Praise for Gmarket :)

Remember back in October I bought a lot of stuffs from GMarket? One of them was this pair of pink shoes. I actually wanted the beige colour, but as I can't read Korean, so I ended buying the pink one which is okay since it was my fault. So I wasn't complaining. However, these shoes started to fall apart since I wore it on Day 1!!!!!

See photos below for the shoes condition after I wore them on the 2nd day:

You know what I mean right?

Seriously, after Day 2, I don't have any courage anymore to wear them to work. I might end up going home barefoot! -_-"

So, on 8 Nov 2010 I sent an email to the seller demanding an exchange or refund. And then I went on for holiday to GC :P

Surprise surprise!! My email was bounced back -_- ughhhhhhhh -_-" So, the day after my Bday (22 Nov),
I sent an email again, but this time to Gmarket customer service: global@corp.market.co.kr.
Again, bounce back -_-" So I sent it again to help_overseas@gmarket.co.kr. This time it went through, yayyyy ^^

I got a respond from GMarket the day after, asking for the transaction number. Pretty fast huh? Then I replied, and I got another response 2 hours after. This time, they apologized and asked for everything: "To verify your defective items, we need a photo including items you received and paper label which shows transaction number, item name, quantity and your name as evidence.
Please take a photo and leave the link of the picture here or send the photo to global@corp.gmarket.co.kr ."

The annoying bit was, my first email to them had those photos attached!! I didn't put all details, but I attached photos and the seller link. Can't they trace through my order history? :/ Okay that might be too much effort, but stilllll I attached all those photos! I couldn't take the photo of the label since I threw out all the shoe boxes.

So I sent the emails and explained about it and got another response on the same day:

"Dear Customer,

Thank you for the email.

Regarding your inquiry, we have sent an urgent message to the seller to get the resolution quickly. We will give you an answer as soon as we have a reply from the seller.
However, if you don't hear back from us within 5 days, please contact us again.

We apologize for the inconvenience.

Sincerely,"

However, on 24(the day after) I received another email from Gmarket:

"Dear customer,
Thank you for contacting us.
Regarding this matter,we 've been waiting the seller's answer.
We'd like to ask you what kind of compensation you want.
In case of the international shipping, it seems to be hard for the seller to send it, so how about getting a refund for one item?
Actually, we didn't get answer from the seller yet,but we'd like to know your opinion in advace so that we can inform the seller of your opinion in case that the seller accept the mistake.
Please reply us.
Thanks,"

I commend GMarket for this email, for thinking ahead and asked what I wanted in the first place rather than wait till the seller answered and going back and forth again to me which ofcourse will waste more time. Good job GMarket :)

And then, I can't remember exact day, but a day or 2 after that final email, my sister got a call from GMarket in Korea @_@ Telling her that we would be refunded for the shoes and we can keep the shoes. It was pretty impressive for calling us personally via telephone! ^^ I got the cash refunded to my Paypal on 29 Nov. So, it was a very quick job done by GMarket. Well done!

I'm happy with how they handled this issue. They responded quickly and politely. I couldn't see any hesitation in helping me solving this issue, and they thought ahead if exchange is possible since it's international shipping. Some other online website won't care and you'll have to send the item back for an exchange, which end up costing you more in postage. So, I like GMarket even more ^^ No harm done at all with this issue. The only harm is, I might not buy from this seller again hehe... not that I say their product is bad, but looking at my shoes, seems like they are old stocks, so when I wore them after years storage, they broke apart (It's just my opinion though).

