As for fit, that can be problematic. The alternative is shopping for fit at brick-and-mortar stores (if one has the item) and then ordering from Amazon, and that's morally dubious IMO. Just this past summer, I ordered two pairs of sandals which were a gold-box special. The reviews said true-to-size, but my feet swam in them. I did exchange them for a size smaller.
That said, I generally avoid ordering items where I think the fit is dicey. Shoes are tough (I ordered the sandals because they were a great deal); sweaters, say, are more forgiving. But that's mostly because returns are a nuisance, not because I think I'd be courting trouble with Amazon.

One of my wife's favorite clothing stores is "Hamrick's." She doesn't like to use the changing rooms so she just buys the items and then returns them if there is a fit problem. No problems, ever!
Their closest store to New England is in VA so I guess that is too far for you.
