"Things that I don't learn once and continue to falter".
Well,
yes, it is the same story. First, it was the most fraudelent BagItToday also known as India Today Book Club(ITBC), then it was
MakeMyTrip. Now, inspite of my "gyaans", her highness's binge of online
shopping with FashionAndYou.com continued and today it ended with much
of bitterness.
Okay, lets me make it more simpler:-
Ever
wondered why we post our best photos on Facebook & Orkut? If you
know why, then you might very well understand why we should not be
buying things online especially from sites like FashionAndYou.com
When girls spend a fortune of time to get ready for shopping and
take a millennium to choose "a dress", I do not get the logic of why they
would buy something online based on a set of photographs. If you trust
me the way I trust my photographer friends- Rahul and Alvin can make
even a rusty bicycle look great or a simple fisherman look like he has
the best profession in the world.
So, the story is that her highness had ordered a set of garments
worth INR 1300/ and when it arrived, she thought it was not even worth
mopping the floor with. The advertised photograph portrayed it to be something else.
Then, we called the customer care who ofcourse
refused to accept it. So, I am blogging here just to let you all know
that we have to be wise, especially when shopping online.
FashionAndYou like any other online store strives for maximum profit
and though you might get good order sometimes, there is an equal chance
that you may not like the next stuff that you order. Also, I dont
believe the prices are competitive. They always have an additional
burden of shipping charges.
My simple advice , "Avoid FashionAndYou.com. Avoid going blind with the bling"
