Sometimes I buy clothing as gifts for my friends and family online. Some sizes are harder to find at brick and mortar stores, for example I have some family members who wear slim fit sizes that aren't carried in physical stores. I even have a cousin who I had to buy a polo shirt in XS Slim which is very hard to find in brick and mortar stores.
I don't understand the appeal of ordering everything online. I love the convenience of shopping for many items online, but I have given up shopping for clothing online. 90% of the time I end up returning the item, not only because of improper fit, but because the quality is off, the color wasn't what I expected, measurements were wrong, it didn't look good on me like it did on the model, etc. . . The last time I shopped for clothes online, I ordered two sweaters from Kohl's. But it wasn't my choice. I had to buy them online because they of course were not available in store. I ended up returning both of them; one because it was too big and returned the other because the weave was so loose it repeatedly unraveled. It's brick and mortar for me from now on. I heard many customers don't like Stitch Fix either. Users have said the company does not select appropriate clothes for their customers.

I don't utilize companies like stitch fix because im very particular about my own style.
That being said, I buy a lot of clothes and almost entirely online. I pay a little bit more to buy clothes from brands that I know have good quality fabrics, good fit options, and who keep consistency in their fit/sizing and quality. I rarely return things from these stores.
Since you can already buy and return anything to amazon, how is this anything more than marketing?
Note that Amazon does punish buyers who return too many items. Perhaps using this service has a more lax limit as far as the number of items you can return.

I did not know that until now. It looks like returning more than 10% of ordered items triggers a problem with amazon, no matter how much money you spend there.

Are you going to sign up?
This service doesn't require a subscription; I can use the service on any eligible clothing item as long as I include three or more clothing items.
Obviously different strokes etc. But I find the idea of time as a reason to use brick and mortar versus online as an odd one. Most people save a significant amount of time (and hassle) by doing online shipping with free shipping versus going to a store (which I still do for some items - mainly locally sourced or custom tailored items that arent bought online easily or where I want the one on one interaction) and then potentially having to return to a physical store for returns etc.
No hassle with traffic, dealing with crowds, checkout time etc.
Now the argument of really wanting to see every item in person, touch it, try it on, compare it side by side with other items etc. I can see as an argument for preferring brick and mortar. But not time or tedium. But that's just my opinion of course.

As a busy realtor here in South Florida, I have such an unpredictable schedule and its hard for me to just run to the mall and shop. If I know i have an upcoming event, I just go on the app at night while in bed, and boom less than 48 hours the items are on my doorstep! They make returns super easy, and include the label to just slap on the front of the same bag/box for the mailperson to pick up, that's it!
By shopping on Wednesday, I now have an outfit for a baby shower today (cute purse too ), and an outfit for my husbands DJ gig at a trendy Miami Nightclub tonight - winning!
