Christian Community Networking is a site that is free to all members and visitors. CCN asks for all members and visitors to support our advertisers by patronizing the businesses and visiting their websites. We have two types of advertisers. The first type of advertiser is a member of our community, this type of advertiser maybe a barber shop, car salesman, plumber, carpenter, personal trainer, or many more. The second type of advertisers is those who primarily do business online, businesses that advertise for clothing, shopping, finance, real estate, jewelry, automobiles, travel, vacations, telecommunications, cell phones, debt relief, home supplies stores, investments, employment, computers, furniture, entertainment, restaurants, shoes, handbags and many more.

Most people still buy clothes in stores, but the tide might be turning. Last year, Americans ordered more apparel, accessories, and shoes online—almost $23 billion worth—than any other category of merchandise, even computers and other electronics.

High gas prices and a dread of holiday-shopping crowds will no doubt spur shoppers to buy clothes online. And that trend makes sense.

In a new survey by the Consumer Reports National Research Center, 85 percent of the more than 25,000 respondents were very or completely satisfied with their online clothes-shopping experience. That's a higher satisfaction score than that for most other services we've measured recently. Only 3 percent expressed any dissatisfaction. People over age 40 were generally more satisfied than younger respondents.

There were no real dogs among the 39 clothiers we've rated. Standouts, including L.L.Bean, Zappos, and Lands' End, tended to provide superior clothing quality, the most accurate descriptions and sizing information, an informative Web site, and an easy way to order and return items. They also gave customers who buy clothes online a big bang for their buck. For example, respondents said that the value at L.L.Bean was excellent for almost two-thirds of their buys. Just 27 percent said the same for Victoria's Secret.

Overall, respondents called clothing quality excellent for 59 percent of their buys; they were dissatisfied with quality just 5 percent of the time.

Shoppers encountered relatively few problems, and most of those were resolved quickly. In fact, in an earlier poll we conducted, billing errors and incorrectly filled orders were so rarely reported that we didn't need to ask about them for this survey.
