All About FT

What is FT?
FT us like a neutral mediator where both buyers & sellers can hear each other's side to a story. Readers, whether buyer/seller are welcome to send in their emails regarding their online shopping experience.


What does FT do?
True to our name, FT endeavours to bring out the truth about e-shopping by being the middle ground for grouses. In doing so, we hope to push for better quality service as well as better customer appreciation. Our efforts include comparing pricing, discuss buyer-seller ethics, highlighting praise-worthy services, sharing positive & negative experiences.


How does FT work?
1. Customers are welcome to send in emails regarding their good & bad experiences in online shopping. Should the need arises, these emails will be moderated.

2. Regarding emails that contain negative feedback on a particular blogshop, this email would be forwarded to the blogshop owner (but it will remained as anonymous) and the owner will be given 4 days to send us a mail to clarify the matter. Should the owner fail to respond within the given amount of time, the mail will be published on the website.

3. Alternatives - this is a section where different prices of the same/identical/similar goods will be posted up. We will only publish items which have a price differences of RM6 and above (this applies for clothes/tops/bottoms), whereas price differences of RM4 and above for clinchers/accessories).Pre-order items & wholesaler prices will not be included in this section. do note that the prices which are stated are the listed price on the blogshops.


By publishing an email does not indicate that we support any allegations contained within. We also reserve the right to remove any post due to confidential reasons that shall not be revealed. As for blogshop owners who mind us posting up their pictures, do drop us a mail and let us know about it.


REASONS AS TO WHY PRICES OF THE SAME ITEM MAY DIFFER
Some readers already know this, but some do not.
Well, we have compiled a list of reasons as to why prices on identical items may be differ.

1. Some sellers want to earn a higher profit margin, some sellers settle for lower profits

2. Some sellers include COD charges & postage charges into their listed price.

3. Some sellers state a higher price just to allow some space for customers to negotiate the price. do remember that different buyers may get the same item from the same blogshop at different prices also.

4. Some sellers hire models to model their clothings, some sellers also do seek professional help to do up their blogpage layout. Some sellers include their petrol prices, time & other expenses into their selling price.

5. Some sellers have an 'offline boutique'. They operate both their online & offline boutique.

6. Occasionally, some sellers import their items from overseas, that is because they did not know that the same item can be bought locally at a much lower price.

7. Some sellers are located out-of-KL, which may explain why their prices may differ compared to the sellers based in KL.

8. Some sellers do get cheated by the supplier too. Different suppliers charge at different price. Also, some sellers may buy the same item in bigger bulk, which they may get it at a lower price.'
