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.

Seller 23

from Bibabot


Hi hun!
Just saw your latest Price Comparisons and I'd just like to clarify that because I am an avid online buyer and I know the actual wholesaler prices, I just add a few dollars to them because it hurtsss real bad when you find out that the garment you've just ordered online is a lot more than what the actual price was :( :( :( ! i mean no harm or negativity towards the sellers who adds a lil bit more to the prices because they just want to find a source of income.

i am not sure whether we have the identical pair but i bought this pair of leggings from another online boutique and they were ripped at the seams -_-

that's the reason why i started my own online boutique!
i try to sell the best quality and provide good customer service because i'd like to be treated the same way too!
i can't say why the prices vary so much but the shoppers have to shop smart! ;D

thks for you time ya!
have a good day! :)

P/S: i mean no harm or negativity to any other e-shop owners >< !

well to be fair, not all suppliers offer dirt cheap wholesale prices, some of them also try to rip sellers off as well.

one of our maxies was up in the price comparison list before, it shocked us as the other party's selling price iseven cheaper than our supplier's. so naturally we stop buying from that supplier anymore.

i'd think that most buyers also have an idea on how much is the reasonable price range for some items. Sometimes when i saw requests to buy some items at prices so unreasonably low, it makes me think:" if u can buy at that price, gimme the seller's contact bcoz it's sooo much cheaper than my supplier's!". Just my thoughts. Many sellers earn peanuts, especially those who are not the more popular ones ok?

mch.lle, haha thank you hun! :)

babe, i'm sure many of us have gone through that. i was ripped off as well, when i wanted to buy this particular garment from this stockist while another stockist was selling it at an even cheaper price. shocked, i was. i stopped buying from them.

i don't really know what to say but we just have to hunt for the best :)
