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!

Cher's solution!

Ms Cher finally done it! Congratulations! She managed to place an order from Gmarket.. lets see what she said in the shoutbox or chatbox

4 Dec 10, 10:42 PM

Cher: Hi Jen, yay me! Finally I paid successfully! I chose another country instead of Vietnam, so I could make payment LOL. Then I went to Shopping List and changed delivery address. That's it!

Cher: I chose Thailand since both of those two countries's shipping fees are the same

Cher is from Vietnam and she's having problems with her Gmarket payment using paypal. Credit card also not accepted... and bear in mind that Vietnam is under the list of countries where Gmarket ships to. So its really weird. Well, hope those from Vietnam that are having issues with Gmarket payment can get some ideas from Cher's contribution.

Looking forward to her good news after she receive her gmarket loots! :P

================================================

P/S

Cher has received her package! So yea for those from Vietnam and having issues with yr payment, you may like to consider Cher's "strategy" At yr OWN RISK ok... hehehe...

Gmarket Haul I

EMS BOX!

The box is normal size EMS box i suppose. Much smaller than my normal purchases. I choose EMS over the new provider because i like their packaging. Even if the items are too much, they will bubble wrap the items by sellers and put into the EMS box. So i dont mind paying slightly more for the bubble wraps or box.

However, pls note that EMS seem to be delivered by Singpost.

There's a Singpost sticker on the box.

I Love these diaries!!!!

Nice isnt it? The small book with the ger is the free gift. The diary is abt $17SGD after conversion. I like the quality of these korean diaries. Furthermore, they came with good packaging, good quality paper and even come with stickers etc. Not forgetting that they are CUTE!

From my Fav fav seller!!!

This is my favourite seller and everytime i bought wallets or bags from them. This time round i Bought a Prada "inspired" calf leather wallet. I like it that the design is unique, using leather and yet at only SGD$80 or so. I am sick of Renoma, Braun Buffel? kind of wallets. I dont want to buy LV wallet because i dont fancy them.. find it too thick & dont like monogram color combination.

In case people thought i am sour grape, err no? I have LV bags like Stresa and some others but i havent even carry the stresa that i have bought for a yr now........

hard to believe its been sitting in my cupboard for a year now. i think i should really take it out and use it.

Ok back to this wallet, i really find that its a value for $$$ purchase. Love it! The wallet looks much nicer in real life. I am unable to capture the matte yet reflective? kinda contradicting *sigh* i dont know how to describe the leather hehehe but hack! Just remember the wine color makes the wallet look unique and outstanding. NICE!!!

There's also a leather card pouch. For putting credit card. The price is not expensive. Ard $15? and its ReAl leather not faux leather okay!!! So Soft! Love it too. hehehee

Anyway i bought so many things from this seller, i am kinda assured about the quality. Just more concern abt the colors and how the design or leather will look like in real life.

LV similar logo Handphone Strap

This is expensive. $10++ and i saw one small crystal drop off........ i tried to hook to my LV stresa but it doesnt really look nice on LV. Not sure where should i put this since iphone case cannot hook anything to it.

All the above pictures are just part of my purchases... some accessories and a bag is not shown..... this time round i skipped cosmetics. Been buying too much from USA and also local stores.

Although the items are not much, I also spend like $180 on these stuffs. The bag and wallet is genuine leather and both already more than $120. *faint*

Woohoo my Gmarket items arrived!

Wowwwwwww just as i am wondering will i get to receive my items on Thurs (wed is public holidays), a young postman has delivered this!!!

and thats when the tracking is shown as 4am+ arrived at Destination Airport... and no more further update!!!

Will be loading the pics soon........... when I am free

Gmarket Lesson : Applying Discount Coupon/s

Ok... because of the Gmarket event I managed to win some discount coupon. Lets go through this simple tutorial ..... its quite easy and everything is in english so there's no need to freak out or avoid using it.

Applying Discount Coupon..

Ok basically, the top portion is something you will see if you click 'Shopping Cart'. Since this is overseas purchase, i am clicking Overseas tab.

You have 2 options to apply discount code.

One application is during the time where you select and input the items into yr cart.

Another is this short cut ...(see above picture) ..

Click on Coupon Box it works great especially when you have selected the items you want and u can just adjust the discount code. After clicking of Coupon Box, the lower portion screen appears....

Now refer to the lower portion, you see grey box 'Applying'. It means this has been applied (See the words). You cannot use it unless you remove this coupon from the item that used it.

So you can only apply if

(1) criteria is met like amount of the items you want to buy is at leaest the amount stated

(2) The circle box or radio box is enabled (common sense hahhaa!!!)

