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!

blogroll
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 30

Hi There Fashion truth,

they (A Shopaholics Den, Diaryofane-shopaholic, My Basic Fashion Folder) do feature stories from buyers and sellers on their dissastisfaction and frustration. Fashionably Addicted seems more like a site where the site owner publishes whatever clothes she likes, just my two cents. But none of them go until doing price comparisons though.

That's where your blog comes in to be the center focus on price comparisons, online purchase horror stories and yet also giving credit to good shops who actually make an effort to serve customers well. I believe that a good shopping experience do not consist on getting the best deals alone, although that will really give the buyer a satisfaction by able to do that, haha. It also boils down to good rapport between seller and buyer, going the extra mile to provide a good service, finding out whether the seller has a bad deal history before, this is what business is all about, the whole package!

Reviewing and comparing prices is normal for everyone, but if a buyer who do not did a good homework on comparing before buying, and thus get a higher price, the blame should not go to anyone, not even the seller, because whether you want to buy or not to buy something is totally up to you. The unfortunate buyer can make a note that this seller like to sell higher and be aware next time. Well I think informing others about it is ok, particularly friends, which I can understand the feeling afterall, and it's a freedom of speech. But then, this is the internet afterall, personally I'd like to maintain a clear head before buying anything. Sometimes stories might not be entirely true, even on both seller and customer side, because we cannot verify the source somehow. But I am thankful that all these bad stories do make me think twice of buying from a shop, because at least I am sure the price comparison part is authentic, it's like becoming a personal guide to me already :)

Lastly, syabas for doing a good job on enlightening customers, especially on this regression period. Spending money wisely is the major focus now, what with all the prices rising and stuff. Maybe someone should do a prices comparison blog on food and public transportation as well, especially the buses in PUDU! Really a ripoff and the services are really just so-so. Sorry that I'm off topic a bit for this. I definitely do not want to offend anyone, I'm just voicing out my comments.
