Reader 236

I thought long and hard before deciding to write this. I am an avid e-shopper and have bought from a number of blogshops for the past 3 months or so.

Here are my comments on the blogshops that made an impact on me:

Dr.Pizzicato = I loved the fact that she made such a lot of effort to liaise with me for a COD. Her schedule and mine was totally clashing, but she went to great lengths to arrange for a COD. Thanks girl (and your bf too for passing the items to me :P)

TheItGirlOnline = She too was reallllly sweet about arranging for a meetup and tried her best to accomodate by crazy schedule. The top that I bought from her had a few seams that were loose, and she immediately offered an exchange and apologized profusely but I didnt think that I would hassle her again for an exchange. A stitch or two on my end would do the trick nicely. Im not a huge fusspot really ;)

However, the blogshop that made me the happiest was MidnightCarnivale. I was looking for clinchers and suggested a few types that I wanted and she specifically restocked one for me without me paying her first. And though the picture on her blog of the clincher (Feisty) is not so good, but gosh, the real thing is awesome! Im sooo glad I bought it from her, in black at that! And also, I bought the Topshop inspired floral dress from her too at RM48, and OMGGGG Im lovinnggggg it to bits! Planning to wear it tomorrow if possible :P The quality is really good, im amazed she's selling it at that price. I would say that this item is the best item out of the dozens of stuff I have bought from various blogshops.

Knowing that I will be unavailable and busy, MidnightCarnivale delivered the items to my apartment by COD without any fuss. Thanks girl for the effort.

I have a grouse with one blogshop though. ABLINC. I bought three items from her, and she did give me a discount. However, I felt that the Tomb Raider jacket that she is selling (which is stated as containing 10% leather) to be untrue. There is no leather ANYWHERE in the jacket. I did mention this to her, and she said that the supplier claims that there is 10% leather. I believe that sellers should not believe what their suppliers say 100%. One must be wise enough to be proactive to check and verify. I feel that she should remove that 10% leather claim on her blog as it is misrepresentation and would mislead potential customers. Apart from that, she was quite polite and nice towards me.

So sellers, do make an effort to go the extra mile for your customers. I know that I am one of those customers who would make repeat purchases from your blog merely on the grounds that you were nice to me, and not just coz of price alone ;)

Hello babes reading,

Well I am Reader 205, click to read my story of these marvellous sellers :)

I'm back here again, to inform you guys that I have successfully received all my items from all 5 sellers mentioned above, and I love all my items !

I would also like to share my personal experience with Ablinc. blogshop.

As mentioned in the previous post, decided to shop with her, despite all those rumours posted in the chatbox and posts by other buyers, because I thought that it'd only be fair if I judge her by myself, when I deal with her. and although the experience was kind of a roller coaster experience, the outcome was rewarding, and here's why I think we should have more sellers adapting her patience and understanding attitude. :)

Kindly read the emails carefully, and take note of my "mengada" attitude (paiseh.) this is gonna be long so bear with me !

Me:

Hi babe,
I banked in another RM 100 today
I would like to ask, since I'm buying 3 items from you, is it possible to get a discount of any sort
Because I'm still paying through my nose for my bills and rentals and stuff, saving in any way is good for me :) But if it's not possible, it's okay then, thank you.

Ablinc :

Hey babe!
i've been waiting for an email from u!!

i sorta lost all my emails,contacts etc on my gmail+hotmail, not sure whether its a virus! But babe, i have restocked the hermes for you in light yellow, and awaiting from my supplier for the gucci wristlet which is arriving in May,i think cause she's restocking it.. =)

But the Juicy Couture only left in purple/pink, i have another design though, will be posting it up soon okies? Dont worry dear, you'll be getting free postage-which will save u lots! XD

Me:

ah..
Miss Ablinc,
I'm sorry but if that's the case, I don't think I can buy your items anymore.
I really appreciate you waiting and restocking for me despite my minimal deposit, but here's why I can't buy from you anymore.
I only agreed to buy from you because you said that I would receive the stock immediately.