(3) No words 'Applying' is shown which means the coupon is available. I have noticed that I can apply some coupons together. Its under SUPER category.

I bought the bag at 60000Won++ and after applying 2 coupons, i have deduction of 10,000Won. WOW WOW. I LOVE Discount! ....

Gmarket Event 14 Oct - 13 Nov 2010

Yoohoooo so long never update this blog.

So why am I updating now? Ohhh because I want to win the blogger contest. heheheh cheapo me. I normally purchase everything alone by myself. Dont combine orders with anyone and yet my purchase is 'smelly smelly' or at least $150SGD. :(

So i need some 'rebates' from Gmarket. Its been few mths since I last patron Gmarket merchants.. i have noticed that there's some changes to the Gmarket.

However, the changes are great. Ok now..... i hope u have attend the Gmarket event from 14 Oct - 13 Nov 2010. ...

http://english.gmarket.co.kr/challenge/neo_sangsul/html_sangsul/plan_display_69875.asp?sid=69875&pos_shop_cd=EN&pos_class_cd=90000010&pos_class_kind=T

See the 2 Download buttons? U click on it everyday to enter in this draw to win some discount coupons... well, today i pressed both of them and its 'Sorry, you didnt win' or something like that. When I click it again, the above msg was shown 'You've already done. Apply tomorrow please'. So there you go, tomorrow after 0000 then can click the 2 buttons!!!

Ok so this is shown when I click on the following day..... *drum drum*

Weee Weeeee :) I won a 10% discount coupon for purchase of more than 15,000Won but the expiry date is 15 Nov

Gmarket Purchases AGAIN!!!!

Hi Hi! This is my previous Gmarket orders......

See this first.... this is the previous's previous order hahahaa. Too lazy to post it up. But here it is. Just 1 pic only. Still lazy to post the rest up.








Latest Purchase
I have bought 2 tops from this seller. This sweater is really not suitable for me. :( I forgot where I placed it. Need to dig for it.

First time getting Shoes!

This is a pair of nice shoes! Too bad too small for my big size feet. My size is 38-40 depending on the cutting of the shoes. This is size 245 and i think more suitable for EUR size 37. I passed this to my mum and she said its just right for her. I am not sure if she's wearing it now. I shall check with her again. The quality of the shoes is great and its MADE IN KOREA!!!

Another gamble for clothes

This is another sweater I have bought but it doesnt look nice on me. So its hiding somewhere also. No idea where is it now. LOL. messy person always cant seem to find her things.



Bag and Wallets!

My favourite!!!

This is calfskin leather bag. Made in China and price isnt cheap. Abt SGD$100+ i think. My mum said its pretty. Thought of using this for the holiday trip but its heavy and compartment cant put in much things (including my polaroid). So i end up carrying this when i'm out for shopping or work.

The coin purse is also calf skin. Nice. The red teddy bear is a gift from seller! :P

This is a lambskin Gold wallet! The black purple purse on the top right is a key pouch. Cute!

Skin79 BB Cream

I used the BB cream for my tour and they really brighten my face. However, some of the colors are rather dark for me. I'm pretty fair. I can use Korea 01 color



Korean traditional mask

MASKS!!!! But i havent use them yet. Its natural and cheap. However, instructions is in Korean and I need someone to help me with the translation. I want to have korean's lady translucent skin. hehehehee

I have chosen green bean, algae i think and cucumber. They gave me mung beans as the sample.

Cosmetics n skincare! I split my order into 2 and get 2 sets of free gifts! I tried the falsies on the coach bus and end up missing 1 of the pair. Oppssss. Mascara is good!

Gmarket .... steamer, Chanel Inspired, Wallets & Facebook!!!

Steamer

I've been debating if i should spend 500+ on a Panasonic Cold & Hot Nano Steamer. To be accurate, its $599. So expensive

Then I saw this......... looks COOL!

I thought its hot water but it stated as 'Face Cool'. I think this is to be placed inside fridge and just put on yr face to cool down yr face. Great after u extract those blackheads and dirts from yr pores!


http://www.gmarket.co.kr/challenge_eng/neo_search/search_total.asp?SearchClassFormWord=goodsSearch&keyword=face+steamer

and the price is cheap!!!!


--------------------------------------------------------------------------

This is the range of Chanel Inspired Makeup Pouches. Dont they look cute and at a cheap and affordable price? This is from my favourite seller @ Gmarket!

Coin Purse - LV Inspired

Ok. this is what I have bought from the same seller. I have bought 1 red leather bag (costed abt 79000Won) , the pink coin purse and the sheepskin wallet listed below.


