Review: Flat shoes from Zalora (Malaysia)!

This evening I finally received my long-awaited package from Malaysia. :)
Guess what this is?
It's actually the flat shoes which I ordered from Zalora Malaysia. Let me make this clear, though, Zalora Malaysia DOES NOT ship1 to Brunei. So what I did was, I had Zalora deliver the shoes to my cousin's place (she is currently staying in Malaysia temporarily) and got my aunt who was on vacation in Malaysia to bring the shoes back to Brunei with her.
Honestly though, initially I wasn't sure whether I should purchase anything from Zalora after seeing so many mixed reviews on the store. But in the end I decided to just close my eyes and went for it.
Anyway, here are some eyecandies for you. :)
The shoes came in these plain boxes
I half-expected they would come in those nice, yellow boxes instead of these white and unceremonious boxes, but anyway let's not dwell on such unimportant bit.
Let's look at the first pair of shoes...
Sole Nice PU Flats with bow - MYR35.90 (approx. 11.60USD)
I like the combination of the colours
To be frank, this pair didn't come out as I had expected. The blue (more of teal actually) is darker than what is portrayed on the Zalora website and I had originally thought the material was suede but turns out it was made of synthetic (that's my own fault for not reading the description :p).
And the second pair...
Koumi Koumi Multi Colors Stripes Ballerina Flats - MYR49.90 (approx. 16.00USD)
I ordered the Fuschia Multi
The outer material is hard and stiff so it has the feeling of you're wearing something made out of rattan but it was actually made out of synthetic material. Nevertheless I really love the colours and I think it'll look nice on my feet.
Total cost = MYR35.90 (discount: - MYR1.89) + MYR49.90 (discount: - MYR4.99) + MYR5.00 (shipping) = MYR66.90
That is approximately USD21.50! And that is considerably cheap in my opinion. :p
So, what about the service?
I like the Zalora website. It's really easy to navigate around, it has clean interface, and overall the shopping experience was mostly smooth and easy --- except at the point when I have to make the payment. Initially I intended to pay for the shoes using my PayPal account but this was rejected several times (and I have no idea why!) so after several unsuccesful attempts, I decided to switch to my debit card and thank God it worked.
I actually sent an email to Zalora about this. This is what I emailed them:
Hello Zalora,
I tried to make a purchase from your store using PayPal as method of payment however I keep receiving this error message:
Error during payment
Dear customer,
The payment for your order *200187818* was not successful.
Could you look into this problem and let me know why the transaction was not successful.
Regards,Amalina Kasim
And this is the reply I got:
Dear Amalina,
Thank you for choosing Zalora, Malaysia's largest online fashion mall!
Please be informed that order 200187818 has been cancelled from our system, due to no payment.
Please reorder again.
Umm, that was not the answer I was looking for. In fact, the reply looked/sounded like it was an automated reply. I wanted to know why the transaction failed when I tried using my PayPal account. It couldn't be due to insufficient money because I know I have enough fund in that PayPal account. So yeah I hope Zalora will work on their customer service.
But all in all, it was a pleasant shopping experience and I did not regret clicking on the Buy button. I really love those shoes; they are pretty, affordable and so worth the wait. And I am so glad I can fit into the shoes because I was worried they won't fit me despite ordering the right size. Can't wait to go out and flaunt them to the world!
1 Starting March 25th 2013, Zalora Malaysia has extended its service to include shipping to Brunei Darussalam. Definitely a good news for Bruneian fans of Zalora. :)Labels: flat shoes, online shopping, Zalora