>>>>> And i restock tml, send out on Saturday,
>>>>> so u will receive it on Monday, latest Tues, ok?

but I can't afford to wait, because I am leaving for Australia in a couple of days, and I'll be gone for one month. I thought that since the stock would arrive so fast, I'd pay RM 100 today and the remaining tmr. then maybe I'll pick them up from you immediately since they should have already arrived. plus, the juicy bag, no more stock for the design i requested for, so I don't really want to settle for 2nd choice.

I really, really realy appreaciate you helping me and waiting for me and everything, I really do :)
And I really mean what I posted on FT, I think you're genuinely nice.
But I hope you can understand my plight here, I am honestly sorry for causing you so much trouble monetary wise

Ablinc :

Babe, you mean the hermes plus the wristlet you don want anymore?

I have a ready stock wristlet on hand actually, its for my regular customer,

but she can only make payment for her items next month.. So actually you can have it first.. =) Cause i already restocked the hermes bag.. i would understand if you dont get the Juicy bag dear.. but at least get the hermes and/if with the wristlet? XD

Me :

Yes, and I'm sorry I didn't bring this up earlier, I agree that it's my bad as well, but I won't be around, Ms Ablinc..
The bag isn't even here yet, plus postage delay ?
and why did you say that if you restocked on that day, I would be able to receive latest 4 days later ?
I thought it was ready stock :S

Ablinc :

No no dear, i have the Hermes+Gucci Writlet for you ready stock. =)

Cause one of my regulars, have placed order with me, but she is willing to

wait till next month.. so i can give u hers one.. =p
So is ok if you dont wan the Juicy, but the hermes+Gucci wristlet? hehe..

So until here, I was kind of reluctant to buy already. Because I was under a time constrain, and disappointed that it wasn't ready stock, as promised. And I had already banked in the next payment promised to her, by her obliging means. And I wondered what would have happened if I hasn't contacted her, would I have never gotten any notifications back ? But she explained to me that her contacts were lost, and I understand that. Still, all this turned me off buying already. So I asked her, what were the consequences if I should decline to buy those items anymore?


Ablinc :

Babe as much as i'd like to let you backout, i really cant, because you told me you wanted those 3 items badly.. i restocked for you those that i could.. but you cant just backout when i cant restock 1.. hope you understand dear..
Will you at least take the Hermes bag? =)
Trying as best i can to help you drop the weight..

After considering, I decided it wouldn't be fair to her, and besides, she has tried her best to help me.

Me :

Okay babe, I'll take the Bag and the Gucci wristlet then.. :)
I'm so sorry for all the trouble then.
But since I'm only taking 2 items, I won't be asking for a discount, won't be fair to you as well.
When will you be able to post them out babes ?

Ablinc :

Its ok la dear.. =) I understand ur position, really trying my best to help out.. =)

Your total now is RM59+RM62=RM121

You banked in RM125 total right? So i will bank in RM4 for your change dear.. hehe.

Give me your acc details yea? Thanks!

I will post out your item today.. =)

I was satisfied. I replied her saying thank you and that I was grateful for her help etc.
And then she replies with this message;

Ablinc :

Hehe me too dear! XD Btw, the charms for the gucci wristlet is pink, is that ok for u?

Me :

.....HUH ??? How could the charms be pink, I ordered it red. I didn't know anything yet then, so I replied saying that I'd like the red one please, as shown in the picture.

Ablinc :

Oh girl, this is my fault then.. =(

I just checked the wristlet just now, its pink, not red..

I'd rather not send you smtg you didnt order babe~

Okies? I will refund you RM4+RM59 ks?

Dont worry, i'll give you free postage fr all the trouble i gave you~

Hope that helps dear

Me :

Man, are you serious ?
This is kind of a problem in that case.
did you preorder the red one for me ?

She replied that yes, she's serious and that she did preorder the red one for me.
By then, I was already kinda pissed off and disappointed. Like, what the hell, couldn't she have just told me everything at one go instead of giving it to me bit by bit like this ?
So under an annoyed and upset mood, I fired off this reply to her.

Me :

Babe, this is getting increasingly frustrating, everytime I want to confirm something, something else comes up.

