Myhabit fashion sale site is closing on May 20, 2016
Unfortunately Ideel fashion sale site started offering less interesting sales and then closed its doors. Now Myhabit is following Ideel. Recently it has significantly increased the price of international shipping. Besides that sales became less attractive. All these factors have probably forced many customers to leave Myhabit. No wonder Amazon is closing the doors of Myhabit now.
Before closing Ideel (former ideeli) offered awesome sales. Until now I haven't noticed anything like that at Myhabit. Amazon can sell stuff from Myhabit via other its ecommerce sites including Amazon.com, so no wonder we may not see any real bargains at Myhabit. But it is worth keep watching Myhabit until May 20.
Amazon suggests to use Amazon Fashion instead of Myhabit.But it is interesting that BuyVIP, a European version of Myhabit offering different products, keeps working. It doesn't ship internationally, but I was able to ship BuyVIP products to Russia via a parcel forwarder Qwintry. The disadvantage of this method is that the seller can't exclude VAT when shipping to a location in Germany.
As for other American fashion sale sites, I will keep using many of them including RueLaLa, Gilt and Zulily. These fashion sale sites won't replace Ideel and Myhabit for us, but it is better than nothing.
Fashion sale sites like Ideel and Myhabit became very popular several years ago. They have managed to get tens of millions of customers. Unfortunately what was good for customers, didn't allow the sellers to be profitable. The end was inevitable. But still customers can use the fashion sale site that have survived to their benefit.

Groupon and the worst customer support ever
I've been a loyal customer of Ideel for 5 years. We've made dozens of purchases there. But when Groupon has bought Ideel we've started spending less time on its web-site. Still it was not that bad.
Everything has changed after Ideel moving to the Groupon web-site. After reading about this news I found out that I could get my promotional credits refunded. On January 13, 2015 I contacted Ideel support via ideel@groupon.com. Several days later I got a reply that they apologize for the delay and will refund the amount to my debit card.
The money supposed to appear in 3-5 business days. A month later I still can't get the refund. And the problem is that Groupon support is the worst one I have ever contacted. They don't try to solve your problem at all. And they don't even try to read your quoted message.
Several replies had messages saying I had no credits at all or my credits have expired. And this is despite of the fact that the $50 refund was approved before. No to mention that I got yet another $25 promotional credit after January 13th. When I told support about it, they replied several times that they can't find any orders associated with my e-mail. When I sent them my e-mail they asked me about the problem I had or asked me to provide the order number, despite the fact that everything was quoted in the e-mail.
In my last message I wrote everything about the problem once again mentioning my e-mail at Ideel. Nevertheless the support wrote "I'm unable to find any orders under" my e-mail address. They go in circles without even trying to read the question. It seems like Groupon support needs lots of support, because from my experience it is totally useless.
Will I recommend Groupon or buy from them again? Hell no.
