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 34

Dear Fashion Truth,

I'd like to congratulate you for coming up with the concept behind Fashion Truth and I honestly think it is a great idea! Keep the effort going even though certain people might put you down for now.

From MY two different perspectives:

As a blogshop owner:

  • I want to get back my cost price at least, if not profit.
  • Does business based on TRUST
  • Price my items at a price that I myself would buy
  • Makes me happy when the buyer is satisfied with the item.
And because of these reasons I do not mind (or should I say, all shop owners would not mind) all the hassle in bringing the clothes in, advertising, COD-ing and whatnot.
It isn't easy but hey, nothing is easy.

As an online shopper:

  • Hopes to purchase quality goods at a good price
  • Expect good customer service
  • Discounts if possible :D
So far, I've had relatively good experiences with my buyers and hopefully never to have any major bad experiences :)

Just one point I would like to make here to the buyers: Could you reply e-mails or text messages even though you do not want the item anymore? As in even though you were just inquiring, I would prefer if you make an effort to at least tell me you aren't interested anymore.

This is because (I don't know is it just me or what) I sort of reserve the item for you just in case it is non-restockable and you might want it.
So if anyone asks about it I would try sending another e-mail but no response from the inquirer.
24 hours after the e-mail, I would let it go.

Is this something I should do or not?