How could you have mixed up the colours of the item that I ordered ? And honestly, I don't think you got the colours wrong, I think you got the red wristlet, but with pink charms.
Otherwise, why else would you ask me this;

"Btw, the charms for the gucci wristlet is pink, is that ok for u?"

If you initially thought that my order was the pink one, you wouldn't have asked, would you ?
I really only do have 2 days left, 1, excluding today. I have to fly off to Australia very soon already. I honestly thought that you were just misunderstood, I wanted to judge your skills by myself. But it's disappointment after disappointment, it gets kind of hard to take in after awhile.

Perhaps you're a really nice person, and I, like anyone else, appreciates your kinda gestures and willingness to help me out after so much. But.. I don't know girl, I don't want to blow this out of proportion. Is there anything you can propose that would be fair to both parties, because right now, I just want to cancel and refund everything.

And I fully expected a rude and mean reply.
But her reply caught me off guard instead.

Ablinc :

Yea dear, cause the red wristlet got 2 colors-pink and red. =)
I ordered the one with the red charms for you, they're arriving some time next month,

i thought this would be ok for you since you would only be able to pay me everything next month, so i placed the order.

The disappointment after disappointment part i can understand, but the juicy bag and wristlet with red charms out of stock, that is totally out of my control, please understand that dear.. I wont want to cause any troubles with anyone k..

If you think all those stories on FT is true, thats up to you to think and believe, you also never told me that you would be leaving for Aussie before this if im not mistaken babe. Those "4 days span" that i emailed you earlier on was when i thought you could make immediate payment

and before i went t the supplier's place so i didnt know what was in stock and out of stock.

You arent the only one who didnt get the wristlet, i can give u the emails of my customers,

you can ask them personally, i told them the wristlet was out of stock and they are willing to wait till next month. I'm really trying my best to help you out, but you have to understand, if the items are out of stock, i cannot do anything.

As for the Hermes, i have already restocked it for you babe. I'm sorry you're so disappointed in my service, but i'm trying as best i can to be as of help to you. Hope you'll understand..

After she explained about the red wristlet with 2 diff types or charms, I suddenly understood how the misunderstanding took place. I wasn't aware that the red wristlet came with 2 coloured charms, I naturally assumed that the charms accompanied the wristlet's colour. I felt really bad afterwards because I replied in quite a rude manner, and she was patient through it all.

Me :

Sigh, I apologise for my harsh words, I was just really frustrated.
I hope I didn't hurt you or anything, I didn't mean to, words came out without thinking. Yeah well, if I chose to believe those words on FT, I wouldn't have bought from you at all. So its okay, we all deserve the benefit of the doubt sometimes.

Yeah I'll just take the bag then, It's alright about the wristlet.
Sorry about the minor blow up back there, really didnt want to make things difficult for anyone. And thanks for replying with such patience and understanding.

She replied back by saying that it's no problem, and understands how we girls can be sometimes, and proceeds to refund me my payment for the wristlet.

Are you dead yet, reading till here ? (;

Anyways, I just want to emphasise that I really admire her patience and understanding throughout this all. She earned my respect, and I daresay if you personally dealt with her too, instead of just judging her then slamming her in the chatbox, you might find that she's actually not a money grabbing Godzilla, she's actually very nice.

I'd also like to take this chance to APOLOGIZE to Ablinc. and say thank you many many many times. I appreciate all your help so far.

So here ends my very long post, I'm sorry to have taken up maybe about 5 minutes of your time ?

Thank you for reading, and thank you Fashion Truth for posting this up!

I've never been complaining about any of the blogs nor giving compliments to any. But this time, since i'm writing to FT, i decided to speak out my observation and experience, both good and bad.

I've recently entered a new blog, BonitaChikas and was shocked to see one of the pic there. The owner of the blog took the pic belong to other blogshop and made the pic theirs. They even erased the name of the blog which they stole the pic from. Moreover, their photoshop skill is awfully bad!

Any active online shopper would know immediately that this is the typical pic from Doublewoot. Isn't it?

They are so unethical to actually erased the name of the blog and replaced it with theirs!

