Sekedar cerita / curhat mengenai drama saat beli Single terbaru BLACKPINK - How You Like That, sekedar disclaimer, ini curhat aja pengalaman, bukan menyalahkan si pihak toko karena ga ada yang salah di sini, cuma miskomunikasi aja. Kalau rajin nonton Unboxing Video aku di Youtube, mungkin sudah pada tahu toko langganan, tempat aku beli KPOP Album untuk unboxing video. Nah pas bulan maret kalo ga salah, YG ada announce kalo Blackpink bakal rilis album, full album untuk tahun ini. Dan sebagai Blink, yang ga pernah beli albumnya Blackpink, tapi selalu beli album IZ*ONE (LOL), merasa ini saatnya beli album Blackpink. Nah, si toko langganan ini buka EPO (Early Pre Order) untuk Album Blackpink, iya dia tulis ALBUM BLACKPINK. Jadi aku ikutan early PO, keuntungannya cuma nanti pas rilis, dia akan dahulukan pengiriman (katanya) dan juga buat nabung deh jauh-jauh hari. Seperti kalian tahu, banyak kejadian setelah Maret berlalu : 1. COVID, ini bikin pengiriman dari Luar Negeri jadi berantakan. 2. BLACKPINK dan YG memutuskan untuk release single, album belakangan. Gabungan dari ke-2 ini menyebabkan peristiwa selanjutnya. 1. EPO Album diubah jadi EPO Single HYLT Jadi ternyata si toko memutuskan untuk semua yang udah ikut EPO Blackpink yang senotabene katanya ALBUM, diarahin jadi SINGLE. Dan aku sudah tanya kalo maunya album gimana, karena mereka bilangnya album awalnya, yah deposit buat PO dianggap hangus. Daripada sayang hangus, aku mutusin untuk ya udah ikut aja deh untuk SINGLE HYLT. Ternyata Single yang rilis udah dari Juni, padahal beda 2 minggu dari IZ*ONE nyampenya lama. Oh ya, mereka sempet nanya mau yang dr Supplier atau Withdrama, beda bonus aja. Aku pilih bonus dari Supplier berupa 1 set photocard dan 1 group photo. 2. Drama saat Pelunasan Dan baru hari Jumat kemarin (14/08), barang di announce di IG mereka sudah sampai tetapi yang DHL. Dan di sini aku bingung, kayanya maren di msg Shopee, cm ditanya mau bonus yang mana bukan pengiriman apa. Jadi aku msg ke toko nya nanya, aku yang EPO dan ga ditanya pengiriman masuk mana, asumsi aku masuk yang regular / EMS. Apa bedanya EMS dan DHL? DHL bayar lebih mahal agar sampai lebih cepat. Walau ternyata setelah dicek di sosmed, banyak yang udah punya singlenya dari 3 minggu lalu. Jadi yah ga cepat-cepat amat. Besoknya (15/08) dibales via Shopee Msg, kalo pelunasan sudah dibuka. Di sini yah aku pikir karena dimsg untuk pelunasan, berarti aku boleh donk lunasin. Ya udah deh, ga pikir panjang lunasin. Eh siangnya, mereka msg "Kakak kok lunasin, kakak kan EMS?" 3. Ajukan Pembatalan Pesanan Ya udah deh karena merasa salah, aku langsung ajuin pembatalan pesanan, daripada dibilang ngambil slot orang. Dan aku jelasin, mereka ga pernah nanya aku mau pengiriman via apa, jadi pas dimsg boleh lunasin yah lunasin.. Salah ga? Kalo menurut pribadi, sih aku bener. Toh udah nanya kemaren, aku ikut apa dan ga dibales. (Yah mereka juga pasti sibuk) Jadi setelah ajukan pembatalan, mereka ada msg lagi sorenya, kalo ternyata setelah di packaging, ada lebih, jadi mereka nawarin aku masih mau ga. Pembelaan mereka soal DHL dan EMS, mereka mang ga ada msg satu2, tp announce di IG, kalo ada yang mau lebih cepat bisa bayar extra dimasukkin pengiriman via DHL. Aku bales, kalo ada extra boleh tapi kalo ga ada jg gpp, ga mau ambil slot orang. 