ASOS

People buying from Asos.com from Singapore pleas do take not that changing yhe currency to US dollars or Australian (AUD) dollars will increase the price by at least 5 dollars when converted. shop with the great Britain pound (GBP). it is cheaper for the same product. doubtful? try this for yourself open currency converter and convert the same item when listed as GBP and US or AUD dollars. viola!

wanderwit.com not bad for shopping. Only accept fund transfer which are the safest.

i think nowadays we must be careful with online shopping. i've tried tarazz and so far so gd.:s7:
Yes I do agree! Even though online shopping is very common now it's not very safe. I personally usually shop from the big name online sites which have more reputation and credentials. For instance, I often buy my books from Acmamall.com, Bookdepository, Amazon, online shopping sites with more credentials and reliability.

Topmost reason why I don't like doing shopping online unless they're from credible suppliers. I got scammed too many times and they're really really depressing. You work all day,blood and sweat then all boils down to that.

It's really scary of how many online scams there are.. I've seen and experienced some myself. Try to go for the more reliable sites.

Best to either use paypal or credit card. So you can still dispute if things go wrong

oh... is it ok to use this one?

Hello... its sad to see how people are getting scams every time.. shouldn't buy stuffs without payment verified methods.

I always shop at asos.com, forever21.com, cheesyfriday.com and more etc...

as for blog shops... hmmm. its hard to purchase as they don't normally use paypal... so its hard right if anything goes wrong