And i found the exact same pic from Doublewoot:

http://doublewoot-soldoutitems.blogspot.com/2009/03/blog-post.html

I normally dont give a damn about others stealing pics or whatsoever but this time, i've decided to speak this out bcos i think this blogshop is too much. I seriously doubt if they asked the permission of Doublewoot before posting the pic up. And i think it's unlikely that any blogshop who took the effort of taking good pics would allow other blogshops to edit their pics in such a bad way.

The similar situation also seen in Ablinc and Footy Bag. Their using the same pic for the same item. Wonder who stole who's pics.

Ablinc- http://ablinc.blogspot.com/2009/04/branded-part-4.html

Footy bag- http://footybag.blogspot.com/2009/03/louis-vuitton-signature-neverfull.html

and i notice some of Ablinc pics are stolen from other blogshops:

From Ablinc (http://ablinc.blogspot.com/2009/03/miss-latina.html )

From Pumpkin (http://honey-pumpkin.blogspot.com/2009/03/multilayerthe-return.html )

I mean, isn't it soooo obvious that ablinc took the pic from pumpkin and photoshopped the background? There're more but i couldn't remember which one.

I've never bought from any of the blogs above, hence i dunno how's their service.

Blogs which i've purchased/enquired with:

-Midnight Glam - i recently enquired about the puffy skirt from them. They provided me great service and despite not being able to send out the parcel on the day that i wanted, their service is still one of the best that i've enjoyed! am now waiting eagerly for my puffy skirt to be delivered!

-Fascinate - though the replies were not really prompt, but the way they replied was a polite one. I even got free gifts from them!

-Fashionology - one of my favourite slogshop. i bought a few times from them and everytime, i'm happy with my purchases. especially the skinnies and kimono!

-Lush Serendipity -heard about all the issues regarding her service. Would not regard their service as top-notched, but it's okay la though delivery was slow and not on time.

-Nerds - They have nice stuffs but i don really like their service as they like to rush me to purchase. I enquired about certain items twice from them. But i ended up with nothing from their blog because they kept asking "Are u taking the items?" and not answering my questions/doubts about the items. There was once when i was interested in one of their top and asked few questions about it. At first, they replies were still polite, albeit they kept asking whether i was going to take it anot. i then asked if they can model the top for me to see as it is not modelled on their blog. Guess what, they just ignored me and disappeared! i m definitely not going back to them anymore no matter how nice their stuffs are.

hope u'll post this up for me. thanx.

replies :

From Ablinc :

Babe, the LV bag can be taken from GOOGLE. Please tell the person who emailed you that.

As for Pumpkin, we had asked for their permission before as im one of her regulars. =)

From Nerds :

hi fashion truth.. regarding to the complaint above, we're sorry.
if its the case that the respective customer has stated, we roughly know which customer it is, cuz we only have ONE case like this. (to the respective buyer, please email us if u're the one, or not the one we're talking about. we'd love to sort this out with u to dissolve ur dissatisfaction. =) )

we are truly sorry about that as we are facing out final sem now and seriously, we have no extra time to re-take the pics again.. we even stated in our blog that we are gonna stop updating for a month or 2 due to the upcoming finals..

its not that we ignore her mails(we're sorry if we made her think so), we are still arranging time for us to take the picture which is a basic top in white (we modelled for teal and black), and then only attach the photo in the reply.

and about her saying that we keep asking "are u taking the items?", we have something to say about this.

the reason for asking such question is because alot of customers do not tell us whether they want the piece anot. a lot of customers always enquire about the items, and we reply politely and patiently, they say they're confirm with the purchase, but ended up they back out without mailing us, and dun even pick up calls when we call them personally. i think it is very irresponsible for them to do so as we are doing business, we need to get back to other customers as to whether the items are available. with reserving to someone that does not reply or does not confirm, it causes us a lot of troubles. thats why most of the time, we'd prefer the buyer telling us whether she wants to reserve it or what, so that we can change the status in the blog promptly and cause less confusion to other buyers..

