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 ;)