The pink coin purse is really cute! Dont have to spend $200+ on a Louis Vuitton Venis Coin Purse. This is enough and has slight "bling" in the leather.

Sheepskin Wallet

I really love this wallet! Its very nice and the crystals *bling bling* is my favourite.

The quality of this wallet and brand is great. I have bought 2 earlier from the same seller and now I am buying this even though the others are still new.

Recently for my trip to Paris, I have bought 2 Chanel Bags. One of them is a lambskin. The quality is comparable!!! This sheepskin wallet leather is of very good material too. Soft and looks classy. I dont think I even need to buy a Chanel wallet. This is much more better.

Some girls whom have metallic Chanel handbags are complaining that the metallic part has been wear off after use. This wallet only have the edge wear off (metallic gold coating) but the wallet surface is still as new although I have keep it together with pens and keys.

So seriously, i think the quality of this wallet is really very high! :P

I am not sure if I should buy another one for 'standby' because I really like this wallet. I like it more than the other 2 I bought earlier.

Gmarket on Facebook!



Gmarket has been on facebook for quite some time. I didnt know about that and only join the group in Nov or Late Nov.

Although I've been a member of the Gmarket Facebook, i didnt read things up until recently.

If you can see from here....... someone asked abt Best Brand Ginseng etc.
Another Qn (not shown here) is about shampoo shipment to be shipped outside of Korea

The Gmarket officer is really extremely helpful!

With my orders of wallets and bag, I have also bought few bottles of masks. However, its powder masks and I received a Korean instructions. The seller is unable to provide English instructions and asked me to refer to that paper.

Now, I am going to scan that piece of paper and upload to facebook. Then I will ask Facebook Gmarket staff to help me with the translation! Its even easier than leaving them a msg on Gmarket site.

Of course if u have any disputes or qns regarding yr shipment, payment etc, going back to the gmarket korea website seem a wiser choice.

I really like Gmarket because its like a big family. I have tried Jshoppers etc but Gmarket is my favourite!

Too bad they dont ship Samsung robots out! Otherwise I will have a 'korea maid' LOL.

So what are you waiting for? Join Gmarket on Facebook!!!

Check Overseas Shipping Fees

This is what I do to check my International Fee Order (After Domestic Delivery has completed).



You will see "International Shipping Fee Completed"
Click any of the url (things you have bought)...





As I ordered plenty of things, this page is rather long. It will have the individual orders (split into 2 links if i have 2 orders combined together)... just scroll down the page until you see this


"Overseas Shipping Fee Infor"


In this case, Estimated shipping weight is 20.40kg, Actual is 2.54kg and I was charged 31,000Won for the shipping

Right now, Pending status. If u plan to use the balance for yr 2nd combine order, my suggestion is to buy more things from different sellers for the 1st order. So by the time the $ has been transfer to Cash Balance, u are still able to place 2nd order with the Cash Balance and combine shipping for both orders.

My Gmarket Loots! Love Gmarket!

EMS BOX

Whats inside the Grey Bag...

Excluding the one with stickers "Fragile" etc. Thats from another seller.

I thought this book looks big from the pic but well IRL, its rather small. Guess thats what Cash Book supposed to be! Walk around with it and jot down the expenditure hehehe

The quality is good and wordings in English

Cash Book II - Money Matters

Of course money matters! Thats why I didnt spend more than 8,000Won on a cash book hahahaha

Anyway, this is really cute! The wordings are in English and they have pics too. This is purchased from another seller as the one selling the 'Her Table" seller does not have this. I will say this is the better one and at lower price!

I bought so much things that I cannot really remember where I buy them from! But i still have to refer back to my Gmarket order so that I can give a proper, decent reviews on the items purchased......

OHHHHHHHH I remember now! The lipsticks and the mini handphone strap (anna sui inspired) are free gifts from the seller that take the LONGEST time to ship my items out. #$^%&@!%#!@)!

:P

While the rest of the items are already "Delivered", this seller still didnt send out my items until the 5th day of the order. Initially I am worried that the order didnt really go through because I have no money? hahaha

NEHHHHHH...... this is never the issue. Opps... Not that rich but no need to worry about this.

The reason is because I have placed 2 seperate order of 1 pc each for the luggage version2. I am worried that the seller might give me 1 instead of 2 if i ordered under the item. So i seperate them. Its safer.

Once bitten twice shy...... so ever since the earrings nightmare, I am worried about ordering same item for > 1 Qty

Oh yes, items from this seller is not in a box but come individually packed in the EMS box. I think they have shipped in a big box and Gmarket or the Korea PO guys helped me unpacked the box and just put the items into my EMS box. All of them are individually sealed by bubble wrap.