So, again, excellent work Gmarket!!!! *hugssssssssss kissesssss* :))

Thumbs up! :)

Gmarket Top Blogger - December 2010

Yayyyyyyyyyyyy ^^

I was checking this blog stats, and I was confused because I had 40+ hits today, while normally I only get less than 10 or even 5. The most hit was 4th Gmarket Order!!! My thought was straight away "Did I win Gmarket Top Blogger??????" So I went straight to Gmarket to check. And YES!!! I'm one of the December Top Bloggers ^^ Hoorayyyyyyyyyyyyyyy Sooooo happy ^^ Confession, I did check almost every day since 1 Dec to see if I won :P I also checked during lunchtime today, but nothing was updated. So it is a surprise :))

See below, it's my blog being featured in Gmarket :)

I also think the skin care photo is the best compared to the others. So, good choice Gmarket :)

So GREAT!!! I wrote that long entry and I won Gmarket top blogger and get Gmarket Cash. My effort was appreciated :)) SOOOO HAPPY!! ^^ Thanks Gmarket!!! :))

4th Gmarket Order!!!

Okay, this order arrived days before I went on my Gold Coast trip, so no, it's not very new :D But, this is the fastest order I had with Gmarket I think. We placed the order on 24 Oct 2010, by 27th all orders were shipped to Gmarket, and then the stuffs were sent overseas on 1 Nov! So fast. I think they arrived @my place on the 4th at 7 AM :P Yes, they always come early morning. I was still sleeping when the postman buzzed my unit, and was still in my bed when my sister signed for it :P

Anyway, see the packages!! ^^

See?? 2 big boxes! I love parcels ^^


err.... yes those are sanitary pads... :P

The hats are my friend's order. She's so scared of sun so that she specially ordered these hats for our trip to Gold Coast. And they are wide enough =P Here is the link of the page for these oversized summer hats.

See my friend's instructions on how to order them:

Item 1
Dropdown 1: select item #28 from xxxx 10.5cm (the first 7,900 won)

Dropdown 2: none

Dropdown 3: select "109 xxxx"

Dropdown 4: none

Dropdown 5: select last item

Item 2

Dropdown 1: select item #16 from xxxx 10.5cm (the 2nd last 6,900 won)

Dropdown 2: none

Dropdown 3: select "110 xxxx"

Dropdown 4: none

Dropdown 5: select 2nd last item

Lol :P but that is very clear :P So from this seller, she chose the hat and the ribbon/scarf to go with the hat and then there are freebie of either flower or scarf to go with the hat. The quality is good and it cost her below $20 each including shipping fee. I saw very similar one @the store in The Gallery Victoria sold for $40 each. So, good bargain :)

And here are those pads :D I was desperately running out of pads and it cost A LOT for pads in Australia. Okay, not that lot, but stilllllll 1 pack of 10 bought in Sydney = 5 packs of 10 bought in Jakarta!!! So, I checked out Gmarket and I found these pads being sold as a whole package costing quite similar with Indo price yayy :D All of them have wings. That 1 different packaging is the maxi long wing (I feel weird talking about pads in here -_-"). These Hummings pads cost 14,400 Won for 8 packs.

These are what I was looking forward to the most (apart from my necessity of pads lol) ^^ I'm not usually interested in skin care, however, during the past winter my skin has been extremely dry, flaky, itchy and peeling >>__<<>

• Etude Moistful Whitening and Anti Wrinkle. It's a pack of moisturizer and massage mask. I actually love the way it feels on my skin, and my skin becomes soft after. However, my skin HATED it -_-" after 2 days wear, my chin started being irritated and dry. My forehead started having bumpy sign of pimples >_<>winter skin. Unfortunately my skin didn't like it :( It was cheap too, only 13,000 Won.
• Etude House - Pore Tightening Sleeping Pack (green tube) and Moisturizing Sleeping Pack (pink tube). They cost 8,500 Won each. I like the Moisturizing Sleeping Pack better. My skin feels soft and moisturised when I woke up the next day. I tried the Pore Tightening at the same time when I tried Moistful, and my skin broke out. So can't really say much yet as I don't know if it was the Moistful's fault, the Pore Tightening Sleeping Pack or both. The Moisturizing Sleeping pack didn't cause break out to my skin though.

