They add new sales daily and each sale last about 2- 3 days. That does not mean you do not have to act quickly - they great items and most desirable sizes go fast! They offer great discounts on high end designer fashion. They also offer 4 separate sites. It first started out for women - to sign up go to www.gilt.com/invite/mylink48 - this one membership gets you into the other 3 sites. They have a site for men, for young ladies and also a travel site with some great travel deals - it is not a travel agency - it is just discounted packages for spas, big city hotels and all inclusive vacations. I LOVE this site and all it offers - shipping is a bit slow because sometimes the products ship direct from the manufacturer and others from their shop - but it is well worth the wait! Great customer service too! Go get in on the fun. The sales start everyday at 12:00 PM unless otherwise noted - you can also receive reminders to your email so you do not forget what is going on!
