RipBook

Am I the only one sick of blogshops stealing pictures from Lookbook ?

Dragging in the world

I'm a buyer but you know what i find MOST UNETHICAL?

If the seller is a shitty seller who cheats you sends out your parcels late and also is unfriendly.

Complain about her! its totally fine.
Spam her cbox complaim about her to reviewers, heck write it on their cboxs and let ppl know about how much she sucks.

But cmon, cut her some slack and leave out the part about her relationships,her parents,her work?!

I mean business is business.bad service is bad service but personal lifes should be kept personal.

She may be horrible but digging out personal details about her is equally as bad or worse even.

Calling Sharp Eyes

Hey girls out there , need your help, is this a neat cut purposely cut by the buyer ? or do you think this one was damaged during pos laju delivery?

Check the photo here.. Thanks lots!!!

Shit Stirrer

It's so annoying when people complain about prices, but even more so when they complain just for the sake of complaining.

There was one time this facebook shop was selling original crocs accesories (jibbitz i think they're called ?) for RM3.50, got free 1 some more if buy 3..so quite cheap right ? Then this one girl commented, complained that it was expensive and that she can buy at the roadside for RM1, so the buyer said that those are fake, the ones she's selling is original.

The girl then said that it's all the same, so this other person commented and said that the original lasted longer and had better quality.

The complainer said, no, all the same. So this other girl said "Then buy la the RM1 one and you know what the complainer says ? "Takpelah". She doesn't even want that thing and yet she's complaining about it! Like what the!!

I speak Engrish

Just for laughs. Seen in an online site selling designer bags in Singapore –

“Chanel lambskin vintage correction in medium(10")WGH-price reduced S$1990 firmed! “

Hmmm, 'correction'? Blur, what does she mean by 'correction'? read on, copied exact word for word -

“Hi I am selling my 100% Authentic Chanel flap lambskin vintage correction medium size with gold hardware, only comes with dust bag. Sorry i misplaced all the card and i really do not know where i keep it since i sifted to new place and due to i have too many bags that is y a bit messy but i guarantee 100% authentic. This is 1 of my own correction and…..”

Ok I get it now….Seller actually meant ‘Collection’..lol

Rusty Junk

I recently purchased a AX bracelet from a preloved blog..
Too good to be true,it costs only RM35..
The seller claimed that it is brand new..
I trusted her and bought the bracelet..
Gosh..upon receiving.there are obvious scratches all over and the bracelet kinda rust and oxidised.
How can the seller claimed that is brand new?!
I msg her explaining the prob and requested for a full refund yet she was being very rude replying me that the colour is actually like that etc...And its brand new..
Come'on..do u think I'm blind/a kid to see that the bracelet is used?
The seller was also being very rude in her msg..saying that she will not refund and its up to me to fail a complain to all reviewers..
I will definitely blacklist this blogshop for the rest of my life..
This is a rotten seller..dishonesty in selling her items.
Those who wants her blogshop name..kindly email me:
babezane@gmail.com
Thx!

My top 5 peeve

5 things that make me sigh in frustration.(aaaaghhhh)


1. When the cod spots are right at the top of my page and i get emsails saying "cod where?"
(right in the middle and the first thing you see on my site.i thought that it might be because they couldnt see it on the sidebar so i moved it right below the header, guess that isnt the case)

2. when they say i wanna COD in ************ when i've stated on the site ( the one below my header) that i do not do cods there.

3. when the items that are sold out are marked SOLD OUT(bold and capitalized) and they order it and even say "discount can?"

4. when i get an sms about a cod and i tell them that i am not free on that day and they ask me what my entire days schedule is like.calling and emailing me throughout the day.
(ACTUAL CONVO)

b: hi girl can we make the cod today instead of tomorrow?
s : sorry dear, im busy today. :( so i'll just meet you tomorow wil you still be free?
b : what time you free today?
s: sorry, but im not in kl at the moment wil be leaving later tonight so will still be able to see you tomorrow :)
b: ok what time you come back tonight?
s: sorry but im in seremban now and will only be back pretty late
b: ok what time?
s: maybe 1am?
b: cannot earlier?
s : no sorry but im here for a function. *exhales
b : ok see you tomorrow

- so redundant when she could meet me the next day -

5. sometimes people have different names on their emails than their real names.and they send in an 2 emails (maybe theyre too excited) ordering something with their email ad.and another order form with a different name??this one is rather confusing esp when a few people order the same items.

Oh wise ones needed #9

This is more of a question really, because I can't seem to find the answers by Googling it. Heheh.

If a seller says that the items are not of pre-order nature, does it automatically mean that the items are ready stock? I thought it does, so please correct me if I am wrong because I'd really like to know so I can avoid the items which are "not pre-order but not ready stock either" in the future.

