This section is where FT features items, as well as link up other blogshops that are also selling the same item.

The definition of 'same item' in FT are items that are almost identical. We are not 100% sure that items are exactly the same as sellers may argue that the items are bought from different suppliers, or the material is different and so on.
This section does not include clothes from oversea-sprees, e.g. clothes from Taiwan / Korea.
Should FT make any mistakes in wrongly assuming that two items are the same, we sincerely apologize, and would appreciate if blogshop owners can kindly notify us about the mistake.

Our main purpose is to allow readers/customers to look for the same item should the item be out of stock in one particular e-boutique. Apart from that, readers/customers can also search for blogshops that provide CODs in their preferred area to save on postage.

Reasons as to why prices of similar items 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.'

9. Some items with the exact same design is in fact of different quality grade (made of different materials & craftmanship).

10. Some items with the exact same design may be imported from Taiwan/Korea/China (either pre-order of stock-in-hand), while some are from local suppliers.
