First off, you see Loro Piana, you automatically think, “CHA-CHING!” Not exactly a brand you casually toss into your online cart, ya know? We’re talking serious investment pieces. So, the thought of getting that cashmere sweater *locally* shipped? I mean, it feels kinda weird. Like, wouldn’t you expect it to arrive by, I dunno, a team of trained vicuñas or something? Jokes aside, I get it. They gotta get their stuff to you.
The snippets I’m seeing mention “skm online” – that’s Shin Kong Mitsukoshi, right? A fancy department store, so makes sense they’d carry Loro Piana. Then there’s Julian’s, which sounds like some high-end boutique somewhere. The point is, Loro Piana is clearly branching out beyond its own website, which is, y’know, smart.
Now, the bit about “お買い上げ合計金額が16,500円(税込)以上の場合は送料無料です。” – that’s Japanese, obviously, and it’s basically saying if you spend over 16,500 yen (which, let’s be real, is probably like a handkerchief at Loro Piana prices), you get free shipping. See? Local shipping incentives! Gotta love ’em. Although, honestly, if I’m dropping that kinda cash on clothes, free shipping better be the *least* they do. I’d expect a personal butler to deliver it in a temperature-controlled van. Just sayin’.
But here’s where my brain kinda shorts out. “Local shipping” for Loro Piana… it just feels… I dunno, pedestrian? It’s like serving caviar on a paper plate. It gets the job done, but it feels… wrong. I mean, imagine the delivery driver, all stressed out about meeting his quota, handling a freaking Loro Piana coat. My anxiety level just spiked thinking about it! What if he spills coffee on it?! (Okay, maybe I’m being a little extra.)
And then there’s the tracking. Ooh, tracking! We live in a world where we can obsessively stalk our packages. So, yeah, you can track your Loro Piana order. You’ll get notifications. Yay. But really, if you’re buying Loro Piana, you probably have someone *else* track your packages for you. Just a thought.
