[from FT : The one from Cat in a Bowl appears to be shorter than the others. maybe it's not a maxi? ]

A Golden Rose

"i found this blog which i think intends to sell really expensively, A GOLDEN ROSE!!!
She's selling almost all her stuff @ RM10 higher than other blogs are!
For example, the maxi in this price comparison, for RM65!!!"

i mean i'm a pretty reasonable fellow shopper, a difference of 7 or 8 bucks is by my point of view pretty decent as some e-shops have different prices to profit in mind and other factors; but a difference of RM17??! fuh! i have nothing against all the e-shops but the prices are so mean and when i get something more expensive and the cheaper e-shops upload them afterwards i just get pretty sad :( that's why i wrote in to let the other shoppers out there not suffer my pain :(

first off,
i would like to congratulate fashion truth for having the guts to put this up as
i noe tht she will for sure have gotten many rude n unfriendly emails from many eshop owners.
i have been an avid online shopper for many months now and i have some good experiences as well as some bad ones.

GOOD EXPERIENCES:
-from debutante avenue. i ordered a 2 high waisted skirt n she gave me an rm10 discount!
not onli that, the quality of the skirts were jus lovely! i was very very happy with wad i purchased. she even wore and took countless pics for me to make sure that measurements were wad i wanted!

-from ABLINC. i ordered the miu miu and vintage handbag from her n she gave me rm15 discount! n her service was lovely. she cod with me at 11pm at night because that was the only time that i could meet up with her. i had her waiting for 1 hour and when i finally arrived, she still gave me such a sweet smile and so i knew she wasnt mad with me.

-from Doublewoot. i have to say, this is reli one sweet patient gal! very prompt replies n deliveries! quality is no doubt good.

-from RAINBOWMALLOWS. joanne, i reli love ya! haha.. always sweet with her replies,
and she even reserve up till a month for me! very accomodating to all my enquiries! look forward to meeting u this sat babe!

-from A FITTING ROOM. this gal is always giving me discounts and letting me reserve till i can get the cash to pay her. LOVE YA BABE!!!

-KISS AND TELL. babe. ur service is very lovely! n i love ur stuff! ;p

so far, these are the few boutiques of which i am a regular customer of, n will continue to be.
however, there are a few that i have had bad experiences with.

BAD EXPERIENCES:

-CLOTHESBUCKET. i ordered from her, and the item which i received was not the right size and also, the color is not as seen in d pic. i even asked her whether it was of the same color,
and she said yes. not onli that, she may be all honey here and there, but she likes to rush the cods. if i said i want it next week, she would try to push it up earlier! wad kinda service is that?
and if i said i wanna meet at one place, she would say to meet at another place which i s quite far from the intended place. SERVICE MY ASS.

-SWEET INNOCENCE. i am very disappointed with this blog's service.
the item which i bought from them was not onli of super lousy quality, the color was also very faded. n this was not how they described the item in their blog. they even put their reputation on the line for this piece in their blog! well to me, their reputation is down the drain!

needless to say, i will definately never shop with these 2 blogs again.

From a reader...

-------------------------------------------

i was super SHOCKED when i saw that ABLINC was selling the satin tube dress for RM55 only!!!!
cos my gf bought the EXACT same dress for RM79 in NINTH HAVENS!!!!
http://www.ablinc.blogspot.com/

http://www.ninthhavens.blogspot.com/

i am very disappointed that some blogs reli enjoy cutting our throats.
there is simply NO WAY that there could be such a HUGE difference in cost price between these 2 blogs.
i will never allow my gf to buy from ninth havens ever again.
this should be a lesson to all u eshops esp RAINBOWMALLOWS, CLOSETTE n BUNNY NOO n PUMPKIN
who are all selling at ridiculous prices.
DONT BE SO GREEDY.

thank u, FASHION TRUTH.
