i do encounter a few times, some within lyn itself, some on other websites.

i feel e-shopping is not all cheap and hassle free. some sellers charge a higher shipping rate, but in fact, it doesnt cost that much. Most sellers use pos laju and charges are usually between RM5-RM8 per package delivery (of course, depending on the weight as well), but the actual cost incurred is not even close to what they charge us. pos laju always print the total amount payable for that package on the delivery slip and most of the time, it's usually lesser than what i've been charged.

on the other note, if you opt for COD, it's not that hassle free as everyone think it is. you have to spend time arranging, rearranging time and place to meet, to accommodate the seller and buyer's convenience thus wasting more time deciding on this and you'll probably get the stuff some time later.

one thing i really kenot stand with some unscrupulous buyers is no matter how many times i clarify the size with the seller, the clothes i bought is somehow smaller than the measurement given. although, seller always emphasize on "buying at our own risk", but it is also seller's responsibilities to provide information closest to the stuff we wanted to purchase.

which is why, nowadays, i rarely purchase clothes online. although it may looks all nice in the picture, but what is the point of buying something which i kenot wear. and sometimes, it's harder to gauge, altho measurement given >_<

i would still prefer going to malls/boutique, try them and purchase clothes i know i can fit in and suits me.

purple, the rate u can check at www.pos.com.my, the first 500g is rm4, but it's excludes fuel and gov tax.

for me, i just charge rm6 for pos laju, coz need to pay parking as well.

normal include all the fees for one parcel within 500g is rm5.82 in my experience.

oh izzit? i know nothing about it blink.gif

how different is the actual postage charge from the price the seller charge us?

I also often get the wrong size from seller, especially DREAMY COLLECTION.

the size stated in its website is F, but the actual size reaching my hand is L
Paid RM35 for a cloth i cant wear mad.gif

You mind sharing with us the name of seller who give the misleading measurement to you?

Have anyone encounter parcel send through post express but never received anything? Just happened to me recently. Was told by the seller that the parcel was sent last wednesday. So i waited for Thursday, Friday and until this week.. I yet to received anything??
I then asked the seller and she promised to check for me.. She told me she throw away the tracking number.. Oh no.. So still waiting for her reply..
I wonder if she going to cheat me.. I don think so as it only RM20..Ermm... What do you guys think?

the buyer should hv provided u the tracking number. pos ekspres do not need signature, pos laju need. if u wan secure, choose pos laju, or pos daftar but pos dafter need to wait, i not sure how long. also, the seller should follow up whether the buyer has received the item.

true, but sometimes, seller charge way higher. for example, a simple top, can hardly weigh 500gm, they charge RM7 or so. but in fact in the pos laju paper, it's only RM5 or so. you get the point wink.gif

$7 compared to $5 is WAY higher? Shopping in real life cost you transport fee of more than $5 (depending on which mall you're going, and type of transport you use), but nobody's whining. 

You might think $5 is adequate as its what the merely what charged by the post office per weight. Don't forget the seller also needs to charge handling fee + envelope/stationeries/boxes.

the envelope for pos laju the cheapest one rm0.75, the bigger one rm1.30.

i m seller oso buyer myself, i understand why some seller quote higher.

seller n buyer could reach a consensus when they understand each other, think from two part
