Nice People, Ugly Experience
For all the shiteloads of shopping that I’ve done online, I have only been slightly ticked off by one blogshop.
Here comes the second one.
I was surfing around looking for new blogshops to shop at when I came across this one which I thought was not too bad [even though some of their clothes are more pricey than the norm].
Basically what transpired was this:
1) I posted a comment enquiring about a particular top in a particular size and asked for the measurements.
2) They replied quickly enough and even extended the 20% off for a day [because I enquired about it a day before the 20% promotion ended] for me.
3) They said they will hold it ['it' meaning the top, meaning they have it as a reasonable person will presume] for me max for 24 hours until they receive and confirm my money transfer. Then they said that the tops are moving fast and the brown ones have been sold out. [But I stated that I was only interested in the black one, plus they did not confirm the total amount to be transferred which they SHOULD HAVE because the amount was of a weird figure and I don't know if they do any rounding off.]
4) So nevermind, I re-confirmed the item I wanted and felt a little rushy but uncertain because they didn’t state the final amount for me to transfer [which MOST blogshops would do] and I didn’t know whether to transfer so I nudged them a bit to see if I should transfer.
5) They came back to me and told me not to transfer first because they need to check stocks. [What?! Shouldn't they have checked the stocks in the first place before telling me they will hold the top for me??]
6) Then they replied again but the mail wasn’t for me but for another customer about the same item, informing her that there is no more stock and does she want them to re-order for her. And then sent an email to me apologising for sending it wrongly to me and asked me “Hope to hear from yah soon!” What the?! What about me then? So was there one for me or not???
7) No stock for me. Can place a deposit and they will re-order the top for me.
MAJORLY PISSED OFFISH.

Review – Youuniqe: ISWAS Spree.
So one fine and dandy day, Ms V decided to share her online buys from this Korean website and Voila! I got hooked and spent hours deciding on which 2009 planner I should get on this web, ISWAS. The website has everything you need! Cute cellphone straps, stationery, umbrellas, diaries and planners, Moleskines, cups and clocks!
*Spree is currently going on, ending on 27th February! Head over to Youunique to shop now.*
Although the website is entirely in Korean. It’s still easy to navigate around. Just click on the thumbnails, copy and paste whatever details needed; Head back over to Youunique and post a comment on their LiveJournal thread, it’s that easy 
.
What I like about this website is that it provides detailed pictures.
See what I mean? 
I mean, it’s kind of in-your-face measurements, can never go wrong with stuff like that. (And yes, that was what I bought. I LOVE IT!)
Placed my orders on 14th January with Youunique and transferred SGD$14.10 over for the Planner itself. Placed an order for Diary bands but they were out of stock. Spree organizer Mel was quick when it came to replying of e-mails. Kudos to Mel!
All of the items arrived on 28th January and Youunique does Mass meet-up at places like Cineleisure and Central. Self collection at areas like Bukit Panjang. I text messaged Mel to meet up at Petir where I usually skate but after 2 tries, seems like she/I can’t make it. So I e-mailed her for normal postage and received my Planner 2 days later.
Yep, plastic covers and all. Pretty.
Came properly sealed with ISWAS stickers and all. Took me quite sometime to tear the sticker cus I couldn’t bear to 
My favourite colors, Tiffany green and Hot pink!
The planner comes with 40 extremly cute Post-it stickers!
In a nutshell, shopping at ISWAS was quite heart-wrenching because I wanted everything! I almost bought 2 2009 planners, heh. Mel from Youunique is extremely friendly and patient. She answered most of my e-mails pretty quickly although she was away on vacation for a little while. How-To-Buy instructions are real clear on her website and it was fun shopping on ISWAS.
I’m pretty sure I’ll be back soon to buy school stationery!
Linny.