we answered all of the questions that customers ask. and as for her saying that we were polite in our 1st few replies, thats is not true cuz we only got her emails for like twice, enquiring about the items. and the 1st time she didnt reply after we said the prices are fixed and no discount would be given. so i dun think its our fault for that. for the 2nd time asking for the modelled pic, like said above, we are busy thats why the delay in replying. sincerely sorry about that. =)

we have returning customers too.. they praised us for our service and freebies given. we have never faced this kind of complaints b4..
we hope buyers out there can understand, we have our studies and life to deal with, too. and we, as sellers, do not like getting back outs. thts why the urge in confirming the sale. sorry if that offended any of the buyers out there.

From Bonita Chikas

to whom it may concern,

Yes i have taken 1 picture from the doublewoot blogspot. And i HAVE Ask THE PERMISSION from THE BLOGSPOT OWNER Ms.HEILINE TO USE only 1 of THE PICTURE.


HOPE THE ABOVE IS CLEAR.

Cheers!

hi FT,
I read ur blog n think its really helpful by giving alternatives to buyers n i say kudos to u fashion truth n keep up ur good work ;)
n ur so regular on updates, really cool!!

saw ur recent post n talking about replicas, a few months back i wanted to purchase a Louis vuitton from ablinc LV galore, design 5, so i enquired n she told me its RM 500-- which is expensive for a replica ;( n also enquire about footybag 390 for same design.

However i didnt buy from any of them yet coz i was still hesitant.

n I also noticed ablinc used real genuine pics for her latest Branded part 3, 4 and 5. n she's selling RM 400-700, which is so expensive, de design i wanted is RM 500++ :(

I guess both ablinc n footybag are quite dishonest in a way :( [this is my opinion about footy bag after reading Seller 59]
I also noticed some blogs like i think laura collection (cant rmb link) is using real pics to sell replicas too :(

however dont really blame all of them coz its up to them n their way of dealing bussiness.

the sad thing is I have this love for branded bags n cant afford real ones so i sort out for replicas, so i will just look around for the cheapest replica in town hehe.

n I saw the bags at fashionablebargains selling AUTHENTIC LV for RM2200++ n its so nice!!! BUT expensive >.<
However the real pics of grade aaa replicas look almost 99% the same as genuine ones too
so in the end i CONVINCED my self that replicas are worth buying BUT ONLY GRADE AAA ones! as they r real leather n looks exactly.

though at first i was reluctant to buy from ablinc nor footybag coz they dont give real pics ;(
but I notice some bags @ footybag are cheaper than others but some are same price with other replica blogs.
some bags at footybag are cheaper like the replica hermes birkin, so I bought a hermes birkin in purple as they provided real pic for me, n its only 490 :) n i love it to bits
which I saw the EXACT same hermes replica @ SS2 shop called--The replica shop, they are selling @ RM 900 for the same hermes replica >.<
so i went back to buy from footybag n the quality is not bad :)

n my friend went to last bijou bazaar at soho kl n got her marc jacobs bag from footybag for only 190, which was last piece after discount 190!! before price was 450. omg it looks DAMN real, i'm serious, damn her she got the good deal >.<

The thing is, I dont think i will be buying replicas unless they provide real pic.

or BETTER STILL, get to see the REAL thing face to face! that's y i love bazaar :)



*just wana share my thought about replicas n ur good work ;)


-----------------------
from Ablinc

My replicas are expensive BECAUSE they are made from nothing but AAA grade quality.Cowhide leather, means its guaranteed to turn color just like the real LV. The sewing,colors, patterns of every replica is impeccable and very similar to the authentic ones.

There are many websites selling replicas, but which of them really sells Grade AAA? They can say they are selling AAA, but could be A or AA only. Do take note that ALL AAA Grade replicas comes with authenticity card, dustbag AND the paper bag(most of the time).

We do not have the actual pictures for some because alot are pre-order, we need to order from our supplier, and in turn, they order from their supplier. How else can i take orders but use photos from google?

Its not like i am using those pictures from websites which takes actual pictures of the authentic bags dear.. Please understand, all my customers know they are pre ordered items+imitations ya.. You can ask my customers, they are all very satisfied with their buy dear.