4. Drama Pengiriman Dan ternyata ga dibales, walau status ONLINE. Yah dimaklumin aja mereka pasti sibuk bongkar barang, ngepack dan kirim. Hari Minggu pagi nya (16/08), aku ada msg lagi nanya, jadi dapat ga extranya atau lanjut batal. Karena pengajuan pembatalan juga belum direspon oleh mereka. Shopee ada tulis kalo ga direspon, nanti otomatis batal dan uang balik ke pembeli. Ampe siang, aku cek status masih pengajuan pembatalan pesanan. Hingga.. Pas jam 5 sore, aku ditelpon oleh kurir instan (Gojek), padahal ga merasa pesan apa-apa. Pas dijawab, langsung orang dari toko nya nanya, ini kak S yah yang ada order BlackPink... kakak kok pesen gojek ambil ke toko, kita blom aturin. Aku cuma bengong. Yang bisa manggil kurir kan mereka, selaku pihak penjual bukan pihak pembeli. Status order aja terakhir taunya adalah masih pengajuan pembatalan pesanan. Pas aku bilang aku ga pesan. Pihak toko nya panik waduh gimana nih gimana, dan abang kurir nya cuma ketawa ketawa. Selesainya, barang tetap dikirim tapi tanpa label apa-apa. Dan selesai lah si drama dan unboxing video. Note : pas aku cek notifikasi setelah barang sampai, ada notifikasi kalo pihak toko menolak pembatalan pesanan. Jadi memang mereka yg menolak pembatalan pesanan, tapi aku sendiri kurang tahu apakah itu langsung masuk pengiriman, atau pihak mereka tidak sengaja klik pemanggilan kurir atau emang ada miss, mau manggil kurir untuk klien yang lain, malah kepanggilnya aku punya.. Hahaha.. Kesimpulan :
Ikut PO pas udah ada announcement aja, udah ada versi, biar ga salah PO lagi. Hahaha.. Oh ya, karena memang niat nya untuk beli album, jadi Single 'How You Like That' yg tadi mikirnya mau aku jual lagi, aku putuskan untuk di Giveaway aja. Yang mau ikut Giveaway nya : 1.

First, I'm not a sneakerhead. I'm just regular woman who wants to travel in comfort, with a touch of style. I was a fan of Converse on my college days, I still have one pairs that I bought 9 years a go, I was going to use it but then, I don't know, maybe because I was staring my 2018 vision board on my lock screen or constantly watch Safiya Nygaard's youtube , unconsciously, I want those Adidas. And like a cheapskate, I'm not ready to spend those money on sneakers that probably I will use rarely. Some of Adidas are made in Indonesia, and I know these country, and sneakily I searched on my online shop application, I found out some store claimed they sell Adidas Original, with cheap price. They said it's original, and got it from "trusted connection". I was longing to one store, just called it F Store, with hundreds of testimonials, claimed F Store is in fact, selling Original. It also got branded Mall, that mean trusted and selling original in these online shop application that I used. When I was going to buy, I was confused with the size. I have my Nike Shoes in size 41 with 26 cm length. My Converse in size 40 with 25.5 cm length. And F store was selling size 40, ready in stock, but claimed it's 25 cm length. I asked if they're going to restock size 40 2/3, and they said there's nothing yet. My guts said no, but my brain said just do it, we could do those ice bag trick or just wear it with double thick socks in couple of days. So, I bought it. And like a fool, it's too small. I checked it if it was original, and yes everything sign for original. I followed everything from these site.
