It has become even easier and more addicted when I have my credit card. Gosh! Dealing with cash transaction there is always a limit and not everything that we wanted can be purchased by cash. Like international websites for instance. They only accept major credit cards and even if you have a Paypal it's even better! Just key in a password and voila the items are yours! How easy peasy lemon squeezy is that? Ok...why am I sounded so encouraging? No no ladies, please control your credit card usage ok?! *more like a note to self sebenarnya*
I have an habit of a typical shopaholic has, which goes by a mantra "buy now, think later". What a very bad motto to live by kan? Haha. I had made purchases from few famous websites like Dorothy Perkins & MNG. Also, since these days there are many personal shoppers especially those on Instagram making shopping are even easier and cheaper. By means of personal shopper is that, these people will search for items you wanted overseas where they can get it cheaper compared to Malaysia. Or even get for you things that not available here. Most famous products are apparels, handbag, shoes, jewelleries and stuff from the major brand *talking from the experience here*. Well, if you can get a way cheaper like hundreds or even thousands difference, I see there is nothing wrong with that right? Hahaha *evil laugh*
I'm becoming even more active in online shopping when I was pregnant. Oh my God, I just can't resist all the cute baby stuffs people sells in their Instagram. To me, everything is important and must haves for the baby! Most of the items also I bought without letting my husband knows because men just simply don't see how important those stuffs are. Men..pffffft. I also got my Medela breastpump online because it's cheaper by RM700 from those that are sells on Parkson or Mothercare. Gila lah kalau tak beli kan? To make the shopping even more convenient, most of the expensive items are offered payment instalment plan as to reduce the burden to dump big amount of money at one shot.
Only recently my online shopping experience was a bit bitter. When I bought apparels from Dorothy Perkins or MNG, the shipping cost aren't that expensive. Especially when you bought quite pieces, they even give you a free shipping. I bought my baby ring sling from Tula website and they charged me quite a price for the shipping. Still it was reasonable as the carrier is much more expensive. When recently I bought some stuffs from the Amazon US website, it knock me hard. The total of my stuffs were about RM240+ but the shipping cost was more than RM250+! Crazyyyyyy!!!
When I checked back why they charged me such amount, it turns out they used an expensive courier services like UPS and DHL. There goes my money...
Anyhow, I have received one of my 3 parcels yesterday. The reason I did my shopping at Amazon because I wanted to find my baby stuffs which some are not available in Malaysia. I also wanted to buy Jessica Alba's products from her Honest company. I have read many good reviews on this products and being me, of course I wanted to try them out!
As in the picture above, I bought Gump & Co. book as well. It's actually a continuation of Forrest Gump the novel. I tried to buy Forrest Gump novel as well but too bad, most of the seller don't ship it to Malaysia..hmpph. So, I bought Honest company powder and a balm. Turn out to be the powder is actually for baby's bum! But I put them on my face anyway. They smell so nice! And the balm is like our baby Vicks for baby's cold but they smell so much lighter. Yes, they are quite pricey. Good things don't come cheap ey?
More and more packages. Whenever I see a delivery guy at my office's door, I'd get a little butterflies in my stomach with excitement! I feel like opening them straight away but of course I can't because my desk is in front of customers. Nanti tak pasal ada orang ambik gambar lepas tu upload kat Facebook fitnah tak buat kerja pulak..lol.
I guess I'm such an online shopaholic. It's getting worse by day. Whenever I received parcels like this, i always worried that my husband going to question me although it's my own money :p so ladies, hands up if you're like me!!
