  • My Best Buy World Shopping Diary

    5.06.2013

    see something you like?

    It's been a hectic weekend for everyone (elections) and I bet on Monday most of you are away right? Well since I worked from home, I thought I would just share about the goodies I ordered from http://my.bestbuy-world.com/. Remember my first post where I was quite skeptical about this site selling all these awesome beauty brands at a low price? I thought I'll give it a go and see how they fare in terms of how easy it is to shop at their site, customer service, delivery and the product quality that arrived in my hands.


    so many promotions going on best buy world

    With the variety of brands available on their site, I couldn't help but also spot their promotional banners (it's just too darn attractive to miss out). I think while it's good to have promotions, too many can make a shopper confused haha. One just needs to "study" the promotions to take full advantage of it. For me I already missed out on the gift wrapping promotion because I made my orders way earlier. 

    Is Shopping Easy on Best Buy World?

    register an account & login

    you can shop by category, brand, promotions or new arrivals

    I find clicking brands easier :)

    but I'm also interested in knowing what's new?
    (and what not to miss out for this month)

    I clicked Clinique, so I'm browsing the product list

    here's what I have decided on after a while

    before I checkout, I checked my cart list
    (don't want to buy wrong items! or quantity)

    my account has my details which is reflected
    during check out, just make sure the details
    are right before you continue


    this place has awesome payment methods!
    (cash on delivery, bank transfer & credit card payment)

    if you choose bank transfer there's a guide to follow

    I'm asked to confirm my order
    (my deliver is free for purchases above RM150)

     my order is processed & I get a copy of it in email

    most important of all the delivery details!

    This is my first time shopping on this site and I can say it's fairly easy without needing to read a guide or the how to section. Through a few clicks and easy identification of buttons to click, you'll soon have your order confirm and processed. What I love most is the payment method option which gives you some flexibility if you don't own a credit card or a bank account. However those payment methods are subjected to if it's applicable for delivery. I am so dam happy to see there's a detailed listing of their delivery time and locations covered. For me delivery is always the most frustration part of online shopping! you don't know when your package will arrive or it doesn't arrive as its stated.

    package arrived after 2 days

    everything delivered correctly & in good condition

    When I received my package the first thing I did was tore it open like a barbarian. First thing I see is a Dior box (jumps for joy). Alright I know it's not really Dior because normally people recycle boxes when they package goods for delivery. I am all for recycling and I practice this myself too. This also cut down on costs for packaging which will be on the customer (you just don't know you're paying for it). I made a quick check to ensure all the items I ordered is correctly given. I also checked for defects. You can get an exchange or a refund within 7 days from Best Buy World if there's a defect. Everything is in good hands :D and for the final spot check, I inspected the products to see if it's authentic (HAHAHAHA). I can safely say I know how to spot a fake item from an original through my years of Petaling Street window shopping. You can see a lot of fake MAC cosmetics, fragrances and branded apparels there.

    Note: While these are real beauty products from reputable brands, they may not come in mint condition or in packaging of their own due to the nature of their existence. My package was in good condition though :) but the items didn't come in their own packaging and labels were not available to check for manufacturing dates. However no sign of out of date can be spotted (color change, chemical scent, faded packaging color, oil formations).

    am I seducing you much?

    The purposes of mine shopping on Best Buy World is to do a mini giveaway for the month of May. Just something to announce that June will be my blog anniversary and I'm planing a party (if I have the budget) or a bonanza giveaway haha. We will see how it turns out! Stay tune for my candilicious giveaway where I will be gifting a Clinique lippy to 4 readers and a Estee Lauder pouch + eyeshadow kit.

    3. But without the manufacturing sticker really freaks me out LOL! Why can't they just put the sticker on? (To make me feel safe hahaha! )

      1. It depends on which product you're buying I guess. Normally deluxe size items don't have stickers if u notice when it's given by the brand counters. If they come in the cute boxes maybe got. The samples in beauty boxes also don't have labels.

    6. Happy Blog Anniversary in advance^^. having manufacturing date is important to me since i tend to hoard makeup for a very long time.

      Replies
      1. yes very important ^_^ buy the actual size products would be better for keeping long time. Most sample/travel size dun come with expiry/manu date :(

        Delete
    7. I wish even deluxe samples would come with expiry/mfg date though. Not like those things don't expire just cos they're smaller right haha I wish these big companies would step up.

      I've always wanted to try Strawberrynet though. Have you? It seems similar at least in that they have such an array of brands

      ReplyDelete
      Replies
      1. Yes I wish too.. sigh maybe should petition out to brands that sample or not, dates must be included! regardless if it's just for trying after receiving.

        I have tried Strawberrynet to buy Stila products, but their products (actual sizes) don't even have labels. I wonder if overseas practice this way? Msia products have manu labels. Another way is to read codes, but sometimes hard to guess codes.

    17. I know this if off topic but I'm looking into starting my own weblog and was wondering what all is required to get set up? I'm assuming
      having a blog like yours would cost a pretty penny?
      I'm not very internet savvy so I'm not 100% positive. Any suggestions or advice would be greatly appreciated.
      Many thanks
