Shop through the small window


Heyys all, so I was saying that I’m sharing some of my experience when shopping online.
So here’s one post on it…… ^^

There is a significant increase in number of people who shop online every day since people are so busy nowadays. Busy as in you work or you study and that’s basically more than half of your day GONE! ): The only time you shop would probably when you are waiting for your transport, pathetic mins of lunch break or before you went to bed.
Then some of you will say “I shop during my off days….” The thing is that will you really go out and shop during your off day??? For me, MAYBE but a high chance that I won’t since I will have this mindset that I finally have a day off so I just want to slack and rot at home. That’s for my case! Of course you may have a different thinking (:

I find it easier when you shop online at any time and the items will get deliver to your door step. However, when there is pros, there will always be cons. That’s what you called “Nothing is perfect” LOL~

Okay I shall cut the crap and these are some stuffs I got from Esther ^^v

 

 
 x Retro phone set
x Floral batwing top
x Craftholic pencil case *Earring + Ring as freebies*
x Prizes from her giveaway
The items are purchase during different months in 2013 instead of all at one go. FYI, the above two sellers are selling their items at quite an affordable price BUT…..BUT the size for their clothes is mostly in small size so I don’t really buy them )’: Good for those petite people, you should be able to bring some loots home (:

AND of course I do have some sellers who marked their item at steep price but they do have unique items. I call this the 一分钱一分货 category!!!!
I’m not saying that Elaine and Esther are selling low quality stuffs but they are more towards the CLEARANCE + AFFORDABLE category and actually my shop is more like them. I mean who doesn’t have impulse buys or gifts from others that doesn’t fits you so why keep them? Might as well resell them for cash or trades for something that suits you! Isn’t that better? :D

Back to the一分钱一分货 category, recently I found this seller selling mostly Harajuku style stuffs! Honestly speaking, I REALLYYY LOVEEEE THEIR ITEMS ALOTTTTTTTT!!!!!!!!!!!.......... >,<
WAHAHAHAHAHA~
 
For this harajuku style shop, I have yet to buy anything from them so I can’t really give any review. Like I have said, their price is steep and all harajuku style so definitely not for office job therefore you have to think carefully before you buy!~

On the other hand, there is this particular blogshop which I know is gradually increasing their price with their choice of items getting lesser and lesser. Worst still, the price is based on their impression of people! I know the choice of items can’t be help since no point opening the spree when no one is buying.
HOWEVER, I can’t tolerate those who price their item based on impression and thankfully in one event I got to know how this particular blogshop operate. From that day onwards, I would rather pay more to buy from others even though this blogshop might be selling at a cheaper rate.
 
Can you imagine how I feel when I learned about it? So all the while I have been a “菜头让你砍”? Yes I understand that its both willing parties when it comes to trade but its really 纳闷 when you learnt about it, trust me!

(I won’t mention any names but if you are smart enough then you should know who you are!)
As you know I hardly spend on clothes recently with all my money going to manga and eventually to KPOP stuffs. Can’t imagine I’m spending on idol stuffs after so long….. But the money spend on KPOP was well spend as majority was on their endorsement products such as facial wash, mask, hand cream, nail polish etc…. At least now I spend on useable products instead of albums, poster all those like I used to be in the past! :/

So I order an item from this person on an instashop. Initially, I thought the item will reach me quite fast as its an instock and the seller didn’t say that she needs more time in mailing etc.
However, she just proved me WRONG!

I transfer on 12/1/14 and text her regarding the payment details. After payment, all I received from her was “Okay thank you & Give me your name and address…” after which no replies even though I asked her when she is mailing out the item so that I can take note. 2 days later, I asked her again and her reply was “mailing out later if possible”. So I waited and again no reply or video proof!
On the 16/1/14 I asked her again if she was still selling the hand cream as some seller can be quite fickle minded after payment is in. I mean I don’t understand why are they putting up their items for sale when they prefer the item more than the money -,-

Her reply was “Yes no worries”

“I have a lot of mails to mail”

“I hope you understand that I’m working alone”

“I have school so its hard for me to keep mailing everyday especially when the mails is big and I have to go to the post office”

(Eventually she still passed me the video proof)

I understand that its hard to run a blogshop alone as I’m also a solo blogshop owner but please take the initiative to inform your buyer that you needs more time to mail the items. Same goes for buyer who needs more time to make payment. Seriously, I have absolutely nothing to comment and wouldn’t have rush you if you had inform me beforehand. I believe those who rushed you have the same thinking as me.
(DON’T TELL ME YOU ARE NOT GOING TO MAKE NOISE WHEN YOUR BUYER DRAGS PAYMENT AND THEY KEPT QUIET ABOUT IT!!!)
 
Or how would you feel if you are the buyer and the item you purchase is an instock (supposed to reach you faster than preorder) but the seller mailed it out after close to a week as if it’s a preorder goods? To make things worse, you have to rush them then they mailed out. If I didn’t rush them, I wouldn’t even want to think of the waiting time -,-
 
And now you have the cheek to complain that everyone is rushing + asking you when you are going to mail the item!!! If you have informed everyone that you are busy and needs more time in the first place wouldn’t it make things easier for everyone?! In the end, what have you gain from? I can tell you NOTHING but unpleasant shopping experience! ~~~ Like seriously!

Sometimes online shopping can really makes your blood boils. *No joke about this!*

& that’s all for this post, will share more experience when I have the time (:

Right now, I’m still waiting patiently for my handcream to reach me! Kind of excited to know which photocard, standee and flavors I got as they are all by random ^^

P.S Go google it if you want to know what I talking about~