My case is that I don't usually buy the items if I know they have to be pre-ordered. So I have asked the seller first and she said "No, it is not a pre-order". So then I continued to purchase the items which was on Thursday last week. Since I thought they were ready stock, I estimated I should be receiving the items within this week. But then again, that was under the impression that the stocks were on hand.

So I did give her a message on Monday, asking whether she has posted out my items. She replied that I should be receiving them within NEXT week. When I mentioned that I thought it was quite longer than I expected, she replied that it was because the items are not ready stock. Hence my question earlier.

Can anyone help me? :D

More Woofs

So if there's one thing I really can't stand, is INSENSITIVITY. I'm sorry, but I do not appreciate seeing your dogs pictured amongst your stock. I really don't. And I'm pretty sure this is not the first time, the infamous seller has done it again..

There's also a famous shop in Bangsar that lets her dog run amok in her shop going through all the maxi dresses that happens to be touching the grounds. Umm, hello? It's not nice okay sellers. Even if it were a cat, I still would not appreciate it, let alone bigger animals like dogs.

Updates #9 ~ Who are you to tell me a bout effiency? - AUTHOR

I'm not going to explain any further as this is just blown way out of proportion, and honestly, is a waste of time.
The reason why i posted the story, was cos of ranting.
I wanted to share the story to others who were interested in knowing the seller and this is what happens.

Gosh.
Girls, some times, when it's got nothing to do with you, please stay out of it la.
It was a rant, and now see what happened.
So, whatever it is, im going to reply know.
This is the last mail im sending in response to this.

I'll let the pics do the talking.
I'm done explaining/clarifying/arguing.
And the ebay one.
I mailed her and waited for a long long time.
It took her a few days, and i researched and found better sources.
What would you do?
If she replied me earlier, whether or not, it went to spam mail or wtv, i wouldn't even consider buying from other ppl.
When you found somewhere cheaper, what would YOU do?
Answer that question honestly.

Also, seller wrote this.
Buyer thinks that I want to save on the FOC Registered Post which was offered to her for Nail Polish + ‘Blush’. Both items arrive on the same day and to be shipped to the same address hence to be sent out in 1 package. If that is not called efficient, then what is?

Firstly, it was suppose to reach due with my lipsticks which arrived a long time ago.
Your supplier messed up, i thought of giving you a chance.
I waited patiently and i even said i dont need a tracking number cos i trusted her enough.
Then, okay cool. waiting, waiting.
Another mail shows up, telling me that it might not have been in the latest package.
How do you expect me to feel?
The next mail, suddenly saying, it's going to arrive with the nail polish, which i ordered much later.
I've no complains bout the nail polish's delivery time, that is fine.
I'm having a problem with the blusher.
Seller, please ask yourself, when did you promise the blusher for me.
And how long have you delayed.
The reason why i ordered was cos i wanted it really badly, cos i loved it.
When you said it didn arrive the first time, and offered free registered post, i accepted cos i really loved The blush, and would wait.
Then, you tell me that it might not be in the next package again.
How do you think i would feel?
I dont feel cheated by you, dont worry.
I just felt, irritated waiting for so long.
I know you offered me refunds and stuff.
But, as i said, i wanted the blush more than the refund.
And the long and much awaited blush just kept being delayed over and over again, and it irritated me to post this here.

I'm done with this.

Updates #8 ~ Who are you to tell me a bout effiency?

Editor's note : The following is all the email correspondence between the author of "Who are you to tell me about efficiency?" and the seller. These are sent in by the SELLER who stands her ground that she is being defamed by the author. It is one helluva long post. Reader : you be the judge in this ok?

Picture 1

17 June 2010
Buyer emailed me to order a few items. Refer below. My reply was sent to Buyer in less than an hour.

Picture 2

I then explain to Buyer about the ‘Spree Procedures’.
Part 1 – Spree Procedures.
Part 2 – Buyer agreeing to the procedures. Buyer requests for ‘Discounts’.

Picture 3

This clearly states that I did inform buyer on the arrival of her order.

Picture 4

Referring to the picture inserted at the following page, Buyer has yet requested for ‘discount’ whereby I gave her FOC Registered Post. Buyer agreed.

Picture 5

Buyer mentions she won’t back out. I’ve already explained to her on when it’s arriving.

Picture 6

Note the time: I emailed Buyer on the arrival of her order but 1 of the item ‘Blush’ is not in the package. I waited for her reply until about 8pm that night & she still did not reply. I sms her instead ( I do not have pictures of the sms because I will clean my sms inbox/outbox every week to avoid from inbox/outbox being full, hence not receiving more recent sms). Buyer agrees only I send this out via Pos Ekspress. Otherwise I wouldn’t have sent it out. This charges of Pos Ekspress is given FOC to the Buyer.
As you can see after my last email – there wasn’t any reply from the Buyer.

