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 49

i am a pretty new online shopper and i must say im satisfied with my new finds online, some of it are really awesome! but i had a few bad experiences the first time where i excitedly purchased a dress without enquiring about the height. alas it was a minidress and it barely covered my butt as the model was so petite. that wasted my money but i had no choice so i took it as a lesson.

from thereon i became more careful and started to browse more shops. most owners are very friendly such as french kiss, kiss and tell (very nice!), our mutual passion, tastycherrychapstick, and the closette etc.

however, i want to comment that the closette's prices are sometimes too high >.< i noticed that this satin dress from the closette

http://theclosettesold.blogspot.com/2008/10/satin-print-dress.html

is the same as the one from Ministry of Clothes. the difference? a whole hefty rm20 price difference.
also, the button side shorts from closette is rm11 more expensive than michatoo boutique.

however, i just wanted to draw attention to the price difference. i have no complaints about the closette's personality, she's a very nice person so i do not want to offend. thankss!

Hie!:)
Thanks for the comment :)

Just thought I'd let you know, that I uploaded the satin dress picture in August, and followed the 'then' market rate of that particular dress other blogshops charged.

As for Ministy of Clothes, she just uploaded the item few days ago, so she might have gotten the OLD STOCK at a cheaper price, or at other suppliers. :)

Thats more than 2 months apart :)

Sometimes, I think it would only be fair to judge the price if the items are out at the SAME time :)
For instance, if Blog A sells a top for RM10 and is selling well, Blog B so happens to have the top, but havent updated the site... I am pretty sure Blog B will most prob charge it at a lower price...

then u cannot really blame Blog A, no?

The example above is a general example...hehe not refering to my situation :)

Anyways, thanks for the compliment :) Thats really sweet of u :)
