Might as well put up a sign 'Sent out goods are not our responsible if damaged. Sellers are humans too, make mistakes but it is the supplier who sent us these items in such condition'. Aren't suppliers also humans then? So who to blame after that? Like that ah, no need to sell anythingla. <br /><br />Its sellers responsibility what goes out to customers isn't it? What? Are we suppose to live with sellers 'tidak apa' attitude to their items they obiously don't care enough about and simply sell it?<br /><br />There is a reason a place like FOS, Reject shop and Brands Outlets are out there. So why not sell your rejected items in a dedicated 'rejected' blogshop then rather than making customers live with something they obviously didn't ask for. Or give it to charityla. Do more good also.<br /><br />The thread issue, that one depends on who you send it to, not all are that fussy lah. Some trim on their own like I did, but I agree w Anon above, trim it tp avoid further dispute. How you treat your items will go a long way. Treat it well and customers will not complain so much. It's all about karma baby. You don't give a damn about your items, your customers will come chase you la.<br /><br />Simple deduction.<br /><br />Why sale items are not refundable in retail shop is because customers are ABLE to check the condition of the item. How do you suppose can you impose such law upon your buyers who trust the sellers to check for them only to find out the items are damaged?<br /><br />Of coursela they'll get pissed when the item they buy is stretched/stained/smelled/damaged/torn when seller should be the one to let them know if its not in perfect condition. <br /><br />Want to have rules and regulations, t&c but always forget the loopholes :/<br /><br />I'm aware that some customers 'lie' about the damages, therefore get them<br />to take pictures an post it back to you and then further discuss about<br />it however both sides feel is best to solve it. It takes a lot of maturity, strength and confidence in your own products when selling it to customers. <br /><br />Check and check again. Most customers will understand if you let them know before hand and deal with it fairly. Everyone wants their share of the cake right?<br /><br />Anon4Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5203144043042496603.post-32431591604863352592010-03-29T13:46:05.997+08:002010-03-29T13:46:05.997+08:00alternatively you can check the items before sendi...alternatively you can check the items before sending out la and always be honest with the buyer then they won't give you so much shit.

That's why you pay for more than half price compare to retails.<br /><br />For retails, they either asked their manufacturer to make sure is in good condition before shipped out, or when they get the goods here, they'll hire mostly middle-aged citizen to cut off the excess threads.<br /><br />retails item is being trimmed that's why they can sell at a super high price<br />while online stuff is practically raw - direct from factory, and not trimmed nicely, that's why they can sell cheapAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5203144043042496603.post-84352305165977730452010-03-29T11:16:09.853+08:002010-03-29T11:16:09.853+08:00what if is the item can't be exchanged as ther...what if is the item can't be exchanged as there isn't any more stock? and the other stuff in the blog doesn't appeal to u?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5203144043042496603.post-25939795528199779592010-03-29T08:57:20.373+08:002010-03-29T08:57:20.373+08:00If seller is the buyer, wouldn't you as a buye...If seller is the buyer, wouldn't you as a buyer want an item that is in good condition? I'm sure you do too and would find ways to either exchange it for a good one from the damaged piece or exchange with something of the same value. Any buyer would want to make their money's worth, so do you as a buyer. <br /><br />Say if you have bought a top from Zara and they have no refund whatsoever but if you bring the top that was damaged to them, they will get you a new piece or otherwise other alternative. Just because sellers have such policy means die die follow 100%, then make time to check every piece you're selling. So things like this don't happen again. <br /><br />So one can be meticulous about something one gets from an outlet out there but have to live with the damages from blogshops?

But most buyers would think that we sellers should compensate EVERYTHING when they receive a bad conditioned item :(<br /><br />Sigh, we had a hard time dealing with customers like that too. But its a must for us to treat our customers with a smile. Oh well.<br /><br />I particularly dislike those who sends an email scolding us. If I receive a bad condition item, I would ask them about it politely. That way they would also think of the best way to solve the problem right? Why can't customers say it in a nicer and happier way? Then we as sellers would also feel happier to solve the matter. :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
