my mini online shopping nightmare

this must be the season to give birth! my friend is giving birth soon. my sis in law is in her second trimester. and my cat, yuna is having babies too. and not to forget my sister and my mum's friend had given birth quite recently. however im flat broke thanks to my new hobbies ie gardening and online shopping. therefore buying the best pressies is not easy when your budget is limited. i still buy flowers but no longer commit to online shopping. while i think online business is most profitable and am considering of embarking into it, i shan't ever again buy stuffs online unless if they are gadgets or CDs or books from trusted sites like amazon, kinokuniya, yesasia. the clothes and those unique, creative items i would never buy again. so far i get alot of disappointment. one seller sent to me the wrong size. the other one gave a very bad quality product. now, i understand that from the photos it can be deceiving thanks to the lightning etc but when the stuff u send is definitely different from the one in the picture that's just bollocks! still the same kind, color almost but you just know its not the one from the pictures. but i guess they do that. they use other sellers' pictures and try to imitate it. but with awfully disgusting quality. buy of course with the same price. almost. and now the last one i have to deal with.. so strict. very tricky. if you select items from her website. and later on she tells you its not available. instead of getting a refund you have to select another items. now, whos fault is that? and buying above rm100 would entitle you to free postage. thats what she put on her website like its the most ludicrous promotion ever. but it turns out that preorder items and ready stock cant be combined. very tricky dont you think? even the wordings in her t n c are very vague and arguable. one thing i learnt. before you start shopping online read the terms and conditions first. if any clause is not clear you ask the seller first. and ask further about the promotions. see how things can get really tricky. so next time print screen the tnc page before u order. they run the website they can change it whenever it suits them. just checked her website, she just changed the tnc. who knows how many times she has done that from the time i started dealing with her. shes not honest but she does get the items sent. the ready stock items that i have received i'm quite happy with some of the items. some not so much. oh well what to do .. now have to wait for the preorder to be sent to me. no reason to be upset. i made a decision to buy. it didnt go smoothly. i dont like that. but i got to be realistic. shit happens.
