  • An item from a named independent shop, with its street on the page.
  • Picking the item up at a shop's counter, where the shop offers it at checkout.

  • Free returns on everything: most of the boutiques give no refunds, only an exchange, store credit or nothing.
  • A US buyer who wants the duty paid at checkout: it is due when the parcel arrives.
  • A huge range in one order: each boutique has its own shelf and its own checkout.
