Gmarket Order

Gmarket  Purchase


Finally decided to buy something from Gmarket.
The box is really big.

As usual Gmarket purchase is my stuffs. My friends all not keen to buy Gmarket. Think because they dont anyhow spend $ like I do.


I like these clips so I ordered the same designs....
Quality is good.

 

This is a new technology.. I thought so but after I google for it, it doesnt seem so. Lancome has come out with something similar but its for powder. Basically the item on the left is BB cream whereas the one on the right is the applicator. Dot the BB Cream on the face and then run the applicator over the face. I cant believe i test it on my upper eyelids. Omg, must be very damaging for eyeballs *EEKS* so do NOT apply it on eye area/

Leather Bag

 This is a genuine leather bag. hmm quality wise of course cannot compare to leather bag of Prada/LV/Chanel but overall for the price, its value for $ since its not PU leather... but I dont know, the surface 'glow' or glossy portion doesnt seem like a real leather bag. However, the same page, seller did label some bags as PU leather, faux leather and this is under Genuine leather... hmmmm

 I have been thinking of buying these containers for a very long time because my makeup area are still very messing. I have lots of palettes and brushes so I really need something like this. I bought 2 boxes of the container without the drawer... but i think its not enough. Have to place another order soon.

This is what it looks like IRL. This is the 2nd box picture's item.

Gmarket Discount coupon walkthrough 2012

How to Apply Coupon @ Shopping Cart

 

click 'Shopping Cart' on top right corner to come this page... 

  From my knowledege, there's 2 ways of applying discount for discount coupon. This is one of the more straightforward ones. I normally applied after I have placed the items in my cart and decide which coupon to apply. There's few types of coupons and the % can be 5%, 7%, 10%, 12% so I will apply the highest % for the highest price products. 

 Ok.... go to yr shopping cart and click on the 'Coupon' box *refer to picture. ....

 you will come to this screen. Once a coupon is in use, you will NOT be able to apply it. You will have to 'Cancel' it (or "Un apply" it) to use it on another product.
Choose the discount coupon which you think will help you save the most. Based on eg, this product is the most expensive and should be applied 12% discount.

And you are not done yet

 Remember to click 'Apply' button or else yr effort down the drain

The page will refresh after u click 'Apply' and then, u will see the discount / new price displayed.

Remember that there will be expiry date for Coupons.
There's few ways of getting coupons. Will get to that next time. Otherwise dont be lazy and just take the initiative to find the ways of exploring it. I first started Gmarket when there's not much information to rely on.

Happy Gmarket shopping!

Gmarket Tutorial 1 (Shipping)

Oh man, its been very long since i shop gmarket kr. So i finally placed my order after 1yr MIA?

Now lets go through the tutorial of what will you see after u placed an order. This screenshoot (SS) is taken on day2 of the order.

 

Noticed that I mentioned items may be tracked. Seller may have been sending so many parcels so they know the date it will arrive in the HQ and entered this to let us know they acknowledge our order. At this point of time, it cannot be tracked because there's no buttons to click at all

This is the domestic delivery tracking. They have many different companies in Korea (i supposed) and this is one of them. The estimated delivery date for this parcel is 19-06-2012 and it has been delivered accurately on this date. The earlier screenshot of 17-06-2012 isnt from the same seller

Also pls note take note that not all can be tracked. I've another shipment and the estimated date is 19-06-2012 however the link that i clicked on doesnt has any tracking functions. Nonetheless the item has arrived in the HQ.

I have combined 2 orders into 1 (my usual habit!!!) and this time round i've paid 67210Won for the estimated weight of 19.25Kg.
Actual weight will not be known until all my items (right now one seller is taking own sweettttt time  @&#*@&!*@^ to deliver my item) arrived at the HQ.

They will weight and then any balance will NOT be refunded to my card. It will be placed into Gaccount instead. $$$ will be stuck there until ready to use. and I dont think i can do with partial payment. So it will be stucked until i decided to place something of that amount. Which means i need to really play around with my order. Tried it before but only thing i havent try is take out my $$$ to my bank account. Dont think its worth doing because of all the charges.

Rakuten Purchase - Pearl Watches

http://global.rakuten.com/en/

http://global.rakuten.com/group/

Picture from seller's website. The face of this watch is mother of pearl. Pretty nice.

This is nice too but the mother of pearl surface isnt as obvious.

Yippeee venture out into Japan. Although the radiation is an issues for me but i think i need to quickly buy the pearls that i like

Since i've spend so much $$$ with Yokota Pearls, I'm going easy with my wallet now by going for freshwater pearls.

Looking for multicolor ones since I've good Ak

oya pearls so to me, it makes no sense to buy white round freshwater pearls because normally they cant be as round & with that metallic overtone like Akoya.

This purchase is 2 pearl watches. One is freshwater white, the other is like tahitian pearls. I only took pictures of the white though. Order is shipped directly to me. Shipping takes abt 2days from Japan. Its really fast. Also, I like the fact that the seller enclosed 2 pcs of the pearl cloths for my purchases.

I've few other purchases where I used Tenso for forwarding services.

If possible, i do think its cheaper to ship direct because tenso charges services charges which is still considered reasonable. They also have a 14days policy for customers to park their stuffs in the warehouse. Consolidation can be done but big items like umbrellas etc cannot be combined. If you are interested, do remember to read up on their terms & conditions

I dont read Japanese but I've no issues with my order because its rather straight forward. Maybe because I know chinese and some of the Japanese words is Chinese characters, easier to guess the words? Anyway I'm glad i venture into Rakuten & shipping isnt that expensive too.

Dont have to worry abt crazy volumetric weight compared to items shipped from Europe/USA

p/s: I still have a few packages that was not updated. Need to update them too but first priority is Yokota Pearl purchases.

---------

Side track a bit... wow look at this. I think its ostrich leather. Hermes Birkin. Its expensive, look at how many '0'!!! lol

Busy busy...... purchases from Rakuten etc

Been so busy for months, Dec is a busy mth. Now, Jan? Busy with spring cleaning which i have not really start to clear my stuffs. Whats more?

CNY is just NEXT WEEK!!!!!! I dont even have time to go trim my hair. oh oh, i need to go trim my hair

So busy i havent do the following. Hope i can do so during CNY


1- Update my blog with pearl purchases from Yokota Pearl. This time round, i paid a lot, especially since Yen went up. Zzz

I really paid a lot, 5 digits. Daring huh? Thru www? The seller is honest & good so there's no worries. I received the items in late Nov.


2-I ventured into Rakuten Japan. Managed to get something from the Japan co, shipped directly to me. Dont really like the pearls I get. Freshwater pearls, pricing i cant remember how much I paid but after wearing it, i know i defintely need pearls with in between knots. Otherwise, they kept on biting my hair.


3-I've placed an order for pearl watch from R. Japan too. Seller is pretty slow but i think its okay because I've plenty of patience. I think they are slow because they waiting to receive the $?

Also, its not my style to chase after seller because i want things to be perfect/good. Especially when its customisation, time must be given to seller to prepare the items. Not forgetting that we are not the 'only' customers. I think this is understanding especially when sellers have to deal with other companies too (esp my case with Yokota Pearls, even customised a gold hardware thats in a rodhium design).



I just ordered from Rakuten Japan & from a seller that doesnt ship to Singapore. So I have to use a forwarding co. This is the first time I'm using it so lets hope that things will be okay.

Nice?


I plan to get another 3 items from different sellers & foward together to me. Not sure if i want to receive from one seller first, 'test' the courier co services first. But my instinct tells me that things should be great and fine. Nothing to be worried about.
