PRE-ORDER BAGS.

in #hive-1057273 years ago

I've been this kind of person with a huge fashion sense, as a matter of fact I love hand bags so much. I use a bag to literally everywhere I go to avoid misplacing any of my belongings especially my phone and it became part of me.

I have so many bags and I never really bought any myself. I got a bag as a Christmas gift, birthday gift, from an aunt when she returned from vacation and so many others. The bags comes in different types too like school bag, shoulder bags, hand bags and even mini bags and purse. I didn't even know what the prices of bags were like in the market as I've never bought any myself, virtually all I have are gifts from friends and family.

One day I saw a handbag advertised by a whatsapp vendor, they were on preorder ie you have to pay for the bags and have them shipped within a specified time.The bags looked very nice and affordable and the price attached was actually worth it.

So I decided to patronize her, picked 2 of different colours for myself and my sistet as I felt she would love it too so I decided to surprise her. She even gave a little discount so I went ahead to make payments, finalized with the transactions and relaxed waiting for my bags to arrive.

To cut the long story short, it was "What I ordered VS What I got". The bags looked nice and lovely on the displayed photos but I got something totally different and wasn't worth it. They were Aba made and the quality was too low, I felt terrible and nearly dropped a tear. It's not even nice to dash my little sister in secondary school, that's how bad it is.

I couldn't attack the vendor cause she actually preordered it,didn't expect it to be that way. So since then I learnt my lessons,to never order goods on pre-order. I make sure I ask for life pictures to see what it looks like and atimes offer to pay on delivery to avoid a repeat of such again.

When I have all the time in the world, I enter market to see, touch and feel it myself then decide whether to buy or not cause I hate nonsense. I flung the bags actually otherwise I would have snapped both to show y'all.

That is one problem with pre-orders, which is why most prefer to go into a physical market.

Exactly, I go to market and buy by myself

My hairdresser experienced this too but her case was worse. She had bought them to sell to her customers. They were all ugly and I would never be caught with such 😄

I have to see live pictures if you holding it before I buy, this has been me lately 😅
