About Me

I'm a student from Sweden, who occationally buy stuff online when the budget allows it. My favorite place for online shopping is, and has been, eBay for the longest time - if you can show me a website that can top it, go ahead! but i doubt you can.

How I Can Help

I don't have any special expertise, i'm simply a buyer with a tight budget and a critical eye. Being somewhat of a cheapskate i compare many different websites and prizes to find the best prizes, shipping times/fees, customer service and communication between buyer and seller.

Interests

Good prices, duh!

Well surely some deals are pretty good, can't argue about that. HOWEVER. There's a couple of things that needs to be said:
1. Most of the companies selling the items are Asian hence most the sizes of clothing will be Asian sized unless specified otherwise. Things like for example cords may also not work if you live in an European country or something like that. Always read everything there is to know about the product before buying. Not just what the preferred seller has written about it, but also what other sellers and websites have written about the same product.

2. The different sellers ARE DIFFERENT SELLERS. Wish is just like the town square and all the sellers have their own stall with products. Some are good, some are not. Some can be trusted, some will screw you over. I don't think the app provides sufficient information about the seller in order to make good judgement.

3. I noticed that shipping isn't really mentioned until you've put it in your shopping basket and headed for check out. Like to see what the shipping fee is you have to scroll down and click for the information to show. Also when in the shopping basket the text regarding shipping is small and gray so you won't think about it too much. When you calculate what the product and shipping is together it usually isn't as cheap as you'd hoped for and you could find the same product for cheaper (shipping free or included) on the similar concept site eBay which actually shows the shipping costs clearly.

4. Another thing i prefer about eBay is that the prices don't fluctuate like on Wish. On eBay once the seller has listed an item, the listing will remain the same (until it ends or they take it down) but with Wish i noticed that items i had saved because i thought the prices were the best on that specific product later would have risen with 1-5 dollars which of course turned me off from buying. Only the cheapest of the cheap for this cheap $#*!.

5. Now this ones understandable, and can easily be overlooked. I don't exactly appreciate it though: cheap selling tactics. Things like ''buy within an hour and get it half a dollar cheaper!'' with a menacing timer. Though the point system is fairly neat i guess.

Sammydress.com seems like a great site with very cheap and good looking clothing.
Now it was a long time ago since i ordered from there but when i did, the experience wasn't very pleasant. Most clothes were asian sizes and very small, the fabric was tacky and one of the shirts i ordered had a hole in it. I also ordered a figma which was a counterfeit (which i probably should have realized considering the prize) and i never got any money back ect. Now this couldn't be all that bad or unexpected considering the prices, right? Well, the prices of the items themselves arent very high, but the shipping makes up for it. A shirt that was cheap would with shipping counted in, become average priced.
As it was maybe a year ago i ordered i can't account for how they are today - but back then it was a big disappointment.

I ordered a short blonde wig, wanting it in a platinum color (i've tried ordering from ebay several times but they always end up being in an awful yellow-ish color) and ended up very happy with my purchase!

-it arrived quickly
-It was well packaged
-The wig was very high quality and had a nice natural color and texture.
-Their wigs are on pair with wigs from sites like ArdaWigs but cheaper. (not to mention no import fees)
-Free international shipping (a big plus for me!)

A great site for any cosplayer with an limited budget who still strive for quality.

I signed up for a ''free'' 5 day membership to get some extra cash in a game. Today when wanting to cancel i realized i had been charged $1 for my ''free'' membership and if i wanted to cancel the trial it would cost an additional $1. I also read here that even though cancelling you will eventually start getting charged for the premium membership which is $39.99. Clicking the customer service button does absolutely NOTHING and when i try to log into my account it just takes me back to the frontpage, no matter how many times i've tried. I've tried sending a mail but i doubt it'll lead anywhere.
