Is shopping online safe?

Usually I am a risk taker. I love to break rules and do things that may put me in harms way. However, I am not willing to put my baby (ie, my credit card) at any risk at all. There is this dress from http://www.dracinabox.com/ that I want to buy (http://www.dracinabox.com/more/on/details/01410) for a wedding I'm going to. Has anyone shopped over drac in a box before? I'm worried that it won't come and that I will have payed for nothing. I love my baby and need to keep it safe. Same with my tiny bank account.

I've thought about buying one or two things from that site a few years back, but never did. Mostly because the site looks real badly made, and as a general rule, I won't buy from someone online if they don't look like they could be the real deal.

But I've never bought anything online and not got it, so...

I never thought at looking at how good a site has been made. You should have seen drac in a box before it changed it's site, it was really crappy. Still, the clothing is awesome!

I remember. That's why I didn't buy from there. It was terrible.

I assume the word that was bleeped out was l-olita?
I want a l-olita dress... They're generally cute...

Yes. It was L-olita. They're always cute. But I especially love the beautiful, romantic ones. Sometimes I like the short, frilly l-olita dresses.

I saw that movie and read the book as well. L-olita is a really good book. It reminds me of Woody Allen.

Is that really an appropriate dress for a wedding, though?
Go for something more subtle.

Actually, yes, it is. This wedding doesn't have many guests, and it's in a field. It's sort of a casual clothed wedding. I'm sure no one will be wearing the traditional white. Anyways, it's my sister's wedding. She won't mind. But thanks for the tip.

I ordered from dracinabox a long while back, when their site was in its previous incarnation. No problems whatsoever and the stuff arrived in good time. They seem trustworthy to me.

Why the hell would that word be starred out? Censorship is lame.

Drac-In-The-Box is a good site to order from. I have gotten a few things from them and they have always been spot-on.

Kambriel is leagues better in dress selection. This is so true.

I guess I'll go for it. They DID reply right away after I e-mailed them, so I'll take a risk with my baby (ie, credit card)
