RedTagCrazy Review

Edit September 13, 2009: I wrote the review in Maym 2009. Since then, there have been many changes to the site which are I believe have brought down the overall quality of the shopping experience. While the discounts remain, prices have risen sharply and quality has lowered. The community, which was the best part of the site, is now heavily monitored and those who dare to say anything negative are banned without notice. Sometimes for no real reason at all. This has led to a drop off of chatting and fun times we once had as people are afraid to speak openly and never know when they will be banned. Many have complained of defective clothing which I have gotten myself, and others are upset by the sharp rise in prices. At this time, I can't recommend the site to you. It was an awesome experience for a while but now, I won't go back. I am going with 2 stars and will upgrade when and if the site becomes more stable, the quality rises, and I see positive changes. It's too bad because I once was the site's biggest fan!

This is the review I wrote before the changes:

Quick View: If you long for designer clothes but can't or won't pay the ridiculously high prices that most stores sell those clothes for, RedTagCrazy.com is for you. This site sells high end designer clothing at a fraction of the full price and has a great community as well.

About RedTagCrazy.com

Red Tag Crazy is a website that sells one item of women's designer clothing every hour or until the item is gone. They also have times when they have speed sales where a new item pops up every few minutes and you have to grab an item as fast as you can to get the deal. I installed the www.redtagcrazy.com Firefox add on that has a little pop up when a new item is for sale. I can tell immediately if I want to look at it further or pass on it. They are also on Twitter, MySpace, and Facebook updating their sales. You can get email alerts as well as text ones. There are a host of ways to stay in touch with the site and know what's selling when.

This site sells clothing from a host of designers like linQ, Joes jeans, Victoria Beckham's line, Cinc, Aude, Paige, Zlush, Cullen, Lucky Brand Jeans, and many more. Prices are discounted drastically, sometimes up to 90%. I have searched for items selling on the site and found them on other websites for more 75% higher than Red Tag Crazy was. The hitch is, there are limited sizes and colors and you have to grab your size/color FAST or lose your chance. Items often are offered several times, though. You just have to be there at the right time.

You can buy one item for a shipping fee of $5.00 to $7.50 or you can opt to hold your cart for a week. Everything you buy within that week after the first is just 99 cents to ship.

I love the online community. There are a group of women in "Chick Chat" on the site who know way more than I about the designers and they are so helpful and friendly. They often post pics of themselves wearing their buys so we can get an idea of what the items up for sale actually look like on a real person and that helps so much in decision making.

There are blogs and contests as well and the staff often pops in and joins in on the conversations. The staff could NOT be more helpful or friendly.

Returns are accepted on everything but "crazy deals" which will be marked as such. You will get Red Tag Cash back, which is credit toward other items on the site.

The deals are just amazing. I can't believe that RedTagCrazy.com can even afford to sell these high end designer items at such low prices. It's an addictive site and one I am so glad I found. The clothing is perfect, not seconds or returns, and the site is run very, very well. The whole aura of the site is one of friendliness and like you're at a clothing show with a bunch of friends. They accepted me, the complete n00b, and taught me a lot about the designers, the fits, and how the site works. I find myself drawn to the site just to chat and drool over the clothes. And, of course, toss a great deal into my cart now and then.

My Viewpoint

You can't go wrong with RedTagCrazy.com. They have a large array of designer clothing that they sell and the savings are vast. Sure, it can get frustrating when something you love is sold out in your size or when something you don't love is posted and you have to wait 50 minutes for the next item but the savings are worth it. Install the toolbar and you won't have to even think about what's selling. You'll always know. I love the site and I love that I can actually afford designer clothes now! Was 5 stars, changed to 2.

Extra Info: You can earn $5.00 for every friend you refer and that friend will also get $5.00 credit toward their first purchase by simply putting the person who referred you to the site's email address in the "promo code" space when signing up on the site. I avoided giving my email address because this is a review not a solicitation.You can also put up a link or widget on a blog or website for more Red Tag Cash.

I do NOT recommend the site. I can't change my recommendation due to a bug but I am giving it a thumbs down.