In the sms, I did mention to her that I will get my seller to send the ‘Blush’ during my next shipment and asked if Buyer was ok with it. She said OK. I order from my seller weekly/bi-weekly as mentioned earlier. Buyer expects the ‘Blush’ to arrive the following Monday (Jul 12th) from the US which is not possible. Even courier companies like DHL will take at least 5 days to arrive, what more USPS First Class Mail. I am lucky my seller lives in California and mails/packages from California is one of the main hubs in the US (the other being Florida). Hence, don’t need to stop by any other states in the US for transits, hence it takes about at least 1.5 weeks to Malaysia. If I’m lucky enough, package will arrive in 8 days time.

Picture 7

Obviously, it’s myself that has offered to refund her. She claims in the post that she ASKED for a refund.

Picture 8

Buyer then purchase nail polish from me. As per below, she did not provide a new address and did not mention that she wanted it to be sent to a different address (to her friend as she claimed in her post). I sent her an invoice & she paid for it. There is a billing address + shipping address in the invoice, hence agreeing to it since she has paid for it.
She also mention that she received the nail polish from me and did not include the makeups which she purchased – as per notes above. She has only purchased under Spree15 for nail polish, how can my nail polish arrive before the closing date?
Looking at the last reply to her on if she really did receive the nail polish from me, she didn’t even reply to say that if it was from me or another seller. I checked my past list and didn’t even find her invoices, hence obviously she didn’t purchase from me.

Picture 9

Buyer thinks that I want to save on the FOC Registered Post which was offered to her for Nail Polish + ‘Blush’. Both items arrive on the same day and to be shipped to the same address hence to be sent out in 1 package. If that is not called efficient, then what is?

Picture 10

Buyer still accused me of saving on FOC registered post saying that my supplier is inefficient. She still does not understand why I suggested to send both items together (when it’s arriving from the US at the same time and then be sent to her with the same address).

Conclusion: All has been explained and you have seen the difference of her testimonial and mine but mine comes with proof.


This is another proof of what she did in Ebay.

Ebay1

Buyer pressed BUY IT NOW and then in the end cancelled the transaction because I did not reply her but if you refer to the pictures below, all replies are recorded here.

Ebay2

I replied her – look at the date & the reply.

Ebay 3

Buyer accused me of not replying but referring to the picture above – I did reply. Most probably she did not receive or see the message.

England gone wrong

Don't u find this word funny?

"I'm selling SHORT MAXI DRESS"

A blog uses this phrase. U better change it girl!

It all leads me back to you

I have a blogshop doing pre-orders for shoes, and the way it works is that we require a RM100 deposit PER pair of shoes ordered..

Sometimes when customers order in large quantities, but only pay up the deposit for 1-2 pairs instead of for all, I allow it.
I know this is bad judgement and I should be more strict about this rule, but I understand that sometimes the timing of my batch is in the middle of the month where people haven't received their pay yet and so on..

but then i ended up with these 2 customers:

Customer A : 2nd time customer, ordered 5 pairs, paid RM60 deposit (instead of RM500 required), gone MIA and still owed me RM733.

Customer B : New customer, ordered 11 pairs, paid RM200 deposit (instead of RM1100), gone MIA and still owed me RM1651.

I emailed and texted them both, giving them 1 week to reply before I forfeit their deposit and sell off their shoes. I did say that we can work out an installment plan, or if they have any other ideas, to feel free to suggest them to me and maybe we can work something out.

And then I got a reply from Customer B who said "i'm no longer related to this. please contact anything to this new number 017-xxxxxxx.tq"

So I did, and forwarded the earlier text to the new number provided, and got no reply. surprise surprise.

Then i decided to do a search of Customer A on Google. And it turns out, she owns a shoe blogshop too! And she has been active on her site and her personal blog recently, which goes to show she's still around and very much capable of replying me.

So following advice from SMWDY, I emailed Customer A's blogshop's email address and acted blur saying
"hey babe, just wondering if youre the same XXX that ordered from my blog?
Cos i'm looking for a buyer of mine called XXX but I havent been able to locate her.."

And just like that, within an hour, I received a reply to my much earlier text saying
"hey there. XXX here. Sorry for the late reply. I've bank in the money RM733 just now. 5 pairs right? thank you."

ONE DOWN, ONE MORE TO GO!

So since Google has been awesome to me the first time around, I thought what the heck, lets give Google a go with Customer B too..

So I Googled the “new number” as provided by customer B.
And voila! I found an advert on mudah.my with the “new number” and an email address attached!
I facebook searched the email address and found only 1 listing for a girl’s FB profile. When I clicked on the profile, guess what I found?
She is also the owner of the exact same blogshop as Customer A!

So following more advice from SMWDY, I screen-shot every single step I took to find out all this and sent it all to Customer A, explaining what I had found and the proof I had and that I absolutely didn’t believe this was a coincidence.