Oh yeah, in Indonesia, they sell it with the term "BNIB" or "BNWB". BNIB or Brand New In Box, claimed it's all original, the shoes and the box. While, BNWB or Brand New With Box, claimed it's original but came with a new box. F store claimed it was BNIB, but I don't think so. The sole was cheap, probably F store use a fake sole, but everything other than that was cool. Some testimonials said it was probably store rejected. I was fine, because hey, all I need is style. But when your feet hurt so much, you just cannot bargain style anymore, shoes are shoes, you wear it for walk freely and comfortably, not hurting your feet. Believe me I tried, used freezer trick twice, use thick socks all day, I wear it on my house and offices, even during my sleep (unconsciously my feet were hurting at night, and I kick the shoes out), used hair dryer trick everyday and microwave the shoes, but nope. You can see the line where my feet squeeze in it. After I bought my Samsung S9 Plus (every photos in here taken by S9 Plus), I received a Sneaker Store gift voucher from Samsung, with whooping IDR 500.000 (US$35) value. I took it as a sign, that these voucher cover my loss from those questionably fake original superstar, and I need new shoes. I went to the store and believe me, I was so determined to buy new Adidas Shoes, I went to their two branches to check the stock. In the second store, I got my Stan Smith. When the salesperson told me, they only have size 40, my heart break a little. But I tried it anyway, it was perfect. Yes, it's a little bit too fit, the sales said with thick socks, it might hurt, but at least Stan Smith don't have a rubber part like Superstar, that made my big feet hurt. I buy it, and these Stan Smith is currently the most expensive shoes I bought. Went home and directly took a stroll around neighborhood with my dog, my feet is happy. I love Superstar, still, but I hate the rubber part that made my feet hurt. Above, I put it side by side the shoes, questionably Adidas Superstar from F Store vs Original Store-Bought Stan Smith. Both shoes are size 40, but look the different length, of course my feet is happy inside Stan Smith, it's longer than the Superstar. Also, you can see the box, it's totally different.
I know both are different type of shoes, Superstar vs Stan Smith. But these is my true experience. I'm the type of woman that said to my friend, not to buy refurbished / second smartphone because it's questionable, but then I still fall to cheap "original". These is not my first time buy cheap original from online store, I bought my first MK Selma bag also cheap and from unofficial online store, I wore it to MK Store and the staff compliment my choice, meaning my bag is original, unless it was sarcasm that I didn't get it. My learn from these experience :
Talking about life lesson that I learned on hard way, it's money. All my 20 years I never save any money that I have, yeah, it's true. I spent all my money on comics, books, games, movies, clothes, anything. I even lost some money, just because I kept it recklessly. So after I graduated, I don't have any money, anything at all in my account. Which kind of bad, you're 20 and you're completely broke. I started small business, selling clothes online, but who am I, I'm not fashionista, it didn't make much profit, now there's still some leftover clothes, which I would never wear myself. What am I thinking then. I didn't have insurance either. Now, I have two. One, I opened it because I was persuaded by the sales marketing. Second, I opened it because the tragedy in my family. If you read it on my past posts, my brother passed away so sudden, he didn't have insurance either, even though he wanted to open it, probably most insurance company will reject him. I was thinking I was still young and healthy, so I open it, with a simple mind, if I got sick, I have health insurance to cover it.
My friend know me as online shopaholic, because I love shops online. I even shops so much that I changed my delivery services so the delivery agents won't suspect anything. LOL. I know I spent too much money. But don't worry, I have my strategy. Every month, when I get my income. I took half of my money and put it on my save account, where everything will get auto-debit into my other account, which I can't access until one year. Everything put directly into insurances or deposito. I give myself shopping budget only in one account, so if I spent it, I'm done. Nothing left. Now, I know what is so important of saving, investment and assets. I want to teach my kid from small, if it needed, or put my kid on insurance from birth. I know I'm still behind, I still have my goal to buy house on my own. #blogeverydayinFEB |
