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 36

First of all, thumbs up for your blog. It really is an eye opener for us, buyers. I've had my experiences with sellers whom I thought are genuinely good and that they are selling their items at reasonable prices until I found out other blogshops were selling the same items at MUCH LOWER prices :(

I used to love tictactoe28, but not anymore when I found out what a ___ they are. They wouldn't even allow a discount of RM3-5, claiming that it was hard work to look for the bags. But guess what? clothesforfun brought in the same bag and selling them at RM15 LESS than the price of tictactoe. Doesn't clothesforfun need to hunt for the bags too? Is it not hard work for her too? *roll eyes* You can imagine how much tictactoe is ripping us off.

RM85 (tictactoe): http://tictactoe28.blogspot.com/2008/08/in-love-with-bags.html
RM70 (clothesforfun): http://clothesforfun.blogspot.com/2008/09/quilt-essential-fashionista.html

There are also a few boutiques which are selling this same dress. But I forgot the other boutiques' name. I particularly remember this eshop because she is selling the dress at a very low price, and quality looks good, just the same as the other blogshops. I saw one boutique (long time ago) which sold this dress at RM55 O.O
RM29 (atenderwhisper): http://atenderwhisper.blogspot.com/2008/09/autumn-leaves.html

Apparently atenderwhisper is a sister blog of crazysundaycloset, and I must say they are really friendly. She actually help me kept a dress for almost a month, until I got my pay *blush*

I also love daintydresser and dressinglab, but I don't buy from them anymore seeing that they have raised their prices so much now that they are doing well. They offered better price last time *sigh*

Princessboutique
? One word. NOT POLITE at all.

Rainbowmallows? I think she's actually quite a nice girl.

Attires'
attic
: I am disappointed with her as she did not give a correct description and measurement to me. She claimed the model to be tall, hence the dress look short. but will definitely be longer on me (after I gave her my height measurement). But guess what? When I tried it on, I can see my butt peeping out. Instead of wearing it as a dress, I can only wear it as a top now.

Cottoncandy: I bought a pair of shoes from her and I met up with her friend to pass me the shoes. The shoes have a defect and she claimed there was none when she checked. it was so obvious >/ If it was by postage, I can understand if she blame it on delivery damage. But I COD with her friend. How can she explain that?

ancient orchids: She was actually a very nice person to deal with until lately when I found that she can be rude. I guess her business is picking up so she doesn't have to really be nice to her customers anymore. I bought A LOT of srazy Sunday Closet, Dainty Dresser, Dressing Lab, Princess Boutique, Rainbowmallows, Dressing Attic, Cotton Candy, Ancient Orchid stuffs from her and there was one time when I asked for free postage (seeing that I've bought so many items previously). And she replied back rudely and I was so disappointed, though in the end she agreed to give me free pos express postage.

There are a few more which I have had my fair share of experience, be they good or bad. One word of advice for those whose business is picking up: we, customers, do notice the huge jump of prices. so please don't think of us as stupid that you can rip us off once you finally have a loyal fan base. coz sooner or later you will lose your fan base when they find another blogshop offering them better prices :)

*signing off*

hey wow i just came back from trip and saw this post about me! lol

anyway dear reader 36, im sorry that i might sounded impolite to you (not sure its via email/cod ) but sometimes my schedule seems to be hectic (a pharmacy student )and i will tend to reply short and brief =(

and sometimes when COD i might not be as good as im the kind which takes some time to adapt ..hehe!I do realise some sellers are very good at public relation and i will strive to achieve that !

definitely a constructive feedback to help princessbou improve ,we are all new and still learning, thanks a lot =))
