coffee_o 1 Report post Posted January 29, 2010 (edited) best is if u can get those branded ones and sell at cheap prices. I love laneige's water pack mask, strawberry yogurt masks & peeling masks. But the prices here r rather x. If u go korea buy, it's really much cheaper. I always ask my frens to buy wen they go korea. Faceshop's products are much cheaper there too. By the way, since u always go taiwan, can consider bringing back lots of stuff fr there to sell. Ya i know got alot le but i might be able to get cheaper than them mah price is always the competitive edge in business leh ppl always look at price 1st and service later leh hahahaha talking abt taiwan I will be gg there in Mar sure hope my house will be done by then Edited January 29, 2010 by coffee_o Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Angel81 1 Report post Posted January 29, 2010 (edited) eh i thought all these is std service ? not gd service ? :unsure: i would expect they lay out all these terms b4 i will consider to buy for them or not leh Wahahahaha Nope. Most will have the minimum std stuff, but it's up to indvd whether they'll up their service anot mah. I give u a simple example on packaging. I bought earrings fr 2 different shops online. One shop sent to me wrapped in plastic and put into an envelope. That's std. Another shop put my earrings into a hard plastic container, and then into an envelope to send to me, in order to protect my earrings. That's one level up. This shop cared for my earrings, and was thoughtful enough to put them into a container to prevent any harm to my earrings. Since then, I always buy from the one that puts my earrings in a container. Another one. I bought bags from 2 shops. Both had little defects that I requested to change. Both ok with changing. One needed me to bring the bag & meet in town to change. The other was willing to come to my house to change for me. Which one has better service? Speaking about masks. One shop I bought from just put all masks in an envelope and sent to me. The other cared to bubble wrap them b4 sending. Simple stuff. But once u compare, it actually makes a difference. Okok, must go liao. Hope these help!
