So the other day I attended a Zando launch where I got to learn about some of the new brands they’ve got coming in. (Big names include x, x and x). Afterwards, they gave each guest a R300 gift voucher to blow in their online store and I picked out this cute black Zoom handsakkie.

Navigating the site to find it was as easy as lemon meringue pie (the best kind!) and I liked that they feature several shots of each product so you get a really get a good idea of what you’re buying. After making my purchase (late in the afternoon, just before 4pm), a friendly delivery dude rocked up at my door the very next morning. Sjoe! He even waited for me to open up the pakkie and check that I liked the bag up close. If not, he’d have taken it back with no questions asked and at no extra cost. Awesome, right?

Seriously girls, I was so impressed with the whole experience I’m now a totally convert. I LOVE that I can check out a cute pair of shoes on a fashion blog and, if it’s stocked by Zando, I can just get clicky clicky to have it delivered to my doorstep within a matter of hours for FREE. And you don’t even have to have a credit card to shop; you can go the whole cash on delivery route too.

Anyway, Zando now sell beauty goodies too and spoiled me further with a li’l box full o’ beauty loot:

Oh! And before I forget, Zando now have their own magazine that comes out four times a year.

Flicking through it’s kind of awesome ‘cos you know that if anything happens to catch your eye it can be yours after just a quick, easy visit to their site. No more trekking le malls on a Saturday with screaming, crying, snot faced children. Oh! And look who I spotted getting his model hotness on inside? Why it’s our darling friend Dene Botha.

Anyway, if you haven’t tried Zando or feel nervy about buying shizz online I really do hope you give them a bash. I was so impressed, will undoubtedly use them again and hope that other South African stores follow their lead in regards to ease of browsing/purchasing/deliver and having no weirdo ‘terms and conditions’ that make it difficult to send back anything you don’t like.

Nice one Zando peeps! A cool two thumbs up.

Love, love
