Perils of ONLINE SHOPPING
Many many times, the stuf u ordered look NOTHING like wats in da picture. or better yet, the fit is no good. There is alwiz a risk ordering online - but here are some tips from my own experience:
1. Know the company you are ordering from. if you don't know the company's reputation, make sure you have had some frens who ordered before and got their goods.
2. Pay using PayPal or credit card is the best. This way you can quickly lodge a dispute report in case the other party doesnt deliver. You will at least have some chance of recovering ur money if the other side proves to be fraudster.
3. If you pay by Moneygram, there is no chance you will get ur money back once the money is claimed.
4. If nothing works, email da stupid fella and say this "I have 1000 frens on Facebook and a gagzillion contacts, plus a personal blog with loads of fashionista frens.I'll post u up as fraud if you dont refund ma money." but threats will only work if it is a genuine case of fraud. Please don't do this if there is a delay in shipment, this happens okay (thanks to our exception local Malaysian service).
5. AND FINALLY, VERY VERY THE IMPORTANT LOR .... GET UR package REGISTERED. never have an un-registered package, i promise you someone out there is wearing ur outfit which you helped sponsor to some party which u r no part of.
heh.