• Etude House is famous for generous freebies. That's why I bought all 3 Etude House all at once, I was hoping for lots of freebies ^^ And I received Moistful Collagen sample (little orange packet in front of Moistful), another sample (it says Petit Bijou Soft Body Wash on the packet - it's next to Moistful Collagen), earphones (See those yellow earphones? ^^ I haven't tried them, hope they work) and sticky notes (the long pastel coloured paper underneath the earphones). I was happy :))
• TonyMoly Tightening Pore - it's the egg shaped container pictured next to Moistful. As I said, after my skin became extremely dry, I noticed that my pores are growing wider too. So, I frantically searched for pore tightening skin care. It costs 8,800 Won + 2,500 Won domestic shipping. I haven't got the chance to try it on though. And confession, the shape is one of the main reason I decided to buy this product lol :P Ah, I also received some BB cream, Vita Vital MX7 cream and essence samples with the purchase (the 3 small sample packets next to the egg). I love samples ^^
• ElishaCoy Toner, Waterdrop Whitening Moisturiser and Aqua Whitening Pudding Cream Moisturiser. My friend lend me this some time ago after she found out that I was looking for moisturiser. I tried this and I quite like it. The Pudding cream is so rich and I can end up with glossy shiny skin, but my skin doesn't feel dry at the end of the day. The cream feels good on my skin too. The waterdrop is not as oily, but it feels light on my skin. However, if I only use it without the pudding cream, my skin feels a bit dry at the end of the day. I read on the instruction, and it says to use the waterdrop, AND then the pudding cream. So I tried it, and I'm pretty happy with that. My skin is improving now :) I got a bunch of samples too! 1 small tube of Waterdrop moisturiser, Milk Cacao Black Sugar Scrub 20 gram, Cacao Green Tea Age Fitness Mask 20 gram, 2 samples of Aqua Whitening Pudding Cream, and 3 packs of Wrinkle Out Collagen Essence sample sachets. So many! When my friend (who lent me hers) ordered hers, she only got like 3 sachets of samples. I'm so lucky ^^ Oh, it cost about 48,500 Won for the whole thing :)
• We also ordered a bunch of facial masks (Beauty Friend) from this link. 9,200 Won and I got 50 packs of masks!!!! When I found it, I didn't even think if I should buy it. It cost 2 dollars at least to buy 1 packet in Sydney, and this cost about 20 cents each, so this is a very very good bargain!! So happy with my finding hehehhee :D I don't need to buy masks anymore now :D I can choose 5 varieties, so I chose wheat, potato, marine algae, royal jelly and green tea. I also received another 2 extra! How nice :)) I forgot to take photo, but it's exactly the same as the photo in the link above. I've just tried it once, and I quite like it. It didn't give any problem to my skin :)
  

Shoes!
1. The grey + white shoes are my youngest sister's. It was cheap, 9,900 Won.
2. The blue shoes are my younger sister's. 13,900 Won.
3. The pink ones are mine. 11,900 Won. Before I say something, let me clear this out, I've never had any problem with Gmarket items up to now. And I was happy when I received these shoes too. However, they fell apart the second day I wore them. I didn't have to courage to wear them to work on the third day, worried that I would have to walk barefoot home. I really wasn't happy and then sent an email to complain to the seller. However, it was bounced back to me. So I sent another email to Gmarket customer service. They handled it quickly and contacted the seller for me. Within 2-3 days, I got a phone call from Gmarket (YES, from Korea) saying that the money would be refunded and should be in my Paypal account within 7 days. I was satisfied with their service :)

We also bought below clothes, but I can't find the links and prices. My sisters did the ordering last time as they wanted to order my bday pressents too, so I can't open the links on my Gmarket order history to check (And they are currently in dream land now so I can't ask -.-). But I'm happy with the items too. Nice quality for the price.


