Quite fast! 🙂 I think it cld have been faster IF there’s no labour day hols.. wahaha

The box –





Ripped open the box and the 1st thing i wanna try are the shoes!!! look at my new booties!!! stylo right? ;p and they have good soles!





Next pair …. good soles too! was kinda loose for me.. BUT fear not! each pair of shoes comes with a pair of padding… placed the padding in and it fits right!! feels super comfy too!!! ;p ( Buy a size bigger! It’s safer!)





now.. the super cute belt!! Heh.. it fits me right! but wrong size nvm.. look at the back of the belt – can adjust!






Last but not least… a group pic of all my stuff!!





I’m a happy girl and a very satisfied Gmarket buyer!! ;p

wah!! Just received an email tt my items are shipped!

Don’t play play – flight no. is provided as well!!! ;p

Rem I was fretting over shoes and how I can’t find what i want? haha… i actually wanted to join some sg sprees to get them BUT the shipping cost was just too high… sooo… I asked Liting (korean guru!)  for some suggestions and she intro me to Gmarket!! a wonderland for shopping I wld say! heh

Today, I spent the whole day trying to figure out how to shop at Gmarket… gee… it’s kinda confusing with all the stamps, option price, discounts and even mileage.So I read the info and how it worked… have been doing so far like the past few days… and FINALLY.. i made the purchase today.. phew…

Some things to note about Gmarket

1) Stamps/mileage are just like some ‘discounts’ for future usage.

2) The lowest price stated on the website is for SOME items only. Other items ( most of the time the nicer ones) are more ex, so the top-up price = ‘option price’

3) VERY IMPT! Rem to click the discount button if the shop has one! no click no discount! the discount is instant

4) Save more $$ by looking for a shop with FREE LOCAL SHIPPING ( Free shipping to the korea warehse)

5) Get ready pen and paper for shopping on Gmarket. Write down the item no. , item name ( in korean) and colour! So that you can put it in the cart. Yes! It’s like playing matching game for me

6) Finally, to double confirm if your matching skills is good… check using Google Translator. Just copy and paste the item, then google translates into English ( not accurate all the time BUT at least u sorta know what you bought)!

For payment, I used paypal > to ‘escape’ the international transaction fee. I really hope it works this way

As I’m still very much a noob for Gmarket, I am not sure how long the parcel will take to reach me or how much more they will charge me for international shipping. I’m keeping my fingers cross tt it will not be too much?? well, I will update on this when I gt more info.. heh

Total damage for 1st Gmarket shipping (includes domestic + international shipping): US$115

Total no. of items: 8 ( 2 pairs of shoes, 1 dress, 2 skirts, 2 tops, 1 belt)
