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.)

Sensual Seductionz - RM39 (before sale), RM32 (sale price)
Oh, Popsicles! = RM50

I am a frequent e-boutiques's online buyer and more often than not, I would come across exact clothes with 2 different prices.

And today, while I was again browsing through some boutiques, I come across two exactly same clothes. one top and a dress. I don't mean to made harsh comments on this particular e-boutique, it is just coincidence.

Anyway, back to the point, both the clothes are so overly priced at OH-POPSICLES as compared to SENSUALSEDUCTIONZ. Besides, SENSUALSEDUCTIONZ posted up the top much earlier but, still, they are selling them at a much lower price. I've read in one of the previous post down here that supplier would sell items at cheaper price when those items are no longer 'new arrival'. How does this justify this situation here? overly-expensive Oh-Popsicles??

There are also some e-boutiques which I felt are somewhat overpriced such as, tic-tac-toe, daintydresses & rainbowmallows to name a few. They might somehow be more well-known as to those new e-boutiques but this does and will not justify the fact of them selling clothes at much higher price, what more, if its of the same quality, exact material .

Pictures do paint a thousand words and obviously it can tell a thousand lies. No doubt popularity will put u way up and ahead. But if u said that its unethical for those 'unpopular' e-blogs to gain benefit from these lower pricing, dont forget that they do suffer comparative losses from those lower pricing as well. if that's the case, I can also say that it is unethical to misused the fact of being popular to charge much extra when on the fact, its expressly written (on most e-blogs) that they hv the best quality and best pricing.

Being that the case, its just like telling a big fat lie. How ethical could that be? . Maybe i shoud reiterate my previous email, my point of saying that there's no justification for popular e-blogs to sell at higher price might have been phrased wrongly and, therefore, understood wrongly. My bad. What I do actually meant is that, in what way the situation put them to sell at higher prices? Obviously, popularity again put them on the stand. But again, if others would knew that there's this other e-blogs selling the same clothes at the same prices, I doubt those popular ones would hv any better biz and hence, the so-called popularity.

Still, I do understand all this is totally of no relevance as this is totaly biz we are talking bout here. Either u win or u lose. Its all subject to the customers and buyers to evaluate and decide themselves and again, there's no room for reasonableness here. If you like it, u buy them, if not, just dont and look for another cheaper ones.


[*edit : there is a slight differences between the two pieces. Sensual Seductions' piece is long sleeves, but oh popsicle's sleeves are only 3-quarter. plus, there is a slight difference at the collar area too! sorry!]

Hi there,

This is a totally different piece :) You might mistake them of the same because of the material. Please take note at the collar (ours doesn't even have a collar to be exact), the side slit of the top and the sleeves (ours is only 3/4 sleeve when rolled down). We would appreciate proper justification before making blatant comparisons. Thanks a lot :)
