looking forward to go there!
More than 1 month has passed since the very controversial Estee Staff Sale. It’s a bit late but I’d ike to share my experience on that with you.
I asked someone to buy some things for me since I couldn’t make it to the sale. She said she charges additional RM10 per item, and that sounded reasonable enough so I agreed. I gave her a list of things to buy, out of which, she only managed to buy 1 item. She bought a few extra items and asked if I was interested (clinique perfumes). I bought 2 of those and paid a total of RM30 as ’service charge’ for all 3 items…or so I thought!
Later, after reading some of the comments on the actual prices of the items in this blog, I realized that not only did I pay an additional RM30 service charge to her but she also QUIETLY marked up the prices of the items by RM10-20 per item. It is my understanding that when you already charge the service charge, you DO NOT mark up the price of the items. And if you mark up the prices, you DO NOT impose the service charge. It’s either or, it cannot be both. And if you do mark up, you should have the DECENCY to inform the buyer and it is up to the buyer whether she still wants to buy the things.
Giving her the benefit of the doubt, I asked her whether she marked up the prices and she said NO, and told me that she could show me the receipt. When I asked to see the receipt, she had conveniently ‘lost’ it! But I was quite impressed when she told me that if I wasn’t happy with the price, I could return the things for a refund, but she will still charge me the service charge for her so-called time and effort. Ridiculous!
When I tried to arrange to meet her to return the things, she told me she has been posted to Langkawi til this year end. How convenient! But hey, even people who have been posted outstation will definitely come back to KL to visit their families right? Especially those who are married, and this lady definitely was married.
I smsed her almost every week asking if she was back for the weekend so that I could return the things, and the answer was always NO. Today I asked her the same question again and not only was the answer a NO, this time she told me that she doesn’t have have the money to return me anymore! What a dishonest and shady seller!
I already had a feeling from the beginning that I wasn’t going to get my money back, but I was still trying to give her the benefit of the doubt. So finally, after more than a month, she proved me right.
I have bought things from many people thru SnS before and the transactions have always been smooth, open and HONEST. This is the first time I’ve been cheated like this.
She has left me no choice but to write this to warn everyone to beware of this person. Her name is Nurul and her nick in here is Tubbies. Her e-mail address is n_hudakb@yahoo.com.
Please beware of this person. She is a very dishonest seller.
NOTE : Those of you equally unscrupulous sellers may think that marking up the prices on top of charging the service charge is alright and acceptable, as you have to cover for your parking, toll, incidentals, time, effort, whatever, etc. My point is, BE HONEST AND UPFRONT ABOUT IT and let us, the buyers decide. You can only do business with (in other words, CHEAT) us ONCE, as once you have been caught, rest assured there WON’T be a next time
Hi whizkey.
Thank you sooo much for sharing this with all.
And yea…why mark up and u’ve already charge for service?WTH?!?!?!
Haihhzzzzzzzzzz…..i believe she is still in KL…she’s juz making up all the crazy reasons not to return your money.URGH!
Hi Whizkey,
You are right. She is faking you. I found her profile in FB:
http://www.facebook.com/search/?q=n_hudakb%40yahoo.com.&init=quick#/nhudakb?ref=search&sid=533668710.2341676952..1
She is doing post-graduate in International Islamic University Malaysia. This is really bad considering she is a University student???? So sad…
Hey girls,
Yea imagine my reaction when I went thru the comments one by one in SnS and found out that the prices were lower than what I was charged? I was also aghast when she wanted to charge me RM10 per item as ‘cancellation fee’ if I return the items! sigh…so much for giving someone the benefit of the doubt. Never again!
May, you actually went and searched for her in FB..that’s so cute!
But how did you know that she’s a Uni student? Did you manage to view her profile?
RM10 per item? honestly, that’s absurd.
To mark up the price, that’s even sordid!
whizkey, nevermind…what goes around comes around and at times God pays cash.
So, chill ya sis.
Hey Whizkey,
Just take it as a lesson, as Fabulouschick said ‘what comes around goes around’, I believe one day there’s a pay back time…
I read through all the comments of EL warehouse sales, think it’s ridiculous where some of them selling off their invitation card for 50 bucks but they actually got it free. It’s reasonable by paying 20 or 30 bucks to cover up the tolls, petrol, effort of getting it and etc. I agreed with you that help buying is either marking up the price or charging service fee, but 5 bucks per item is reasonable coz usually we’re not only buying one item, 10 bucks per item is too much!
I went to this warehouse sales by getting free invitation card from a friend. My friend went there bout 9am, waited bout 30 mins to get in and she still managed to get some good stuffs for herself and me. While I got there bout 11am coz have to work at Sat morning, not much of good stuffs left. Managed to get EL special gift pack for 80 bucks, a handbag, a cosmetic pouch, an 6-colour eye shadows & blusher pallete,
*3 lipsticks, 3 nail colours and a mascara in it. Got also MAC Dazzleglass 2 lipgloss for 56 bucks and etc. It’s a fantastic deal!
I don’t mind to help buying next time if you are interested without charges coz I hate those people who taking advantage on honest and genuine buyer like us.
FabChick,
Yea, no point getting worked up about this. I’ve learnt my lesson…I won’t be so easy going next time! But I hate that she has left me no choice but to post this warning about her.
Vava,
Sounds like you got some great bargains from there!
And thanks for the offer, dear..that’s very sweet of you. I’ll definitely take you up on it next time. If you hear of any other warehouse sale (like Anna Sui, etc) do let me know as sometimes they don’t post it in SnS til it’s too late. My email add is whizkey@gmail.com
Dear Whizkey,
After reading your post and i think you should go all way out to hunt her down since you know she is a post-graduate student at International Islamic University Malaysia. It is not too difficult to do so.
Just go the nearest police station to make a police report first cause if you dun stop her now, she will use other nickname to cheat other ppl in future.
Clarice,
I think that is a bit too drastic to be calling the police, she didn’t really cheat Whizkey because Whizkey did get the items. The only bad thing she did was that she charged an absurdly high price for it.
That unfortunately is not a crime. All we can do is not to deal with these kind of ppl anymore. There have be at least some decent sellers around here…….
Hi Whizkey, sorry to hear your predicament and honestly thanks for warning us. Yah, I remember I read the post from Nurul that she could help to buy but will charge, that was why I didn’t want. To me, you are also going to the warehouse sale it’s only a little effort but to charge RM10 per item is really too much and to mark up the prices of the goods is honestly “dishonest” act of her, well there are lots of dishonest people out there, i have been cheated many times. I hope she’s reading all these posted about her. Well, if she wants to cheat people she would just created another e-mail address….
Clarice, Blossom,
Thanks for the suggestion, but it might not be worth the trouble making a police report or hunting her down. There’s a reply from her in the Estee sale page, but she’s just not getting my point. I feel like I’m going around in circles!
