FROM FT :
so sorry but we should have made certain points clear right at the beginning. some of u readers may be clear of these stuff because u all have been reading the site from the very beginning. but for the "newbies", they probably don't know about it.

so here it is:

Price Comparisons.
well it may not be an appropriate 'name' to some. so, shall we change the title? we were thinking of changing it to "alternatives". just that.

and also, some readers may not know why prices differ so much. is it because the sellers just want to make a higher profit? or are there reasons behind it?
here goes : [have been widely discussed in the earlier stages of this blog]

prices may differ because :
1. some sellers wanna earn more, some sellers settle for less profits. some sellers just want to price their items lower than the popular blogs just to attract more customers.
2. sellers do get cheated by the suppliers. different suppliers charge differently.
3. some sellers hire models to model their clothings
4. some sellers do have an 'offline boutique'. offline boutiques are usually more expensive than online boutiques
5. occasionally, some sellers import their items from overseas, but they didn't know that their items can be bought locally at a much lower price.
6. some sellers MAY HAVE included COD charges & postage charges into their stated price.

[do email us at fashion.truth@gmail.com if we miss out any! ]


anyway,
for now...
the SITE IS UNDER 'CONSTRUCTION'. do bear with us for the time being. lol. not major construction, just wanna draft out a proper "header/intro" so new readers dont get the wrong idea.

sellers/buyers/readers, do email us and give us your feedback on what else we should add on this blog / this header-or-intro / anything to clarify. thank u very much

*wont be updating for the next 3 days. meanwhile, we urge readers to write in to us ya!

thanks!

e-shops that wants to be added into the blogroll, please send us an email at fashion.truth@gmail.com
would appreciate if u all could link us up too

price comparisons
1. only items which have a price difference of RM7/8 and above will be posted up.
2. the price used for this price comparison is the price stated on the e-shop's webpage. (i understand that sometimes prices for items may vary depending on customers. some e-shops just put a high price as to allow further bargaining by the customers.)

mailing list
we appreciate it if eshop owners remove us from their mailing list. we are not a fashion review site thus there's no need for us to receive mails from u all telling us that u've updated. just add us up and we'll link u up at the blogroll. with that, readers will know when u update.

thank u

Stories from Readers 21

Dear readers,

Looks like Fashion Truth has become a place for buyers to let out their anger, disappointment and dissatisfaction. Oh well, I would agree to have a platform for this, however, I do agree with Xash that things could be a little more neutral per say. I do not wish to side either the buyer nor the seller but I just want to share my experience. When I buy online, I know for sure that I run a risk of getting items that don't fit or items with poor quality. When I decide to take the risk, I will not blame anyone for sure, not even the sellers. That's probably because I know that things may turn out that way and sometimes pictures can't tell you enough. What I usually do is just not to buy from them anymore. Or if I ever come across something that I like from the same place another time, oh well, who knows, I may fall into the temptation again and buy again!! lol.. How stupid can us women get? hehe..

However, let me point out why we all prefer to do online shopping, though knowing the fact that we may get cheated or dissatisfied. Firstly, I think we love to shop!! Since shopping malls are closed at night and you stay at home feeling bored.. haha.. Let's surf the net.. Day and night you are looking at the blogshops and soon you will realised yourself buying from them.. You may or may not get very good experience from your first online shopping, but you soon find out that you are buying the 2nd, 3rd, 4th and you soon lost count of the number of times.. Well well.. I think we buy online because it is cheaper. Although some blogshops are pricing their items slightly higher than others, if you compare them with the shops out there, they are still cheaper(though it may not be true for some blogshops). I've once saw a satin dress in blogshops that are selling from RM44-RM55. Guess what? I saw the exact same dress in Sungei Wang selling for RM70. So, don't you think they are cheaper? Even if they price it at RM55, it is still cheaper than the shop in Sungei Wang. The reason why I point this out is because I think the sellers should not even price their items too low because the seller may spoil the market. I think there should be a balance between the price that online sellers charge and the boutique owner charge. Online sellers should not charge too expensive and neither should it be too cheap.. I kinda get annoyed when sellers sell their things cheap and claim that selling is their interest and they just make a very very small profit out of it. I don't think it's right to be honest.

I think I'm getting quite long winded here.. Anyways, I agree with some of you who mentioned that there should be a willing buyer and a willing seller. So why do you think you would buy from ZARA or MNG when they are so expensive? Don't you realise that their cost are very low too.. So, take things easily and just share it with others your experience but never ever destroy the blogshop owners.. I really pity them..
