Dear Reader 131,
Granted I have never done business with the owner of Mezzanine, but in my humble opinion, I don't think that there is anything wrong with trying to save the environment. Sure, it could be that she is trying to cut costs as well, but at the same time, she is doing the environment a favour. That's killing two birds with one stone, ain't it?
There is nothing wrong if the seller is trying to maximise profit, because that's business. Every shopper should practice carrying their own shopping bags and refusing plastic bags, in my opinion. I myself have made it a habit to carry my own shopping bag around. As everybody should know, green is the new pink ;)
About charging customers who show up late after confirming the time and place for COD, I agree that RM5 for every 5 minutes late is way too harsh. But I can understand why she had to do it. Not all customers are courteous enough to show up on time. The sellers have a life to live too. I'm sure a majority of sellers are merely college students who are working on the sidelines to earn extra cash. That said, they are also bombarded with assignments, projects, exams and whatnot. You can't blame them for drawing the line when it comes to late customers. Customers don't have to run an entire online blog. My suggestion would be for the customers to arrive just 5 minutes earlier than the planned time. I don't need to point out that sellers must be punctual as well, right?
No offence was intended to any party, especially to Reader 131.
To Fashion Truth: I admire you for having the guts to run this blog where all of us, blogshop owners and customers, have freedom of speech. Keep it up!