For my bags, i can even guarantee the smell.

And another website selling all these replicas are selling for AT LEAST RM800 per bag,

so you know im selliing quite cheap already.. please explain this to your reader who sent it in,

so she will understand. Thanks girl.

[from FT : do take note of what Ablinc stated about how to identify AAA bags and not AAA bags. not get cheated!]

Reader 205

Hi guys,

I'm quite a big time shopaholic, and like everyone else, I appreciate good treatment and courtesy from sellers.

So about a little while back, I placed orders for a few items from different sellers :

• The Great Seduction
• Red Lips Closet
• The Sugar Couture
• Smashing Pit Stop
• Flutter District

Then it so happened that I had the unfortunate luck to be robbed a couple of days just before I had to make my payment to these sellers.
My house was broken into, my laptop and wallets, bank cards, identifications were all gone.
I had no means of contacting these sellers and of course, had a cash flow problem as all everything was gone.
So I went to a cyber cafe, to contact these sellers and let them know of my condition.
I was sincerely interested in their items, so I asked if they could reserve them for me until I could pay the following month.
But I also stated that it was okay if they couldn't, because I understand that they're running a business as well, and it wouldnt be fair to them.
I also offered them proof, the police report I made, so that they wouldn't feel cheated.

But I was surprised, and very very very extremely touched when they all sent caring and concerned replies back, and told me that it wouldnt be a problem to reserve those items for me.

• Hey girl, I understand your condition, but I only can reserved for 3 days max, I have 5 partners and I'm not the major one. So I have reserved max days for you, so sorry to heard that but business is business, I send my condolences on your loss. The bikini I can reserved it for you, but I'm so sorry the black butterflies I cant. Thanks for your co-operation, have a nice day and hope you can recover from your loss asap. (: we care for our customers ! :D

• Hello,
  Sorry to hear about your incident. In that case, we sure can let you reserve the item SSN1001 White until the first week of April 2009. Please do inform us once you paid so that we can plan for the shipping.Thank you.^^
  

• It's ok with us. We might run a business but we're human too. And it is inhumane to disregard such things. We're totally sorry for your lost. One of our staff just got snatched in Solaris, Mont Kiara recently. She was devastated. She lost everythin including her precious camera.
  So we totally understand babe. Just sort everything important first ya. And when everything is in order, the bag will be ready for you alright? No worries. Hope everything will turn out fine and police will be able to find the culprit. Just be safe and be extra careful ok?
  Take care darl.
  

• Hye Dear!!!
  OMG, are you alright? It's alright, you take your time. I will reserve the denim for you. It is not going anywhere as it has you name sealed on it already. No worries about it.
  No need proof, I believe you because similar thing happened to me too a couple of years back. Mine was worse because they stole my passport and my car.
  I do hope they catch the culprit that stole your stuffs and BAD karma will cast upon that person.
  Take care yeah!!!
  

• Hi dear,
  Omg what's wrong with people here nowadays =_= I'm so sorry to hear that happened to you, it must suck and you must feel really lost and traumatised now :( I am really really sorry to hear that happened to you, have just no heart. But be so grateful nothing happened to you !!! And no worries, item reserved for you, just let me know when you are ready to make the payment :)

T_______________________T
So touched. Especially when I was still kind of in deep shock a few days after.


And I kept to my word, I have since made the respective payments to those sellers and am currently waiting for my items :)

There is also another seller, ABLINC., who was extremely understanding.
I am a faithful reader of this site, and I have read about the controversies regarding her and the bazaar issue.
But I disregarded it and I decided to give her the benefit of the doubt, I decided to not judge without knowing her from personal experience first, I didn't think it was fair to her.
So I wanted to place pre-orders for 3 of her bags, but like I said, the break-in.
But I really adored her items, so I brought the matter up to her, and asked if I could pre order those bags, pay a minimal amount of deposit first, leave the bags I pre-ordered with her until I finish making my payment and then only I'll collect the bags from her.

Dear omg,

first of all, are u okay??? gosh, no worries dear..