And the second miracle of the day happened! Within half and hour the “new number” replied me to say she’ll bank in the money tomorrow.

That was yesterday and true enough, without any reminders/pushing on my side, she banked in the money early today. All RM1650 of it!
And she told me to send all 16 pairs to Customer A.

Just thought I’d share this so no other seller would fall for these tricks out of sympathy, and get burned like I did.


Editor's note : This post was done after much consideration from both author and myself. And thanks to Xash for her very level headed advise, I have decided the identity of the buyer will not be revealed to everyone. Here's the thing, she still runs a legitimate business and her only wrong doing here is as a BUYER and not a seller so I will not be revealing blog name.

The objective of this post is to reach out to those who may have experienced the same predicament as the author here. For those who feel that they may have been through the same experience esp involving very large amount of money and shoes, please write to me. Tell me the name of the buyer who placed the order, the email address, phone numbers and blog name. If any of the info matches then I will reveal my info to you. 

I think this is fair to all parties. ~ slapmewhydontyou@gmail.com ~

Who are you to tell me about efficiency?

I'm a seller myself.
I previously bought some cosmetics from this site on lowyat, and she has another shop on blogger.
She seems like a nice girl, replying mails all politely and all.
But, being polite, doesn't mean you can delay delivery and give all sorts of excuses right?
It doesn't make a difference delaying delivery, or delaying delivery with a smile.
The thing about this seller is, i ordered a bunch of stuff from her, more than a month ago.
Okay i get it, pre-orders blah blah needs time to arrive.
Okay, im cool with that.
She sent out the items to me, and i counted them.
EH, SOMETHING'S MISSING!
I mailed her about it, and she said,

"Oh. Sorry. My supplier did not send it out to me. I will send it out on monday, free registered post."

Sounds sweet of her right? Okay cool.
I'll take it, and give her a break.

Today (one week later from the monday she promised, it's tuesday actually), i mailed her with annoyance in my tone.

"I thought you said it was going to arrive on monday LAST WEEK? it's tuesday THIS WEEK. you didn't even bother to mail me about the delay as well."

Hey, no matter how polite she replies, this is a lil too much. i waited for almost 2 months for my item??

She replied, "Oh. I have too many mails to reply. I'm sorry."

I was like, ???? WTF. Can't handle it, don't sell.
The fact that you have so many buyers, GOOD FOR YOU but make sure you can handle all of them and not just the ones that are paying you.
THE ONES THAT PAID YOU AS WELL.

She then said, she will post that blusher which i was suppose to receive a long long time ago, with a nail polish my friend asked me to buy from her as well 2-3 weeks back.

HEY? THEN WHAT ABOUT THE FREE POSTAGE YOU PROMISED ME?
SO, YOU JUST TAP ON MY FRIEND'S POSTAGE NOW?
That was going too much.

I requested for a refund and she dare tell me, "I'm just being efiicient to send two things out together."

Hey babe, of all people, you want to tell me about efficiency?
If you were that efficient, you wouldn't have delayed the postage of my item for 2 months and not even informing me and the best part, telling me you're efficient.

HATS OFF TO YOU.
P/S i even wanted to be a reseller of her items.
i will slap myself for that.
Not that her stuff are THAT cheap neither. Just thought she was friendly.
That's friendly with a motive right there.

Nice trap!

I was chilling out at starbux, and being at the right place at the right time, i had a damn hell entertaining free show.

I saw a seller who own quite a popular blog (and quite popular of having a bad reputation too). I know her 'cus have met her several times in bazaar as im a seller myself.

We just exchanged smiles and a wave of "hi". She was obviously doing a COD cos she had a big bag of clothes on her hand and was apparently waiting, and anxiously sms-ing and calling. Looks like as if her buyer was late. (and i was guessing that it must be a big client cos of the big bag of clothes)

After 30 mins, she finally decided to leave.

But just as she was turning away, a few girls came up.

She was just bout 6 feet away from the table i was sitting, so i could hear their conversation loud and clear.

Seller: Hey hey, i tried calling you but couldnt reach you.
Buyer: Oh yea sure i know. I was already here an hour ago. I purposely did not pick up.
Seller: *shock* What? You purposely make me wait here?
Buyer: Yea i did just that.
Seller: *still in state of shock* I dont understand.... ?
Buyer: So do you know now how it feels to be purposely ignored and stood up for COD? it's been 3 f*king weeks since I paid for my clothes and u f*king ignore me for my tracking no and my requests for a refund! I'm (Girl's name) you b*tch! Now give me back my 135bux!

That cornered expression of the seller was priceless lol!!! She angrily took out RM135 for the buyer, and stormed off.

But seriously, sometimes i cannot understand how sellers can run a blogshop with such bad repo going around, and they still dare to show face during CODs, and even bazaars.

Arent they afraid buyers will just come and throw banana skin at them?
