I definitely did not know that. I've never gotten anything that appeared to be defective from Gilt, but it's good to know. I generally buy from lines I'm familiar with on most of these sites except when I buy home goods (I don't buy linens often enough to know their prices off the top of my head), so I think I have a fair sense of whether I'm getting a good deal, but it's always good to keep an eye out. As for One Kings Lane, I have to admit I have snapped up several great gifts for family members in recent sales. If you have, say, an aunt you have to shop for, a collection of beautiful teacups or a cute serving tray is just perfect! Oh, that’s interesting! I definitely did not know that.

Of course I was startled- how could they send something out so mangled looking? Well, because (it says somewhere in small print, I forget where...which makes me sound VERY CREDIBLE BUT I SWEAR I READ IT!) they sell things that are occasionally defective. Not damaged per se- still usable or wearable. But they might not look exactly like the picture of what they are selling. Couple that in with this: http://nymag.com/daily/fashion/2009/09/gilt_groupe_accused_of_phony_m.html And the fact that I get extremely trigger-happy if I think that I'm in a race to get something and I end up buying way too much crap I don't need and...I've taken my name off of their mailing lists. I just can't do it, I end up buying things I don't even really like or wear or need. Except, of course now while writing this post, I logged on and saw Lulu Frost is up. UGH. TEMPTING!!!
