what a discovery!: Reader 136

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!

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.)

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.

Reader 136

Hi FT,

Just want to share some of my thoughts regarding the plastic bag and lateness charges.

I believe everyone does shopping and does have/keep some plastic bags or paper bags, why don't we just utilize these?? It’s reusable!! I'm sure buyers will not being particular that this is a paper/plastic bag of some shop/reused and feel bad about it and it will not cost seller a penny. This is a way to go green too.

I'm not trying to pin point anyone. Sellers can prepare a used/some other brand's plastic/paper in case the buyer needs it or in another hand, buyers can prepare own go green bag to receive goods and reject plastic bags that are provided by sellers.

Regarding the lateness issue, I think charging RM5 for 5 minutes lateness ias not that suitable. Maybe in about 15 minute’s time?? I know both party should be on time but then we can be a bit linen, what if the buyer is late know there is a charge and decided not to turn up?? It will be a total loss for the seller and it will end up both parties get nothing.

I believe shop owner is reasonable if any of these happens, there will sure be space of negotiation if there is really an unforeseen circumstances but putting in that way might just scare away some potential buyers and feel pressure on that.

Just my thoughts ya.