And below are the things purchased by my friend (the black jacket) and my cousins. If you want the links, just let me know. I can't keep my eyes opened anymore, I need some sleep T__T





Even though this skirt looks thin, when my cousin wears it, it looks like normal skirt, doesn't look thin at all :)

So overall, another happy experience from Gmarket :))

Random blabbering :P

Nothing special really, I just thought it's been a while since I posted something last time on my blog, so I want to write something. So it's just an update :)

1. My "little brother" and my "sister-in-law" had their first baby last month on 8 Sep 2010. What a good birthdate :) 8-9-10. He's named Steven. Personally, I don't like name Steven :P and they know that so I don't have to worry if my little brother reads my blog :p One, it's too common. My ex-boss in ASS was a Steven, and my ex-colleague was a Steve, and my manager is Stephen too. See how common it is? Two, well... I just don't like Steven :P I've been liking Aiden lately, but my "sis-in-law" rejected it due to its meaning of little fire. She said, this baby is born in Tiger year, she's worried giving another fire to it will make him too fierce :(

2. My ex-colleague gave birth to a baby boy too last month :) 25 Sep I think.. named Joshua Alexander :) and also, my highschool friend gave birth to a baby girl on 28 Sep, named Josephine. So many babies lately! I haven't got the chance to visit my ex-colleague. As for the other two, they are in Singapore, so my text messages will do LOL :P

3. I don't wanna create a fight here, so let me just say first that this is what I found out when watching my customers. I'm not trying to be racist or anything, it's just experience okay? So I won't accept any provocative comments. What I found out lately is that my french customers (that I found out to be french) are all rude and proud. They generally (like 9 out of 10) don't speak English. Which is fine, really, I won't be going to German and be able to speak German anyway, so it is understandable (though if I think about it again, English is international language. How can you not now even 1 to 10? :/). BUT, if I happen to go to German with no German language skill, if I happen to need to ask someone about anything, I'll be relying on body language! Well.. not for these french customers. They still talk FULL fast sentences!!!!!!!! They might be thinking I was looking like a french and just pretending I could not speak french -_-" oh my goodness -_-" SO ANNOYING!!!!!!!! PLUS, they are loud and from their speaking tone, it seemed like they were yelling at me for not understanding them! ughhhhhhhhhhhh what do you guys expect????? that I should be able to speak ALL languages spoken in the world????? YOU DO IT YOURSELF!! And after that, they don't say thank you! Oh wait, they actually spoke 1 word in english, "NO". And they said it quite a few times. Hey... does that mean they actually understood what I was saying to them and just pretended they didn't understand??? You only say NO LOUDLY, STRONGLY and FREQUENTLY if you know it's not what you mean right????? UGHHHHHHHHHHHH....... After those incidents, of course I talked about it with my work mates, and their comments were all like "oh?? french huh?" (before I even say it was french customers), or "yeah, french customers are so arrogant and rude" or "oh yeah, even if they speak english, they won't speak english" HELLOOOOOOOOOO what's the purpose of being able to speak if you don't use it??? it's like you buy a burger and just put it in your bag and won't eat it -_- whatever. And again, it's just based on my experience, that's what I experienced with them so if you're lucky enough for not having similar experience as mine, please don't ask me to change how I felt about french customers because I am not as lucky as you.

4. My 4th Gmarket order is on overseas shipping process yayyyyyy ^^ This time I ordered lots of skin care products from Etude. I hope they are okay with my skin. I also bought some facial masks, a pair of shoes, Elisha Coy and Tony Moly skin care. My sis bought some clothes and I could wear them too hehehe :D will post the full list later when they arrive.

I better go to bed now, been a tiring week. I work 5 days plus staying back in the office, and yesterday I worked in the office too from 1-5. Our company has been doing very well lately... meaning.... we are SUPER busy and IT department is understaffed due to 4 people quited pretty much around the same time. We hired 4 new people, 1 of them was sacked after 2 weeks. The rest are okay, but they are new and need time to adjust, also, we still need 1 more person, so me and my team leader are still very busy. Because of this, since last week IT people have been coming on Sat for 4 hours to catch up with things. And after that, I had to go to the other work from 6-11 >>_<< I didn't have enough rest again this weekend *sigh... but I'm rich this week *sigh... lol :P

Anywayyyyyy good nite all ^^

2nd Gmarket Haul Delivered!!!

