My Online Shopping Woes

Online shopping is good for people like me, who wish to buy something without having to weave through crazy traffic, or being BBQ under the scorching heat of hi noon, but at my own convi time. and all is well so far. until lately .....

The story goes like this : -

I was browsing one night, and saw this one bag, then I want it and after reading all the terms & conditions plus customer's review/comments etc, I wrote to the seller inquired of the availability, I nabbed it. see the processes is as simple as that, of which I figured it should be as simple as that as well, but here comes the best part.

Whatever had been written on the page claimed that " BUY WITH CONFIDENT" and whatever had been said appeared to me this seller is somewhat reliable. I gladly paid RM3+++ for the bag and may I say I complied to every shit bit of the T & C as shown on the page without asking any shit bit of bargain and btw, I never like to ask for a discount unless discount is given without promoting otherwise. I have done my part, now all I got to do is wait for the bag to be delivered to my doorstep. two days passes, nothing, wait another day still nothing. Figured I have the right to know the delivery status, because I have a life to run and somewhere to be, I cannot stay home and wait forever without knowing when would the item be reaching me. hence I made up my mind to write to the seller. My 1st e-mail to the seller, I got a lemon meaning no news. After checking with Ashley, she suggested try writing another e-mail, duly noted and I did it.

Finally, the seller replied, claiming fallen sick and would not be able to send the item blah blah, promised to send the item on Monday, which is today. I doubt she sent it today, hence another e-mail to her. She explained no shit bit of why, but gave me another date.

Now I must say, I have never been through so much misery thus far, this is the 1st and now my question, what happen to all the BIG TALK and COMMITMENT display boldly on the page? what happen to shop/buy with confident? you know what is the most fundamental principle one should attain be it a seller or buyer , the word here is CREDIBILITY. I never having to write to a seller or having a buyer writing to me before this. but now I am questioning how credible this seller really is. Don't do it when you are not be able to commit to what you are doing let alone promising the star and moon.
