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!

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.)

Reader 89

Hey der fashion truth!!

i just found out bout your blogsite and i just wanna share my FIRST ever BAD SHOCKING EXPERIENCE with a blog owner dat maybe is suffering from anger management/attitude problem

i`ve been shopping online for quite some time lately.. prolly for bout a year and i`ve bought plenty of nice stuff from most blogs..and i`ve never encountered any overly bad/mean sellers but however i got UNLUCKIE few weeks ago..

my first good shopping experience was at A fashion Obsession e-shop..
i bought a cardigan from her and i notice der wer holes in the cardigan so i took pics of it as evidence and emailed it to her straightaway and she was reali nice enough to exchange a new one for me and she even paid for the postage charges..which i am very thankful of her to do so..thanks ria!! =]
and der were other e-shops too dat were nice and helpfull as well..like rainbowmallows, vibrant swirls, tic tac toe and mezzanine of course.

and because of that situation dat i`ve encounter like as stated above..

i`ve alwayz reminded the seller to please check the condition of the clothes before sending out to me yea..
and i`ve always asked many questions regarding the product before i purchase it to avoid any disapointments in the end..
i mean this to decrease the amount of troublesome-ness incase der is any defects caused by their suppliers..

now for my shocking bad experience..
this is the first time i actuali got so angry at this e-shop owner.. her blogsite is victoriasecretlover.blogspot.com

i was happie i saw her blogsite so i quickly emailed her and asked her whether she could get a specific VS supermodel bag for me as dis is a last minute shopping and she said she can..i even thanked her alot for dat..
well bout the high price she charges, i couldnt be bothered bout it as i reali needed to purchase de bag asap for my sisters bday..so she said she could get it for me in less den 1 weeks time just before my sisters bday..u cant imagine how happie i was when she said dat..i even banked in the half amount deposit immediately too

and of course as an online buyer, i myself had to ask many questions before i purchase the bag from her as dat bag was quite expensive..and i wanted it to be perfect as its a bday present..
i mean i cant be paying at such a high price for a bag dat has defects and giving it to my sister?? well i definitely dont wanna dissapoint my lovely sister wouldnt i??

since im new to her shop and unsure of her shop as dey are NO REVIEWS or such chatbox or anyting der..

i asked her questions like is the vs bag guranteed authentic?? and the measurements of the bag and the estimated date of the arrival of the bag??


i waited for the arrival of the bag until friday and i dropped her an sms bout the arrival of the bag and she said yes it has arrived..so i was excited cause my sisters bday was just the following friday as i needed to leave sumwhere outstation on wednesday.. so getting the bag by monday is just nice timing for me..she said she was going to deliver it to me on monday..

therefore i also kindly requested her to check the conditions of the bag before sendin it out to me as in no scratches/damages JUST IN CASE (caused it might be flewn in from her US supplier or whatever)..

i only requested for dis as i dont wanna be careless rushing just to purchase dis bag and end up getting a damaged bag..but i didnt mean it in a bad way.. i didnt mean to make it sound like she is selling bad damaged un-authentic stuffs..

i was just being a careful online shopper.. i mean since when asking questions bout the product was not allowed at any blog-shops?? im sure itz normal dat alot of online buyers seems to ask some questions bout the product..and by not meaning the e-shop owners sells damage stuffs..

so the vs owner tat i purchased my bag from, got angry at me
and replied my sms saying:
The bag has scratches all over. Give me your account number and i refund to u now.


-what????just caused i asked her to check the conditions of the bag b4 sending to me..=.=''

so obviously i got mad and practically furious as i only had a few days left till my sisters bday and how in the world am i going to replace another vs bag in a few days time???

i replied her asking why is it she tell me dis last minute and if i didnt asked she wouldnt have told me bout the damages?? and i saw der was another same vs bag in stock at her website..so i guess she bought 2 along with my order..so i requested her can she replace dat new in stock bag with the damaged one??

she replied saying:
its already reserved by sumone else..

so i said i have the right to take that other one first since i deposited half the amount SO MUCH MORE EARLIER for my orders and she should give me the privilege to exchange to dat bag since the other one is damaged..

she replied saying :
I sell to whoever i want to and sell to and will not tolerate with customer like you


- u cant imagine how mad i was after reading her RUDE REPLIES.. i was even typing on my handphone replying her like the buttons was bout to come off the keypad

she also replied dis:
You treated me like im selling fakes!! and you thinks that i will cheat on my customers!! this is too much.


-so maybe she didnt like dat i asked her too many questions?? =.=''

so i apologised to her saying sorrie i asked her so many questions and sorry if i have offended her in a way and i didnt mean to make it sound like she is selling fakes or whatsoever..i was just trying to get the perfect present for my sister

she RUDELY REPLIED dis:
If you really to make sure what u buy is perfect then dont buy online. If u dont trust the seller dont buy.its simple as dat. in this case, you dont trust me and keep asking all those questions like i want to cheat on you. I`ve been selling alot of other stuffs that is more expensive that dis bag. i never got this all sort of question. Im dont explaining. give me your bank account.


-what the?? just caused i asked some question regarding the bag, she got all angry and stuffs..its not dat i dont trust her, i mean im trying to shop safely and properly since i noe der are some other blogshops out der dat seems to cheats ppls money and run away..so i dont wanna get myself ripped off in the end...
fyi i reali couldnt not care that you have sold other way more expensive stuffs to other ppl.. its still my hard earn cash so i would like to receive a nice looking perfect condition bag..
why would i wanna pay so much for a bag dat has scratches and looks like a second hand bag??

so i controlled my emotions and again i replied to her saying sorry to her nicely because i reali needed dis bag for my sisters bday in less den 5 days time..
so she could calm down and i even told her maybe dis was a misunderstanding between me and her..
well i expected a forgiveness but in the end..

she replied dis to me:
Can you please let me enjoy my weekend. i will talk to u again on monday.

-OMG.. okay dis has gone way over the limit for me.. i was so nice apologising for all dis misunderstandings.. and she replied like a bossy rude unpolite woman..


i am definitely sick of her and 100% done with her seriously BAD attitude as a seller, i give her a rating of 0/10 for her customer service..she wasted all my time waiting for the bag..
maybe der are other customers out der who thinks she provides the best service but well.. why not try being in my position instead =.=''


thank the good lord, i amazingly unexpectedly found another VS seller dat could get the bag for me even at a way cheaper half price den the old one and she was nice enough to reply all my questions..she didnt get overly mad like the other seller =.=

sorry to say dat she reali has attitude problem.. fyi dis is the first time i posted my experience with a seller like dis ever..prolly just to shocked to deal with such seller like her..

oh and i just had to say that the vs gift bags she sells are overpriced.. especially the vs wrislets..those wristlets actually comes along free with the gift bag.. she sells dem separated at higher prices..
so imagine tat.. your paying double the price for a free item dat your supposed to get along with the gift bag.

warning to shoppers out der dat wants to purchase anyting from her : dont ask more den 3 or 4 questions or she`ll get angry and start dissing you like your in fault.

sorry for the extremely long post!! >.<''!!!

(btw sorry if any of my words offended any other sellers out der yea..except HER of course)

xoxo
