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.)

Hi Fashion truth,
Firstly, I'd like to thank you for creating and doing a wonderful job on the comparison on similar items and giving a chance to others to express themselves. I'm not sure whether i should write this in to you,but I didnt know who else to tell this to.
Actually my frustration is with those online stores which suddenly decide to sell shoes too and do not really give accurate info. I am not sure whether they have really done their stud and homework on the art of selling shoes for example checking on the sizes and also the height fo heels, and giving the accurate answers to customers.
i've encountered more than 3 shops which have given me wrong informations which in the end I can't wear the shoes
The first shop (Shop A) gave me wrong info on the size as well as in the height of the heels. The size although not accurate was ok, as my feet could enter it but had slight crampped feeling. But the info on the heels part was not bearable as it was actually nearly 4.5 inches and what informed was 3.2 inches.Although its not much of a difference but for people who are already tall, it does matter.
Second shop(Shop B) also gave wrong info on heels height. But am flexibel when it comes to the heels part as somehow it can be tolerable. But the ultimate was when this particular shop (Shop C) confirmed to me that the particular size stated on its blog is exactly the vincci size tht i am wearing. The shoes sizing looked a bit different than the usual ones i have seen on other blogs, but assuming shoe sizes did vary I still decided to check with them. When emailed, they said it perfectly would fit..no worries and confirmed that those were the exact vincci sizes. But guess what? When the shoes finally arrived , my feet couldn't even enter them. The best part is, just an apology and they are done.All these shops try to compesante is by saying, we woud find a buyer for you...and that would never ever happen. I was so terribly dissapointed.
My question is how could these shops be so careless and have the don't care attitude when it comes to shoe sizing?
Clothes are fine as it can be altered or something can be done. But shoes? I truly hope that they would check 101 times before stating blindly and confirming 100% to the customers on the shoes being exact vincci or nose sizes. Vincci and nose sizes are same and consistent all the time or at least at most times. So don't come and tell us customers that our we are mistaken on our own shoe sizes and we have mistakenly given the size. Our feet coul not have grown overnight,rite?
That is why we double check and yet these shop owners claim positively that they follow the standard sizes.
Well, they don't!
In my opinion the blogs have sizes which come close to original vincci or nose sizes:- (Mezzanine, Clothesbucket, Oh Popsicles, Autumn Closet, ByBinnie, Kiss & Tell)
To shoe blog owners:
Please do some study first and don't let us down, We customers so look forward towards buying and wearing them shoes as we have gone through the hassle of checking, inquring and confirming with you the seller. And we have so much trust and confidence in you, and when it arrives all the hopes and trusts are dashed when we can't wear them. Its a waste of time and money.
Lastly, Thanks to FT and the blogs I mentioned above!
Renee - A Truly dissapointed shoe lover.

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!

i read ur post about wat reader 125 said. wanted to post a comment there but dint wana reveal my identity !
the blog still wana be 'environmental friendly' is MEZZANINE.
http://www.mezzaninetime.blogspot.com/

i canot believe that she really dint wana give plastic bags bcus wana help the earth go green. it is just not right. she jus wana save her cost . and expect us the customers to carry shoe boxes around. how awful is that gonna look like! man!
also, her prices are so expensive! compared to kiss and tell... and other shops... she for sure noe her price are way more expensive n theres price comparison. her mark up so much and her attitude of doing business is rude. sigh...

another thing i read is the charging customer for being 5mins late. same. if i were the customer i'd jus run away. and if she herself is late for 5mins, every 5mins will deduct RM 1. its so unfair. Rm 1 and Rm 5? 5times wei! i mean, everyone's clock is different so no one can be blamed.
the blog site is http://myclothesaffair.blogspot.com/ . i was stunned to read that !

saying

FOR COD LOCATIONS

A RM5 will be imposed on BUYER for every 5 MINUTES LATE BASIS!

A RM1 deduction on price of goods will be given for every 5mins late for delivery!

*Please cooperate with us as we do not want time to be delayed for both parties! thanks you!

alright. thats about it for now. thanks alot babe!

There's a similar pair selling at Oh, Popsicles! - selling at RM53
it's not entirely the same, do take note
(the colour and material)
also, please take note of the date these two items were posted up
but it seems like both of these sandals have the same brand
same shop, i supposed?

Mezzanine
RM53


from FT : an innocent error was made for this price substitutes. Kiss & Tell's heels are not the same as Mezzanine, (i'm not too sure about the one with Our Temptations) anyway, to rectify this matter, a new section has been created, and it is called Possible Substitutes

"i bought this pair of oxford from mezzanine and i feel cheated as it's priced at RM 82 where as jujuwiwitata's is selling at RM 70!
mezzanine posted this pair of heels on the 15th and jujuwiwitata's posted this on the 17th, both in the same month just 2 days different and yet the price gap is soo huge!"
