No matter how hard I work to ensure that I'm always prepared for whatever life throws at me (sartorially speaking, at least), without fail, occasions arise in which I realize that I need something I don't have. But I'm also an online-shopping devotee who isn't fond of visiting brick-and-mortar stores. Because of these reasons, over the years, I've figured out which sites won't let me down when I need something—and fast. I'm talking wide selection, quick and affordable shipping, and great customer service.
After moving from the West Coast to the East Coast a few years ago, I've realized that some of the sites I used to rely on for quick shipping have changed due to where they ship from. (Not that this stops me from ordering from them—I just have to plan ahead a little more.)
Ready to bookmark these sites the next time you're in a wardrobe-induced panic? Keep scrolling for my recommendations and shop my current picks from each.
1. VERISHOP
Verishop is increasingly becoming one of my most-shopped sites. It offers a great variety of brands (both affordable and designer) and plenty of staple basics. Shipping is always free (yes, really) and most items over $35 are eligible for two-day shipping.
Verishop also curates great contemporary labels like Staud.
The perfect last-minute gift.
These are too cool.
2. SHOPBOP
I know I'm stating the obvious here, but if you just order from Shopbop by 7 p.m. CT, the free shipping option will get your item to you in three days. Even better, if you log in with your Amazon Prime account, you get free two-day shipping or next-day shipping for a mere $4 per item.
Perfect for a last-minute brunch with the parents.
Order these now, wear them for seasons to come.
Who wouldn't want these to come ASAP?
3. Moda Operandi
Miraculously, ordering from New York based Moda Operandi means fast shipping across the United States within one to two days. Plus, the customer service is as good as it gets.
Secure the bag stat.
So precious.
These sandals are a worthwhile long-term investment.
4. AMAZON
You're probably already aware, but I'll say it anyway: An Amazon Prime membership is worth every penny. Two-day shipping is free, next-day shipping is $4 per item, and same-day shipping on certain items is usually less than $10.
You'll look so chic in this.
Slip skirts are a must-have for warmer weather.
So cute!
5. FWRD AND REVOLVE
Fwrd and sister site Revolve offer free two-day shipping and $20 overnight shipping. Not bad if you ask me. And between the two of them, you can find anything your heart could possibly desire.
A sound investment for the warmer months.
Perfect for summer.
Khaite is never a bad idea.
These shoes are so posh.
6. ASOS
If you sign up for an ASOS Premier Delivery membership for $19 per year, you'll get your items from the UK-based e-tailer in just two days. Otherwise, it's usually two-day delivery for $8 (also not bad at all).
Leather jackets are a perennial favorite.
This dress is a great addition to your fall wardrobe.
Biker boots will never go out of style.
7. PIXIE MARKET
WeBest Knockoff Luxury Clothing editors are partial to Pixie Market's affordable statement tops, and they'll arrive at your door in two to three days via USPS Priority Mail. (Shipping is free for orders over $75.)
So good.
You'll wear these all the time.
Is a big night out coming up? Order this now, and it will come just in time.
8. NET-A-PORTER
I don't need additional incentives to shop at Net-a-Porter, as I'm already hooked for many reasons, but it doesn't hurt that the e-tailer offers free three-day delivery and $20 for next-business-day. It's another one with impeccable customer service to boot.
Stunning, right?
We love a luxe tank top.
Jeans are a must-shop year-round.
9. MADEWELL
Especially on the East Coast (most items ship from Virginia), Madewell orders often arrive within a couple of days. Standard shipping is free if you're a Madewell Insider (it's free to sign up) and just $15 for guaranteed expedited shipping.
Chic and cheap? *Adds to cart*
The perfect jeans can be delivered quickly!
Ballet flats are always a good idea.
10. Other Stories
Other Stories is one of my favorites for chic separates and pretty dresses. The brand offers free shipping on all orders over $100. If you're based in Manhattan, you'll receive your order within two to three business days. Otherwise, it takes one to four business days using standard delivery (which costs $6).
Halters are having a moment.
Great for everyday wear.
Oversize bags are back in style.
