I am quite sceptical when shopping online being introduced since internet usage getting popular in the country. They are so many pesismistic thinking in my head because any purchases required a payment first. I always thought 'what if questions' ; what if you will never get the product after you had paid the price, what if the product that you purchased is not as what you expected, and what if... and nobody could satisfy good answer to me until I experienced it.
So, 2009, I started my first purchase experience through online. But it was only when one of my collegue has purchased a few loose fabrics for baju kurung or kebaya through online. So I decided to buy one of the gorgeus material for myself. ( forgotten the web address).I found that the step is very simple. Firstly I need to confirm the code number of product and filled up the simple information such as name , address and email address. Within 12 hours, I received the email to confirm the availability of the product and asking to bank in the payment to the required account number. Choices has been given either to fax the bank slip or email the reference number. However I chose to sms the reference number . When the payment has confirmed, i received the product within 3 working days. Then what if questions has disappeared and precautions mind still remain.
Then I started to buy perfume from http://thebeautyholics.blogspot.com/ ; a Burberry perfume with a very affordable price compared from the shopping complex. I was found myself spent a lot of time surfing many blogs and websites and checking latest trend of lady fashion and cheap product in the market . In fact I learnt how to make smokey eyes makeup through youtube!
Last year my husband has shown interest in a new hobby that is golf. He started googling and surfing to read all the information about golf. Not like me, my husband quite optimistic person. He bought his first set of golf through http://www.lelong.com.my/ and followed by a few drivers, golf balls and even shuttlecock for his badminton practice.
We both equally agreed that if we spent a little time on survey online market price on the certain desired product, we would be able to get a good quality product with reasonable price which far cheaper than the shop in Ipoh.
The benefits to me and husband are :-
1. Save a lot of money ; would be able to get the product from outside Ipoh
2. Save a lot of time ; don't have to go survey to find the right shop to purchase the desire product 3. Window shopping from home could save a lot of time.. infact I could do it while watching my favorite show..
4. Get the latest information in trend fashion and style; e.i how to wear tudung and jubah and at the same time you are still look fabulous and decent.
5. Really spend the money on the neccesaary item, no extra charges on other expenses such as car park, tit bits, drinks and etc.
6. Good way to eliminate the impulse purchase habits!
7. I think some of latest design tudung or dress in Ipoh is outdated compared from KL or Klang valley....so I equip myself with the latest info..
so.. these are why I like shop online ..hmmm