Finally we received our 2nd order!! Yayyy ^^ and surprisingly, we had it delivered to our apartment! Yes, to our apartment, not to nearby post office as usual. And secondly, it was delivered on Queen's Birthday! That's public holiday!! Double surprise ^^


See all of the ordered items in the box? I had to stop my sisters from pulling them out just to take the photo :P I was a bit dissapointed when I opened it though, it wasn't full to the top lol :P

This blue floral dress is actually the one I mentioned in my previous blog. I thought I ordered it on my 1st order, only realising that I didn't once I received the parcel -_-" So finally I ordered it this time, and I didn't regret it. I haven't actually tried it on, but it looks the same as the picture so I'm happy :D Material is ok, just like normal floral dress. Colour is a bit different compared to the photo, but it's still good really. 16,900 Won from here.

That white t-shirt with eyes, nose, mouth and paws are my cousin's. The shoulder is fine, not too big, but chest down, it's big. The material is good although it's not that thick, it's perfect for spring. 23,800 Won + 2,500 Won delivery from here. The one next to it is my youngest sister's. Standard quality T-shirt, but for 10 bucks, it's good :) 9,900 Won from here.

It is different from what we saw in Paddy's Market!!! Lucky we bought it. For 17 bucks I think it's a bargain :D the material is soft and the colour is nice (of course photo looks nicer, but this isn't dissapointing at all!!). Click here to buy :P

This grey top is pretty nice too (Again, I haven't tried it on, but it surely will fit :P). It's just the colour is a bit darker than the photo. But with flash, it is exactly the same. Fabric quality wise, I'd say it's very good :)) 14,800 won here.

These two are normal. The grey t-shirt is pretty thin I'd say. It's more like Cotton On's t-shirt quality. But yeah, it was only 7,800 won here. The purple sweater is a bit thin too, but not very thin. But it is still wearable in Spring, so you know it's not very thick. Colour is exactly the same as in the photo. 11,900 Won + 2,500 won here.

My sisters love these jumpers :D Again, they are not thick. How come it is so hard to find winter suitable clothings in Gmarket :/ is it because it's summer there? :/ Anyway, though they are not thick enough for winter, they are not as thin as T-shirt (the jumpers I bought on my 1st haul were as thin as T-shirts). Wear long john underneath and they will be alright for winter :D The material is great - apart from the thickness ofcourse :P 11,900 Won and 2,500 Won delivery fee here.

And final one, my cousin's boots (My cousin actually ordered mascara, BB cream, shirt and another t-shirt, but I didn't open the makeups and the shirt. Will let them open them :D Spare them the joy of opening parcels lol :P But the shirt looks okay. And the quality of grey sleeveless top I mentioned before is very good. She actually bought white, not grey :P). Anywayyyyy (I always do this, say 1 sentence and then 5 sentences of background information :P), these boots were the culprit of delaying our order to be delivered. This seller always takes their time, don't they? The other stuffs arrived at Gmarket 2 days after I placed the order, these arrived 7 days after the order -_-" The floral dress took sometime too, but not that long. However, I'm pleased to say the wait was worth it. They are very good!!!! My sister wants 1 too now lol. The left top image is without flash, right top is with flash. Colour is actually chocolatey brown. And look at the inside of the boots, they are lined with very soft fur!!! Mine was not lined with soft fur :( Not fair :(( (But I still love mine very much!) So yeah, they are good buy!! Highly recommended seller, but you have to wait. Maybe place the order for the shoes first while still browsing before making whole batch order will do the trick. So all of them arrive at the same time @Gmarket. And then, combine the order. I've never done this before, but maybe this can work. 16,800 Won + 2,500 Won delivery here. Oh btw, I put wrong image for the boots in my previous post =P Sorry >.<

Finally, just letting you guys know, I've received the refund for my cancelled item from Gmarket. They did respond when I enquiried about it that Paypal was having issues in refunding, not sure what issue. But it would be good if they can let me know without me having to chase them for the refund. The most important thing is, it's refunded ^^ Problem solved!! :)

Now, time for bed, and I hope Spain, and Chile win tonight, and Argentina tomorrow :P

Good night!!!!!!!!!!!! :))

Waiting on 2nd Gmarket Haul :D

As I said yesterday, my 2nd Gmarket haul is at Sydney Airport now ^^ And as I've promised yesterday (promised to nobody actually :/ just to my blog :P), here are the items we ordered.

