Hello Friends!

About Urban Touch.com
Some 6-7 months when I was quite new in the makeup and fashion world and didn't know anything about online shopping much,I came across UrbanTouch.com.Its page was flashing on my Facebook page, for two weeks I simply used to visit the site and check what all brands were available.I clearly remember there were just 6-7 brands available and thus it didn't catch my attention.Once when Kimi of Beauty Diaries mentioned that she had ordered for 12 color Nyx palette from the site,I checked out the site.I was surprised to see some 30- 40 brands were updated. I couldn't resist my temptation and placed my order on 7 June 2011 and continue to place till date.
Now I have stuff from several International brands like Nyx ,Organic Surge and several others.I prefer this website as they offer COD and free shipping on all orders.Its only urbantouch that offers COD option to my place at Ranchi.Not a single site except that offers COD and this is the reason why I always stick to online shopping from urbantouch.com.I have shopped exactly 22 times from their site in past 5 months.Recently i had some 'Khatti Mithi ' experience with them:
1-One month back I ordered Faces Moisture Extreme Lipsticks in shade Peach blossom and First Lady.The pictures of the shade some how do not match with the real lipstick.Anyways I found the tip of peach blossom shade was bit damaged and the first lady lipstick was detached from casing.I mailed them and the next day itself they mailed me a Rs 100 coupon code.I liked their prompt action and ordered more stuff.
2-In one of my recent orders they sent me Lotus Herbals Vanilla smooth body lotion instead of Lotus Whit glow Oatmeal scrub.At first I thought the body lotion was a free gift and they had forgotten to give me the scrub.When I mailed them, they called me back and told the scrub was misplaced with lotion.They didn't ask me to return the lotion, rather they immediately dispatched a Whit glow scrub the same day.
3-Now in my last order, I received a Nyx Auto eye pencil in Electric Blue.I was kind of excited to try it as I love blue liners a lot.When I opened the cap, immediately the liner popped out and I found it was entirely broken and there was simply no way to fix it.I clicked a picture of the whole mess and sent a mail to urban touch.com.Within few hours they mailed me back and asked if I wanted a full refund or a coupon of Rs 180 (Price of the pencil) as they didn't have the the particular shade in stock.I opted for coupon and applied that in my current order.
4-Now in my current order I ordered Nyx Terracotta blush as it was in stock,but I received a call from them that though the option of add to cart is available at site, the blush is not in stock in real and I shall have to wait for it.Am still waiting for processing of my pending order.
-They offer several payment options including COD to remotest places.
-I usually get my order within three days after ordering.
-I have requested in past to stock up products from some well known brands and they did it in a short span of time.
-Their customer service is very prompt, helpful and active.
-They are offering surprise gift in every spend of Rs 500.
-Whenever I received damaged products from them, they offered me options of full refund or coupon worth of same price as the damaged product.
-They have recently added an option called 'Notify me'. When a product is out of stock,after clicking the option we will be notified they have it in stock and place order.
-Even after placing an order, we can call them up and cancel the entire order or ask them to remove few stuff from the order according to our convenience.
-Each and every day they add new products to existing brands and add new brands to existing list.
-Prompt response on their Facebook page.
Minus Points:
-There should be a new section such as 'Whats New' corner, because its really difficult to browse all brands everyday to check what all they have added.
-In my recent order I received 4 Surprise Gifts. Out of 5, 2 were same products worth Rs 70 each.The third one was Rs 90 each and Forth one was Rs 275.Well there is so much disparity.
-These days, I noticed several stuff that showed available at their site was not available with them and they called me up and asked me to wait.The 'Out of Stock' icon should be there for such products.
-Most of the pictures of Lipstick shades do not match with the real product.
-They work from Monday to Friday.So if you have any problems in between that you cant contact them till Monday.
-Once a product is out of stock, you never know when it will be in stock.It may be available the next day or after a long time or may be never.
Overall my shopping experience has been very pleasant with Urban Touch.com and I intend to shop more from them in near future.
UPDATE:
Urban Touch now offers Free Shipping on all orders above Rs 300.Order worth below Rs 300 bears Rs 30 shipping charges.
