i would like to compliment the services that was provided to me by BunnyNoo. they are certainly one of the eshops that provides the best services!!

this was what happened:
i bought a dress from them, COD with them at a place which was not listed within their COD areas. it was convenient for the seller as the seller was passing by the area. the seller did not charge me anything at all for COD!! she could have very well charge me a minimum sum since it was not in their listed COD places, but she did not! that was one thing that impressed me a lot!

so during COD, i didn't had the time to check the dress, i asked the her whether there was any defects and she said no. so i just took it, trusting her that there was no defects. since it's Bunny Noo, a pretty good eshop, i supposed.

anyway, i went back home and took out the dress. when i looked at it, i realized there was a hole! it's not a small hole, it's a pretty big & visible one too! i was upset, indeed. disappointed. i needed the dress urgently and having a dress with a hole certainly doesn't make matters look good.

so i emailed Bunny Noo. wondering whether their No Return/refunds policy was applied to this matter. i hoped not! coz the dress wasn't cheap!! waited for her reply, and i was sooo happy to see her reply.
she said that she was willing to refund me the money, and let me keep the dress as well!

i didn't mind sending it back to her and asking for a refund, but her reply certainly gave me a surprise! this just shows that they're not entirely profit driven. although their items are priced considerably higher than many others, their services are top-notch. which like some readers have mentioned, paying for services are worth it too.

anyhow, i would like to congratulate Bunny Noo for their excellent services.

i dont only shop at Bunny Noo la. haha have shoped at few others blogshops too. hmmmm for recommendations, i would also suggest Vibrant Swirls, Clothes Bucket, Tic Tac Toe, Princess Boutique, Buckle Buckle, Bibabot

hope that other sellers would take this case as an example! but yes, sellers have to also be careful of fraudulent buyers who would do anything to return their goods and get a refund. overall, be careful when u shop

that's it! thank u for reading till here

Reader 155, I would like to clarify something here. As FT stated, shopping offline (i.e.: frequenting a boutique in a shopping mall) is NOT necessarily cheaper than buying online. I have bought some pieces from Sg Wang, Taman Connaught pasar malam and Times Square which are about RM 10.00 lower than what some online boutiques are selling. Yes, I just tried on a beautiful purple satin shoe from the pasar malam, and to my amazement, a blogshop is selling the exact same piece for RM 20.00 higher than what I just tried on. Yes, that amount. And a white halter top I bought there as well for RM 10.00 was recently seen at a blogshop for RM 20.00. That's 100% profit.

If you've taken the time to walk around window shopping, you'd realise that many blogshops are actually selling pieces at a higer price compared to real stores outside. Yes, they don't need to pay high rental for their shop, electricity bills, etc. But do you know that there're other hidden costs?

Blogshops are not meant to be any cheaper than shopping malls. They're just meant to be more convenient, if you live somewhere devoid of malls and time. I really like those shops that offer something that can't be found in shops, such as Vibrant Swirls. Their pieces are seldom seen when I window shop around. Some shops simply sell the same thing that can be obtained from our local malls, and they sell them at a very high price. Perhaps the explaination would be, not everyone is fortunate enough to live near major malls in Klang Valley, hence, you need to pay extra for that service. Vibrant Swirls have a few designs that're common among other shops, but they stand out because they mostly offer something different. And beautiful, of course. So, regardless of the price, I wouldn't mind buying it, as I don't see any cheaper alternative in Sg Wang or something.

And yes, both buyers and sellers need to be logical and responsible. Both parties have every right to diss each other when something goes wrong, but do bear in mind that meeting disagreeable customers is nothing new when you're in the business industry. It's how you handle them that makes your company stand out, and win our respect.

As for buyers, do make the effort to inquire thoroughly before making a purchase. I mean, don't you always check the expiry date on food you buy? Or do a thorough research before enrolling into a certain university? Like any transaction you make in life, THIS IS YOUR MONEY YOU ARE PAYING. You and you alone are responsible for it. Make sure you know enough about what you're getting before letting go of your money like that. Refunds aren't a privilege in most shops, do remember to read through the terms and conditions.

in reference to *click*

i think that sellers should generally be aware of the concerns of the buyers. we have to see what sort of problems the buyers are facing, what are their main concern about the item.

for example, if the customer is concern about the bust size of the item, the seller should answer the question accurately. providing pit-to-pit measurements may not be sufficient as the type of materials play a big role too. the seller is the one selling the clothes and the customer cannot feel and touch the material and judge it for themselves. some material are stretchable, some material are not stretchable, some material are flowy, some are not flowy. i do think that these do contribute to what bust size the item can fit.

therefore i suggest, blogshop owners simply tell the bust size of the model. i know that some of the "stats" of the model are displayed on the blog itself, but to be accurate, state the cup size as well. dont have to display all these info on the blogpage, simply provide these information to the customers when ask for it, or when u sense the need for the customers to know this information.

and also, another example, if the customer is concern about whether a big size person can fit, whether a broad shoulder person can fit nicely, sellers can simply state their opinion, provide more information about the material, but lastly leave the purchasing decision to the buyer, and not push and persuade them to buy. providing accurate information is very much needed.

i agree with the "non refundable" policy. but both sellers and buyers have to play a role. the buyers have to ask enough questions, and the sellers should provide accurate answers. and sellers should also be sensitive enough to provide information EVEN when they were not asked. not all buyers know what sort of question to ask.

anyway, lastly, wanna give credit to online shops that i've shopped at before and have a nice experience. i learnt alot from shopping with these shops, coz not only do they provide top-notch services, but also provide information that i can trust before purchasing that top/dress. they are : Cool Sisters Closet, Vibrant Swirls and Bouncing Bananas.
