Bang for Your Eco Buck: Tobi.com

Written on July 21, 2009. Written by Jennifer Nicole.

I’m the kind of girl that hates to pay for shipping.  I know, I know: when you’re getting good deals online, it’s almost expected…and I shouldn’t look a gift horse in the mouth.  Still, when you’re picky about your purchases, you want to get more bang for your shipping buck!  Buying a pair of jeans (plus shipping) on one site, then a cute fall top (plus shipping) on another…that ain’t going to cut it.


Ajna Eboni Sculpted Shrug: $380 $76

Give me an online boutique with free ground shipping and I’ll come back, again and again.  Those costs, along with return rates and customer service options, are some of the non-eco things I check before I make any purchase, and if they’re not up to par, I’m not likely to spend my money there.


WeSC Straight Leg Jeans in Organic Rinse: $106

Online boutique Tobi has passed the Shipping Test: they have free ground shipping for any size order (in the continental U.S.), they offer one-to-one customer service with an actual human being, and they are actually clear on their return and exchange options.  In fact, they appear to be completely full-service: thorough international size charts, programs to reduce waste (Love an Ugly Box), and explanations about organic products and raw denim.


The Laundress Dryer Sheets: $16

You read that right: Tobi appears to have all the best service, AND eco-friendly products.

 
Prairie Underground Prism Dress: $84

I haven’t made a purchase there yet – I’m what you might call a “broke ho” right now – but it’s definitely my next stop for sustainable and eco-friendly clothing.  The items permeating this post are all listed in Tobi’s Eco section, and every single thing ships out, UPS ground, for no extra charge.


Matt and Nat Ito Clutch: $163 $114

Too busy looking at the clothes to read that whole post?  Here it is, in short: Tobi has an entire eco-friendly section, and everything in it (and on the rest of the site) ships out for free.  Simple as that.


Melissa Scarfun Summer Wedges: $99

    i’ve bought from tobi more times than i can count (i always wait for a coupon code though) and they’re great EXCEPT it takes at least a week for my order to arrive (i’m in Atlanta, they’re in CA) which makes me VERY impatient. when i order from shopbop, i always get my order in a few days…i guess it’s worth waiting for if i got an amazing deal, but still, i am so used to things getting here within a few days that it throws me off that they take so long LOL
