I've been an online shopping fanatic for the past 2yrs, spending an average of $20-$300 PER DAY online & the first ever utter disappointment online shopping experience is from Branche-Avenue Wondering Why?? The story goes like this..............
I was browsing thru sgflea & chanced upon this dress which i THOUGHT was cheap & nice so i emailed Branche-Avenue to check on the sizing etc... From their advertisement the pit-to-pit (ptp) is from 14-19'' which means can fit up to a UK 14 (by right) so i went ahead to place an order after they cfmed tt it can fit a UK 12 =) Why UK 12?? Coz i dun like to be dumpling....

(u may wanna take note of how dishonest sellers look like)
2days later i received the dress.....
By lookin at the advert i'm SUPPOSED to ASSUME it can stretch up to 19'' right??? So does my ptp matter?? Alright for tt matter i'm gg to tell everyone my ptp is 15.5'' BUT if measure the fullest part of the ''assets'' its 17" & I CANT FIT INTO THE DRESS...
Laid flat - ptp is 14'' (unstretched)
Laid Flat - MAXIMUM ptp is 16'' (stretched)
So i emailed them again telling them about the 3'' difference.... & they gave a F**KING RIDICULOUS EXCUSE like ''diff cloth used to make diff colours -_-''' I'll be able to accept a variance of 1-2CM but 3'' leh tts like 8cm lo.... Their 1st entry was 6th December 08 till nw almost 6mths, chased only 11 feedbacks (they chase by asking u to leave them one after receiving & i left a negative but it is screened means nobody can see) & what pisses me to the ultimate is (extract of the email is as stated below)
- Therefore, we can't help doubting about the measurements you gave us about yourself.
- Therefore it is only right that you bear full responsibility for your own mistakes for not checking out the measurements (or measured ur own Ptp wrongly) (the only mistake i made was trusting the wrong seller)
- My friend who is a small UK6 just measured her Ptp and realised that her Ptp is in fact 15" already. In case you forgot, you asked about the fitting for a UK12 and now we honestly doubt that you are a Ptp 15". Because i personally know how thin my friend is and if she is able to fit into the piece she bought for us when having a Ptp of 15", you make us wonder why you can't. =(
-We swear we're really nice sellers but we have our limits as well, especially when we're dealing with dishonest and unreasonable customers (hahahahahhaha normally pp tt say they're nice are usually the sux-est)
Seriously diff pp have diff body so what makes them think a UK 6 cannot have broader shoulders then a UK 12 (why i say shoulders?? coz its directly above the armpit) & frankly for a dress i still think the fullest part of the breasts is more crucial coz tt stretchable part must at least go thru ur breasts before they can reach ur waist right?? Unless u can enter the dress from the top (may be applicable to tube dresses) -_-'''
I wanted to sell the dress but after much thoughts i've decided to keep it... hahahah to remind myself of the dishonest seller experience =) & i dun care whether they blacklist me as a buyer tmd blacklist la i'm gg to boycott them anyway... -_-''' Aarrgghhh!!~~