Wow..speechless..may i ask where u staying dear? i gotta be on my alert.

goodness me.. dont worry dear, u just bank in whatever amount you have first,

and i will restock the item for u ok? *hugs**

I trust u. =)

And all these reasons, are why I am now here, penning this letter down. :)
All these 6 sellers are truly responsible and polite, and it kinda shows a different side to sellers, that they're not just profit making machines, that they care.


Cheers, babes, if you are reading this !
You guys certaintly made my day better. ;)

Big Spender.

how come Ablinc didnt admit she's part of the org team this morning?


how come they squeezed 59 vendors when THEY PROMISED 45?
that part was already compensated with refunds for Saturday. =)


why does ablinc. even have pictures of the flyer-giving process in the first place?
we have those pictures because we were gonna post it up saying the bazaar took place.


ABLINC can provide the complete list of 9 organizer and meet up with vendors tomolo or not?
you wanna know, we can meet up tml or day after. would be around late night though..


ABLINC..who are the other 9 u keep mentioning?


dear ABLINC, i think a refund should be given to those with sucky places on sat, even though they were already refunnded for sunday;s rental. its only fair
yes, thats why i asked u guys to email me like MOC did.


how come ablinc got a bigger space than others? just because she's organiser? how come ablnc got to set up earlier? double standards? how come ALL evidence (including bnw signed with 3K) is only michelle law and no one else?


What is the facebook event link for the 3K Bazaar because Ablinc said earlier that a lot of people rsvp to the event.


can you sleep well tonight?


does that mean that the email address law_hui_tze@hotmail.com was only used for u to make orders and back out? u've done so to a few sellers, dont u feel bad? dont u regret?



if u dont want others to back out on u, then why did u do so in the first place? and when customers back out, why did u spam their cboxes?



do u think u've done sufficient advertising/promotion for this event?


how come some stalls are given (or they took) more space than others? like sugar dressing, fashion reborn, house of allure.. while others were all squeezed at one corner?



will u organize/be part of the organizing commitee for another bazaar?




do u honestly think u've handled the whole situation in a proper way? do u think u're a patient and polite person when it comes to this sort of issues?

hi babe!
I did say i was helping out and gave them the other number to contact a member.

Hrm.. i dont really understand some ques, will ans best i could! those answered, i will leave it yea?

Adverts, no i believe could have been done better, flyers were sufficient but not really enough. I believe

there should have been ads in the magazines and newspapers. We tried to advert in it, but they said

we had to tell them at least 1 month in advance which was too late. I facebooked everyone i knew in my friend's list using my own facebook. =)

Some stalls paid more for a bigger booth, while others were selfish, and took up more than were

supposed to.(i believe this was in my pervious clarification letter). =)

Yes, i will most likely be organizing one in a mall, with bigger space etc. I will definately learn from all of this, give vendors BIG BIG BIGGGG space!!!! hahas. As for the refunds, have given it for those who deserves it: MOC CLOTHESBUCKET VIBRANT SWIRLS JAC ENTERPRISE SWEETIE GARDER HW2SHOP JEREMY WONG QUADRUPLE QUEEN SUPERROLLING OH MY CLOTHES and some which i cant rmb.

As for my next bazaar, i do not know whether some will stil participate, but i will guarantee that the next one will be planned for at least 2 months ahead. You guys might criticise/insult me more, but its okay babes, i will take it on the silver lining view. and i will try my best get a night's sleep. =) Thanks and very very sory for all the trouble we have caused u guys.. Very sorry.

babe the first ques i answer edi le!!! hahaha. i said i used my own facebook ler! =p

And yes and no. that email is used for orders but usually buyers tell me that if it has passed 2 days w/out payment, they will let the item go, so i always assume if i changed my mind, means after 2 days, its released. Because this is usually how my backout buyers are too. Lol. And yes, i do regret, because i admit i do have a bad temper and often very regretful bout it.. Have apologised to blogshops who talked back nicely to me bout it as i feel terrible afterwards..

