Hey there! Just an observation after reading almost all the posts on the site as i just discovered it [heh slow i know] :p But I must say this is amazing for the E-shopping community. Kudos to you for starting this blog!
My intention of mailing you [apart from showing my full support for you starting this site] is that i think its great that you compare prices and please do not stop doing so. To blog shop owners...I'm really sorry if its affecting your business but thats how it is in the business world. If we were to shop in a mall [say sungai wang] we would have the luxury to go from store to store and compare prices. Why should online shopping be any different?
BUT I would like to share my good and bad experiences.
When I first started out, I have to admit that it was my fault for not enquiring on the quality or type of material of the item. However I was quite disappointed when I received my second ever online purchase just to discover that the cotton was cheap rough material and one of the dresses i bought, the buttons fell off while I was wearing them for the first time as the buttons [a decorative] were just glued on using very cheap glue. When the item was washed, the rest of the buttons fell off leaving ugly glue stains. It being my 2nd purchase, I was too timid to say anything so unfortunately the dress is now stuck in the back of my cupboard. However I will not name the e-shop as i still shop from them and admittedly didn't give them any feedback as again... i was too timid and after reading this site did i feel compelled to tell her what happened but i'm afraid its too late to do anything about it. I just wanted to say that to ALL the new buyers out there, don't be timid to voice out any flaws you find with your purchase to the e-shop owner. It was a learning experience for me. However, the service was good hence the reason why I still buy from them. :p
THE GOOD SIDE.
I have become ridiculously addicted to online shopping and i MUST give props to stop.shop.and splurge. For good service and quality.
Also to Rockstar Chic. I regret not going to your first offline party.
Little miss Eggie. For being so nice about the COD and how you offered to exchange my friends shoes as well due to the size not being right. Love the shirt I bought from you.
And a few more that I've forgotten but will definitely recommend to my friends. I feel proud in myself for exposing online shopping to 2 friends [although i feel sorry for them if ever they get as addicted as i am now] :p heehee!
Just an enquiry. I have preloved/and rarely worn 2nd hand items that i'd like to sell. I don't see the need to open up a website of my own as i won't be selling so often. I was wondering if there is a site that would like to help sell my items for me. Photos and desicriptions are completed.. just need a place to sell. :(
Fashion truth. Thank you so much for this. :) Kudos once again.
P.S. I agree in the not needing to add snide remarks when comparing prices. That's like a double blow below the belt for blog shop owners. I know we live in an imperfect world but it'll be nice to play nice as we're all shoppers. Do unto others how you would like others to do unto you. ;) happy shopping!
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!
