Shopping for summer clothes online is a great way to get a head start on your summer shopping. But deciding which sales are the right ones for you can be tough. With so many options, it helps to narrow down the best deals and summer sales. In this blog post, we’ve put together a list of 2023 summer sales that you should definitely check out. 

1. Nordstrom Anniversary Sale

The Nordstrom Anniversary Sale is perhaps one of the hottest sales of the summer season. Whether you’re looking for a sale on summer dresses, shoes, accessories, or beauty products, they’ve got you covered. The sale starts a little late in the season. However, it’s totally worth it. In 2023, the Norstrom Anniversary Sale is expected to begin on 17th July and end on 6th August. 

The cool thing about this sale is that if you’re a Nordstrom cardholder, you get early access to the sale. This means you can get all the good stuff before it sells out. You can apply for the Nordstrom credit card on their website if you still haven’t.

Returning something you didn’t like?

Part of the online shopping experience is sometimes being disappointed by what you got. After all, you can’t physically see the product that you’re purchasing. As a consumer, it’s your right to return the items you paid for if you’re not pleased with them. This process can get a little complex if you want to return something that you bought from an overseas retailer. Particularly, getting customs charges back can be a hassle.

If you want to return something you don’t like, you can use this online calculator to figure out how much import duty you are owed. From here, you have two options. You can either file a claim with HMRC to get your money back. However, this process is long and tedious. There are lots of forms to fill out and there’s no guarantee you’ll get your money back, even after months. 

The other option is to let Duty Refunds take care of it for you. All you have to do is fill out this short form, upload a few documents, and we handle the rest. We aim to get you your money back in four weeks, without the hassle! And we only take 15% of the charges, provided that your claim is successful.

With that in mind, you can start your summer shopping with ease, comfort, and excitement. Happy shopping!
