Luxury Goods Scam!!

Apparently, some young women has been scaming around in forums, either asking for branded bags to rent or promised to buy branded bags for forummers but disappear soon after.

If you are a regular online shopper, I think this awareness will save you from future troubles.

Although online shopping has proven to be a convenient way to shop, and there are wide range of products for you to chose and some retailing at much lower cost than what those shopping malls are selling. However, it also keeps you edgy on your seats all day until you finally see the goods delivered as promised and in good working condition.

I am not a regular online shopper but shops once a while for clothings when I simply couldn't resist the charm from the beautiful pictures. One way to ensure reliablity is to check if the site has been setted up for few years, any regular shoppers, and if they have a physical store in any shopping malls so that if there is any disagreement, you know where to go to complain or feedback.

With many blogspots and e-shop selling fashion wears, it is pretty hard to judge from pictures on the quality and fittings of clothings. However, sometimes the pictures are too good to sell you into buying it now or regretting it later that you just want to add it into your shopping cart and check out immediately before the last piece is no longer available.

So I usually buy one item to test out the processing duration, follow ups and delivery. Glad to say that the e-shop that I visited has provided me good service but online shopping.

Recently Baby want to get a Harman Kardon Sound Sticks II (Standard retail price in Epi Centre is $299) from online since its cheaper. But just as we are about to check out, after adding the shipment cost which was about another $100 over bucks, the whole cost amounted to $269 (I think), slightly about $30 lesser from the Epi Centre. So what if it's 30 bucks cheaper and having to worry about when will the delivery come in, if the delivered speakers arrives with cracks, whether if the whole thing is a scam, etc etc.

Although it cost slightly more than online, however, we can at least and have assuring sleeps in the nights and most importantly, bring home the speakers right away!!!
