Beyond the Rack- let's shop !

Hello lovelies, today I want to talk about this cool website that I discovered almost a year ago

What is the BTR :
it is an online discount store ( not quite like other stores) that each day offer discounts on special brands and each of the events are open for a few days. it has everything form clothing ( women, men and kids), jewelery, accessories ( sunglasses, bags, wallets, belts,...), electronics stuff and lots more from brands like YSL, coach, Dior, Marc Jacob...

How it works:
if you're a member of the site you would receive emails from them about the events of the day, which usually opens at 11:00 am (eastern time). at the beginning, all the events opened at 11:00 but now they have some events opening at 17:00 (eastern time) too, which are usually called 5ive at 5.
look for those (5ive at 5) cause you could get some pretty good deals there.
when the events starts you could see the stuff that are available for sale, you choose the items and it goes to your shopping bag, you will have 20 minutes to do checkout and pay for the items, otherwise it will go back on the website.

Good to know:
1-some of the stuff are available in very limited quantities (like 5 or 7), so they go very very fast ( few seconds after the events start). so if you think you like something, don't hesitate and put in in your shopping bag, you would have 20 minutes to decide.

2- when you buy a stuff, they BTR people send your order to the supplier ( they don't have the stuff back at their offices). this leads me to the next point.

3- the shipping time; as I said in the last one, the supplier recieve the order from BTR, and they ship the items to the BTR and then they will send them to you. so it will take long time to receive your shopping stuff.
sometimes I really forgot what I bought from them (took over a month), however sometimes you will receive fast. so there is no general rule on that but be aware.
so beware if you need something in urgent, don't get it from the website cause you probably won't get it in time.

4- you can return your items to them if you don't like them, you have to pay for the shipping though. they will not return your money to your credit card but they give you credit for shopping in BTR only.

5- to be a member of the website, you can register in their waiting list or get invited by someone.that specific person gets credits of 10$ for 10 friends invitation.

About Me

wellcome to my blog

Well, Hello there. I'm Mania. Wellcome to my Blog.

I love beautiful things: Design, art, photography, flowers, landscapes, pottery, jewellery, fashion, colours, music, people. I love to smile, basically I smile all the time and when I am not definitely something is wrong.

I love cooking and baking and eating. I enjoy experiencing new food and recipes. I try to have a healthy appetite but I do not ban myself from eating anything.

I enjoy keeping healthy and active. I like working out and doing exercises, yoga, taking walks and being outdoors.I enjoy dancing and dancing related workouts at gym and I’d like to do a bit more of them specially Latin dancing.

I’m a bit obsessed about shopping. Clothes, shoes, jewellery, make up and anything girly. But I’m a careful shopper; I’m always on the hunt for a bargain and deals. I do consider myself as a good shopper (which was also told by my friends), I am always on the search of well priced items which does not necessary means cheap, as cheap items will turn out to have cheap qualities too.

I enjoy being crafty, like drawing, painting, sewing, knitting and I wish I had more time to do each one of them.

I love going out, sitting in cafes, dining out, house gatherings, parties, barbecues, picnics! I live in a place that has winter for almost 6 months, so I cherish every minute of summer weather by outdoor activity of any kind.In winter times, I can’t think of anything more satisfying than sitting in front of TV, relaxing on a mushy couch, eating take-outs, lights on low, in my PJs and watching TV or reading. I’m a home girl at heart. I also love to go to movies, theatre, musicals, and spectacle occasionally.

Basically, I try to live a balanced life. Fun. Serious. Fast. Slow. Brainy. Relax. Intense. Lazy. My working situation is kinda serious, intense so I try to balance everything with my other passions. This blog is where I write about things I love to do, things that help me to keep my life in balance
