I'm still waiting....

I'm still waiting for my online purchases from wholesale-dress.net.. Its been 4 days now and my order status states that it is still "preparing". Sigh!! How long does it take to prepare? :-(
I'm so anxious to get my goodies! I'm not used to waiting this long to get my online items. I usually get them within the next 4 days- 5 days (from another website)!! I'm not going to comment anything more yet. I guess I will just have to wait..... please please send it to me soon... *fingers crossed*

Online Wholesale Clothing... anyone??

I started my own online clothing business a while ago.. going through the trouble of finding cheap and reliable suppliers is really a huge hassle and can be REALLY annoying! Firstly, because of my "kia su and kia si-ness", I wanted to find a supplier that can provide me cheap clothing with good quality and secondly, buying goods especially from China, I'm in huge risk of being scammed and cheated!

I finally found 2 websites that i had tried and tested.

1. http://www.unm-fashion.com/

Generally, the shopping experience with this website is not bad at all! Overall, the material and quality of the clothing is good. Its either you hit or miss. Be sure to look closely at the photos (if the models is standing in a weird position or have a bag to cover the clothes, just becareful. They are paid to WORK the clothes and they are doing a good job!)
Tips - If you are planning to buy in bulk to resell, try buying clothing material that is made of chiffon and avoid buying cottons items (it looks more expensive!)

In terms of price, items are really cheap. However, there is a CATCH!! Shipping is a KILLER!! On my first purchase, I spend USD 1,500 for 163 items - 146 on clothing and 17 accessories and shipping cost is about USD500!! That is 1/3 of the cost!! (Huge hole in my pocket *sobs*)

Tips- Make sure you average out the total cost to know your cost per item to see whether its worth buying!

They are really fast in preparing your orders and take only 3-7 days for the items to arrive!

In terms of sizes... hhhmmm.. its pretty small I shall say! If you are really tall, then dresses might be a problem for you! But if you dont mind converting a short tube dress into a shirt then just go ahead and buy! Oh well, with such cheap prices u get, can't expect too much! It's all about reinventing your closet!

2. www.wholesale-dress.net

They have more variety of clothing here - Men, Woman's stuff from dresses, accessories, lingerie, kinky costumes (haha! anyone interested in wearing a maid or nurse outfit?), kids stuff, pets. U name it!

In terms of prices - Its cheap but not that cheap depending on what u are purchasing. I tried ordering from this website a few days ago. I ordered most of the "on special price" just to test the quality and service of this company. I was planning to spend only USD 100 but guess what.. i ended up spending USD 250!!! Oh well....

Btw, i "googled" online to check whether they have promotional code and ... i found it!! Promotional code for wholesale-dress.net - simple enter this code 2ledsk44zxm when u check out and u get a discount on your total purchase.

Wholesale-dress Discount Code 2ledsk44zxm