There are 16 items in total. 8 for me and my sis, 8 for my cousins.

We found these jumpers at this link. They are so cute so my sister bought 1 of each, and my cousin bought the love one :D And they were cheap too! Only 11,900 Won and 2,500 Won delivery fee. But we bought 3, so it's only 80+ won shipping each.

I can't remember which one my sister ordered, and she's fallen asleep in front of the TV already, so I just put both picture. She only ordered 1 though. It's 9,900 Won here. No delivery fee! ^^

My younger sister likes this summer/beach dress. And you know what? Just before I placed the order, we were just looking around Paddy's market and saw quite the same dress sold there for $25! To tell you the truth, the one in Paddy's market didn't look that nice. But we weren't sure the dress was exactly the same as this one (This one looks much nicer and prettier :P), so we decided to just order it. Worst scenario, the dress would go straight as night gown :P It's 16,900 Won here.

I ordered that purple turtle neck long sleeves top here for 11,900 Won + 2,500 won delivery fee. Now that I think about it, this top was not cheap :/ I wonder why I ordered it. But I am very short of winter clothes anyway, so I don't regret it. Plus this top looks nice :P I bought the purple one. That brown photo is just for display purposes as you can't see the length on that purple photo :D

The grey t-shirt on the left was cheap so I bought it :P I found it here for 7,800 won. For the photo next to it, I actually found it in plus size category and loved it the minute I saw it, but the size was all big, so disappointingly I didn't order it. But after that, I browsed around and found this again and this time in my size!! Hoorayyy ^^ I ordered the grey one for 14,800 won here.

Those 4 items above are my cousins order. All of the items in this order arrived in Gmarket 3 days after ordering, but the shoes arrived 7 days after ordering -_-" This seller is actually the same seller whom I bought my boots from last time. And last time it took them about 5 days too to send to Gmarket! Luckily the boots were good so it was worth the wait. Anyway, here are the links for those 4 items:

• Blue shirt 9,800 Won here.
• Shoes 16,800 Won + 2,500 Won delivery here.
• White hoodies with eyes 23,800 Won 2,500 Won delivery here. My cousin actually bought something else on this same link, but I can't remember which one.
• Grey sleeveless top 15,800 Won + 2,500 Won delivery here.
  

My cousin also ordered BB Cream from this seller, but I have no idea which one was the one she ordered. It was ￦15,800. Also a mascara from Etude House for ￦8,500 (I wonder if she'll get a freebie.. Etude House is famous for their generousity :P). And finally, I bought a dress from here for ￦16,900 ^^ I actually thought I had ordered this on my first Gmarket haul -_-"" I was waiting eagerly waiting thinking I ordered it! Here's my conversation with my sister after she picked up the parcel:
My sis: "I've picked up the parcel" ^^
Me: "Oh, are they good?" ^^
My sis: "Yeah, some are too big, but most of them are alright :D"
Me: "How bout my dress?" ^^
My sis: "What dress?"
Me: "I ordered a dress. That should be the only dress we ordered" :/
My sis: "Wait... I can't remember seeing a dress, let me check..."
*waiting"
My sis: "I can't see any dress :/" :S
Me: "Are there 19 items?"
My sis: "Yeah... I don't think we ordered a dress.... Are you sure you ordered it?"
Me: "Not sure.." T_________________T "Maybe I thought I ordered it but didn't?" T___T "arghhhhhhhhhhhhhhh" >>>___<<<<

So I insisted to order this dress this time :P Hopefully it turns out okay :P You know dresses are risky to buy online :( But I can't post photo now, it's not in there anymore. Will post it once I got them :D

Ah! Past midnight!! Bed time now!!! Have a good night and Happy Queen's Birthday!!!! ^^

PS: I spent my whole arvo (3 - 11) watching Hanayome wa Yakudoshi ep 4-12. It was good :) But suddenly it was night LOL :P

Luvluv.Biz Refunded, FINALLY!!!

