QOO10 - My Favourite Online Shopping Platform

This post is up for all my friends who are new to online shopping and you know who you are... Haha...



I'm sure that everybody knows about QOO10, previously known as Gmarket. I'm here to give you some tips on how to make online shopping at QOO10 a breeze, without the fear of being cheated.

1. Sign up for an account
The first thing to do is to sign up for an account.
Click here to sign up now.

2. Search for your products
Normally I will search for the products under the best selling category. It means that the item is very popular with a lot of buyers.


3. Check out the seller's/Shop's review
Compare and check the reviews. Look out for details such as quality, delivery and seller's service. I will normally skip products that are cheap but there's no review, as I don't like to take risks. I will rather spend a few dollars more to buy from reputable sellers/shops. Another thing to take note is that a lot of reviews doesn't mean that it is safe to buy. Do take the time to read through the reviews, and do take note of the more recent reviews. Do not take it for granted that a good review posted in Dec 12 will means that service will still be good. Judge from the more recent reviews instead.
Some sellers are very good, whereby they will SMS you to inform you of the item status, and normally these sellers are the most recommended ones.



4. Opt for Registered mail
Try to opt for registered mail to ensure that item reaches you safely, especially if it is from a oversea seller. An item via normal mail usually takes about 2 weeks to arrive from overseas. During the 2 weeks when the item is on delivery, it is impossible to track a normal mail. But for register article, you can check the status once it's been send out.

5. Post a review
Once you received the item, do take some time to confirm delivery and to post a review on your shopping experience, the quality of product you have bought. The seller only receive payment after you confirm delivery. Your review can also help others to choose a good seller, and at the same time, be rewarded with a Qstamp which you can use to draw for discount coupons for your next shopping.




Follow the simple tips and you'll be able to shop to your heart's content without worries....

Eat And Drink: Christmas with Starbucks & Final Giveaway for 2015

Have you tried the Christmas beverages from Starbucks?  美味しいです。。(Delicious in Japanese) This year Starbucks return with 3 returning favorites and a new creation, in both hot latte and frappuccino options. Latte Version Photo credits: Starbucks Singapore New Creation:  Christmas Panettone Latte Returning Favorite:  Peppermint Mocha Latte (Recommended) Gingerbread Latte Toffee Nut Latte Frappuccino Version Photo Credits: Starbucks Singapore New Creation:  Christmas Panettone  Returning Favorite:  Peppermint Mocha (Recommended) Gingerbread Toffee Nut  I've tried all the hot & cold flavors and I preferred the usual Peppermint Mocha in both hot & cold options.

Reviews: Orbis Aqua Peeling Gel

I've never been a fan of peeling gel. I've tried a few brands before, but somehow, I don't think that it works. It's not that it doesn't clear the dead skin, but rather, I can use the peeling gel continuously 3 times on the same place and still, there are lots of dead skin. So it's either the peeling gel doesn't work or I've got too much dead skin.... I got this sample months back when I shopped at the Pop-Up store at Ion. I tot I should try this out since I've been enjoying some of their products. It's a clear gel, turns watery upon application. I like the fact that the dead skins clumps together instead of the usual when they will drop everywhere in the bathroom. I did a second 'test' right after the first usage on the same area. Guess what?  Orbis Aqua Peeling Gel is really up to my expectations.... The first application had removed quite a bit of the dead skin on my hands, and during th...