Hi babe, as a frequent buyer, i do back out because i tend to change my mind, but its not on purpose, if i really like the item, i will get them but sometimes im just not sure so i might change my mind.. I have bought from PHat culture,Pumpkin,Model Studio,sexy before, and i have bought more than once.. =) I do feel bad, thats why now i dont backout anymore..Another reason if i suddenly back out is if the seller is very rude..

So this is where i learn.. I think i could have done better. As for the others, as i have said before, i wont mention here, for everthing can be googled. ANything, we can meet up. Just give us a heads up!

from Ablinc

yea.. i intro-ed her to Sarah, the main organiser, who hired her. I offered kay. ??

Hey babe, thanks. I don't want to be too long-winded on this so here goes.

I'm NOT the organiser for the bazaar, BUT i am a co-organiser. i only get a commision for every booth i get to participate and i get a cheaper rate as well because i am helping her to organise this.

Yes, i know the organiser, Sarah Lau, so what if i do?? Is it so wrong to be friends with an organiser of a crappy bazaar??Geez. I didnt dare to reveal myself as the co-organiser because i was afraid things would go wrong and i would get the blame for something i did not do! So Sarah decided to hire Kay couple of weeks ago.

When the bazaar actually happened, i saw all the chaos, and yes, i was shocked. But in my opinion, the problems/complaints only happened on Saturday by 12 vendors out of 60. Not like some people exaggerate and saying all.

From what i saw,many vendors were "persuaded" to sign some petition form on Sat night. When a booth did not want to, and said they were happy with their booth, the girl just kept giving reasons to sign until the vendor finally gave up and signed.

Earlier on, Sarah had lost her hp in a snatch theft case in Subang, infront of the "kopitiam" called face-to-face. I was with her, with my bf and her with hers.If you guys need clarification, u can ask those working nearby those area. A police report was lodged. So i lent her my phone, because i had an extra one. Only today did she give it back to me, and that is when i msged those who smsed me telling u guys of her newly attained number.

On a separate note, i had told YSK before that i was helping my fren organise a bazaar. Now why would i do that unless its true?? And i'm very sure Sarah had told u guys that this was a "rented" number(my number), and said she will get her number back asap.

On the case of lodging a police report, i confronted Mr. Thiraj and asked him whether all this was true, he said it was not. He said everything about him and his clients are P&C, and there was no way anyone would say anything, any name, whatsoever. So its really clear you guys are making all this up, with whatever u can get ur hands on.

Should any of u wish to find out the truth, u can go to the 3K Inn Hotel, and ask urself. Because Mr.Thiraj himself said he has no problem with us. If u guys have a problem, its between the organisers and vendors. Not him. He would not lodge any report. Right now, i'm very sure many blogs are taking this opportunity to try to sabotage whatever they can. This is girl's human nature ok. As for the backout, there was a perfect explanation for it with MOC, and im sure they were mad for the backout, but i explained it to them properly, rather than iggnoring it and running away, because i know what is true and what is not. Foul language, cmon la, who doesnt use foul language when they're angry? Esp when sellers are rude to them, of cos we would retaliate and defend ourselves.

As fr the rental for the 3K inn Bazaar, it was RM1950 PER DAY, without promo. Do the maths, it never even reached 5k, whats to say 10K. Please stop being childish and spamming every chatbox as u possibly can, because if u want any explanation, whatever, EMAIL US. Otherwise, its very obvious that u're just trying to sabo others. As for Kay, so what if she's from Swak? Do you know how many students in Taylors/Sunway is from Swak?? SHEESH.

As for the lack of space, MANY MANY vendors were very selfish and brought more than 1 metre long racks. Of course there wasnt enough space, but she refunded those who werent happy. whatever the case, the only reason i shop so loud, laugh so loud is because that is who i am. My customers would know that. So there is no reason why i shouldnt be that way at the bazaar! After all, bazaars are there for u to shop.

As for those unhappy vendors, they were refunded the money as well. So all compensation has been carried out to those who were unhappy. However, i do know that they were many vendors who had perfectly good location and space, and wanted a refund because they did not have any business. Of course, there is no refund from that. Cmon girls, please get clarification before making stuff up.