Remember my previous post about my order from Luvluv.Biz last year that I haven't received yet? I've been sending them emails but they always said they had problems please be patience bla bla bla.... I finally sent my final email asking for a refund and lodged a Paypal investigation. I guess that's what I need to scare them off, coz.... I just got an email from Paypal saying "We are writing to you in regards to your recent transaction involving sales@luvluv.biz. The seller has requested that we issue you a full refund, and we have issued the refund accordingly." Hoorayyyyyyyyyyy!!!!! ^^ FINALLY!!!!!!!!!!! After more than 6 months!!! Coincidently, I was just thinking yesterday to lodge a claim to my credit card provider as I have buyer protection with them. Now I don't have to do it anymore yayyy ^^ But I still won't recommend anyone to buy off them.

I was planning to post my upcoming 2nd Gmarket order (They are in Sydney airport now btw :D), but my cousin, auntie, sisters and I went to Blue Mountain today and I'm so damn tired right now. My feet are sore and my eyes only have few watt left. I'll go straight to bed after posting this. BUT, I'm sooooo happy ^^ The trip was great. It was so cold (max 9 degree Celcius), but the scenery was so beautiful. It was relaxing and the walk was enjoyable. We gossiped a lot too LOL :P So yeah, I think all of us had a great time. Next time we'll stay overnight :P

Anyway, that 2nd order post has to wait till tomorrow. Good night everyone and for people in Oz (excluding WA), enjoy the long weekend!!! :)

Nothing really.. :/

I just want to bla bla bla though nothing much really happening lately :/ plus, I looked at this blog and realised I only did about 4 posts within 2 weeks. So I thought I'll post another one :P

I was planning to order Gmarket tonight, but just before I placed the order, I found this seller who sells a lot of long sleeves t-shirts. My sisters and I are in DESPERATE need of long sleeve tops. It's winter here in Sydney and we always have to dig our wardrobe every morning trying to find long sleeves clothes. My bestfriend told me of Coco Latte, she said they sell cheap cardigans, tank tops etc, but I work full time if not over time, so my only day off is pretty much Sunday after church. When I went there 2 weeks ago, they were closed -_- so bad luck for me and them as I can't buy from them, and lucky for Gmarket and me as I can order from them lol :P Well anyway, after we found this Gmarket seller, my sister's eyes only had like 0.5 watt left so we have to leave it till tomorrow for ordering. Nevermind, more time means wiser thought before purchasing right? :D

So far my shopping cart has 18 items. 8 for my cousins, 10 for me and sis. I said to my cousin the other day that this order would just be for doing her a favor (she missed out the first order due to studying day and night :P), so I won't order as many as last time (15). Now I'm not so sure >>>___<<<

Bed time now, will post the stuffs I order when I order them :P

Nightttttttt :)

First Gmarket Haul!! ^^

Finally my Gmarket Hauls arrived last Thursday ^^ I ordered it on 2 May 2010 (Sunday). By Wednesday, all of my stuffs were in Gmarket, butttt my boots were still on request T_T I think it finally arrived on Friday which means 5 working days. Well... still okay... but since the other stuffs arrived within 3 working days then this is long :P Anyway, finally my stuffs got in the plane on 11 May, arrived in Sydney and stayed in custom the following day, and finally picked up by my beloved sisters on 13 May :D

Please note that "Unsuccessful Delivery" on 13 May. The truth was, Australia Post did not even attempt a delivery! I was tracking the parcel on AusPost website and then called them up to check if it's in Post Office already. However, there were no parcel delivered and no card placed to pick it up. So, no attempt at all right? So my sister just went with ID to pick it up.

