Hey guys and girls.. This is going to be a special post today as I am reviewing a growing online shopping site of India called Stylecraze. I am so much impressed of their service and hence I wanted to do 2 posts about their site.

If you haven't heard, it's a must to check what they are and what they say about their site.. First, let me start with the appearance of the site and the "About" things.

The site is well designed with a very pleasant orange and white colour combination which makes it looks very classy. I also loved their cursive written Logo very much. The slideshow of recent and best brands display on the homepage and it describes the site more than anything. 


More About StyleCraze.com  (Info as per the site)




 Chetana, the founder of StyleCraze is a hard worker, that you can realize seeing and shopping at StyleCraze. And you can read more about her in the "About us" page. She is very kind too.. You know why? I will tell you the reason.
         Long before, I placed my first order at Stylecraze, in a wrong way (Products messed). I even confirmed the order and after that only I got to know it got totally messed up. I felt really upset and didn't know what to do. After that, with half hope I contacted Chetana through the email address (Mentioned on the site) I didn't expect that I will get a reply but I got, so soon!!!!!! She kindly convinced me and cancelled my order instantly, and so that I got another chance to place my fresh order again. This is the first reason why I love Stylecraze. I am very much pleased with their kind customer service which helps in online shopping a lot.