I have ordered 2x Version pack2 luggage organiser , 1 shoe plastic organiser and the 'Her Table' cash book. I think total is about 30,000Won because the version pack2 costed 9800Won *each*

Oh yes I also have one Luggage tag from this seller if I didnt rem wrongly. Its right at the end of this post. Lazy to bring up the pics.

Freebies: Handphone strap is a mirror! Lipstick is a pen! 귀여운!

Overall, I wont mind ordering from the seller again (although shipped out 5days later) if I dont find the items I want elsewhere... and also they have decent freebies too!!! :P

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Freebies II

I LOVEEEEEEEE freebies. hehe

This is another set from another seller. I think I spend >50,000Won from this seller?

Ibought a lot of things from this seller. I bought few polaroid albums, Camera Bag (20,000 or 21,000Won) etc from this seller.

These are the freebies............

a sticker, 3x5" "album" , a pen and a cookies!

The cookies is a mirror! 귀여운! 귀여운!........

Thanks to the order of pics I have taken in my camera, otherwise I cannot remember which freebies come with which items. There's so many things to check and I have to print out my order, translate them in English and tick the items as I go through them. Luckily I learnt basic korean. PHEW

Fav Seller!

This is one of my fav seller. I have spend about 20,000Won or so and the seller gave me 2 free gifts!

WHats more... the seller dont charge shipping at all! Ship the items promptly. A*** Seller. I have bought Bernice stickers, Travel Book and the Jewellery DIY stamp from this seller.

Polaroid Accessories!

Yippeeeeeee my items are here! These are the ones I'm most looking forward to. and also scare if the color isnt the same as shown on the site. Luckily, they look almost the same as on screen. PHEW!!!

I have ordered 3 different sets of Polaroid items from this seller. With different add on items.

Each order has 1 strap, 1 Disney Character Film, 1 normal Pack Film and 2 batteries... Another order has additional 10rolls of stickers added to it. The seller also packed 2 additional stickers for me. I think he missed out 1 more. Coz he packed one sticker with each seperate order.

The red strap is rather dull in real life. Wish its brighter red and Not this red.....

The hot pink strap is really HOT PINK!!! (Sheesh....blogspot dont have a decent pink font) Very pretty! Going to match that with my Polaroid camera. I will use the blue with my Lumix camera. The strap is pretty expensive at 7800Won or so. Handmade and made in Korea

Like I have mentioned, the exchange rate of Korean Won to USD and BACK to SGD is not that good compared to us paying Korean Won. We end up paying *more* SGD and the polaroid stuffs are not that value for $$$. HOWEVER, We dont have such pretty straps in SG (or because I didnt do my homework).

The expiry dates of the Disney character is 2010 or 2011. Cannot rem. I only remember the normal mini films is 2011 03 Expiry date.

2nd Polaroid Accessories Seller

The free gifts! But plsssss the hamburger case is NOT the free gift. I wish it is. Boohoo. The Instax coupon I have no idea what thats for.

I bought a 50Films pack from this seller at 32,000Won or so. Add another few dollars for 10 Pens, 3 Popcorn pens and 2 Instax Bags.

The expiry date of the Films is 2011 04

Original Instax Hardcover Bag, Pola Bag.

The bag is about this color (above pic) but just slighter darker... but still not as dark as the pic below. I wish its more glossy and like the color below. Workmanship of this Pola Bag is SO SO. Looks dry, as if going to break any time soon and the sewing at the corner.... the threads came out. Zzzz no wonder it gets pretty lousy rating at the 'standalone' selling post. However, this is already OOS so well, still ok lah dont be fussy. Still pretty bag.

The blue instax bag is really good and at 10,000 or 11,000Won only! SG i didnt see them selling this. Too small market for instax.

Polaroid Albums

These are from the seller I received the cookies freebies. Nice right. The 'Good morning' album is 4x6" whereas the others are polaroid mini albums. Cute cuteeeeeee!!! And u know, the girl is 'red riding hood'. and i HATE wolf so I didnt choose the albums that have wolf inside. hehehhe black wolf. Nehhhhhhhhh

cant imagine buying Japanese stuffs off Korea's site.

This album is good but the top left hand corner is like stained with glue. Dark color. Looks dirty. Wasted.

Luggage Tag

This is the writing pad. Free gift from the Fav seller I mentioned earlier.

Oh yea, no more 100,000Won from Gmarket. Its 50,000Won. think must say some mushy words right.......

I love Gmarket!!!

but Gmarket is bad for wallets. opps..........."blacklisted"