We ordered 19 Items!!!! It's actually 15 for my sisters and I, and 4 for my cousin :D I actually ordered 20, but 1 was cancelled due to either defect or out of stock. They didn't really specify it to me. This is the one that was cancelled :( I think it was about 5 bucks ------------------------------->














<------ Here are what we bought :) Please excuse the photo quality, I'm no photographer :P

1 & 3. They are long sleeves jumpers. When I ordered it I thought they would be thick enough for winter but it's not. It's thin and only suitable for Spring I think. But the design is cute and the fabric is soft. The afro and the girl's hair is actually wools, not printed. They are very loose type of jumpers. Cost about 12 USD each. Link

2. This has ears on the hood!! My sister's (and my :P) eyes were sparkling when seeing them :P This is actually thicker than those 2 jumpers :/ I think it's < $10. Click here for the page.


4. I ordered this in impulse :P Lately I've been attracted with red and kind of hot pink so this caught my eyes. And it wasn't a bad impulse buy! I think I like this best compared to the other 5 :D The material is soft too and normal thickness. AND, the size fits me best too! ^^ Can't remember the prize, but should be about 12 bucks.

5. We actually bought another jacket of similar type but in green. They are both too big for us :( Especially the white one. I have to adjust it a bit if I can. But it's warm and the style is good. I like it :) $12 for the white one and $15 for the green one. Click here for the white one, and here for the green one.

6. A bit thin too, but still good material and this fits my sis perfectly :) Same link as the jumpers. The good thing was.. it was $8 :P


We ordered this cardigan too. And we actually felt cheated. The seller obviously used flash when taking picture :( We thought it's white blue stripe, but it's grey blue stripe :((






But after seeing it many times, I got used to it and it's not so bad anymore :) It's baggy Korean type.
It's not thick, but it might be a bit hot wearing it in Spring. See the difference between the Gmarket photo and my photo. $9.9. Link





Now shoes :p (Shoes were actually the stuffs that made me so wanting to order from Gmarket :P)

Overall the shoes are good. They are comfy and look almost the same as the photos on the website. The boots are so nice!! Lucky I didn't cancel them because they were the ones holding the delivery. They were $27, which is a bit expensive, but they're worth it :) We like them so much :D Let me know if you want the link, I'll try digging my order history.
I actually wanted to find fluffy/feathery type of boots for winter, but it's almost summer in Korea and I couldn't find any :(

They are all fit, but the beige ones are a bit rough on the back. I think they could cause blisters.

The Pink ones were $13.9 and the beige were $12 (Link here)

I'm pretty sure I ordered the beige one instead of black, but they sent the black ones. They are good though. I like this black and the material is the thickest compared to the other 2. They were $13.9 and on this link.

I actually can't find the link for the boots, but they were about $27 and they are so comfortable. They have heels inside the boots, so people won't know unless they look closely hehhehe... :D Good for short people like me :P


Last, *phew.... my nail art :D I ordered 2 Konad Nail Art plates and the stamp. The plates were $3.3 each (if my memory serves me right..) and the stamp was $3. I went stamping right away the night I got them and I did pretty good job for a first timer! :D I did take photo, but my camera auto focus was stupid and couldn't focus on my nails so.. -_-" Don't have the link too but just find konad nail art on gmarket and you'll find them right away.

They also gave some freebies yay ^^ I love freebies :P Some crystals, gems and stuffs to stick on my nails. Pretty good considering I only ordered 3 items :) I ordered the plates with the japanese girl in kimono (S9) and the one with musical score on it. I did the musical score on my first attempt :D I actually wanted to make Heart pattern french nail thingy, but it was hard, so I swapped to the music score. They were great :)



My cousin ordered 2 beenies, 1 scarf and a pair of heels (I should have ordered beenie too :( They all are good quality and cost her around $60 in total. Now her sister asks me everyday when I'm gonna order my second haul lol :P

That's it for now, time for bed....
