition to a shopping spree at the lookbook store |
|---|---|---|
| Alternative 2: |  Romwe | the range of products as well as the price range are pretty comparable. Check this shop out to see if a product you're interested in is also listed in a different cut, color or price. |
| Alternative 3: |  Yesstyle | many interesting fashion brands, primarily brands from South Korea and Japan, so it does kind of feature the same price class, but the prices can vary immensely depending on the brand. |
