mCnymph's Shopping Concept

Mon, 02 Apr 2007 08:14:02 GMT

Hi Fellow Shoppers,

If you're viewing this page, it either means you've been invited to join my community of spreeing or you've heard about me from another spree-er.

I've started a community, mysprees

The idea of this community is NOT another community where folks posts sprees up. This community is purely used for mCnymph's sprees. Couple of reasons why I'm going through the pains of setting up this community.

- Because most communities have a moderation queue of 1 post per user, it's impossible to do multiple posting because at times of summer sale, there might be a few websites offering these sales and due to limitations, good offers are passed up

- Some deals have limited time span and in order to enjoy the offer, moderation of spree posting prevents spree-ers from enjoying the discount

- Seeing the surge in demand for Forever21 / WetSeal sprees and that they add new items to the site almost every other day, I've decided to try the concept of running these sprees 24/7. This is to say that the sprees will be ran forever and ordered everytime the spree cap is met.

If you wish to be part of this shopping experience, take the following steps to start your online shopping with mCnymph!

1) Take 5 minutes of your time to register for an account with LiveJournal @ https://www.livejournal.com/create.bml
2) Join the community @ http://www.livejournal.com/community/join.bml?comm=mysprees
3) You may start joining sprees that I'll be posting!

Because I'm unsure how well this community will be welcomed by fellow shoppers, I'm going to start inviting folks to join the community for the next 2 weeks. If I can get at least 1000 to be part of this community, I would officially start this community and post sprees. I urge you to show your support by spreading word for me. Thanks!

FAQ

Mon, 27 Nov 2006 08:11:31 GMT

For Spree-ers who have no clue about sprees. Emails enquring about the same issues would be ignored.

[Q] How long will my items arrive?
[A] It generally takes 2 to 3 weeks for arrival.
Here's what usually happens in an order:
- Merchant takes 1 to 7 *working days to mail order out
- Ground Shipping takes 5 to 7 working days to reach vPOST
- vPOST takes 1 to 2 working days to process and match order to invoice
- Order takes 5 to 8 working days to delivery it to Singapore
- Organizer takes 1 to 2 working days to pack everything for postage

*Working days refer to Monday to Friday only.
This is basically a rough guide and it varies from merchant to merchant.

[Q] Can I arrange a timing for items to be delivered to me?
[A] Unfortunately, SingPost haven't offered such services.

[Q] I haven't received any updates! How?
[A] Firstly, check that you posted your name / email in your initial order. Not including it has become such a common mistake. Secondly, updates are usually done mass-mailed. There are high chances they get filtered to junk mail settings. Kindly add my email to the safe list to ensure you get all the updates you need. Read my T&C for the updates that will be done at various stages of the sprees. Lastly, many spree-ers simply copy what other people post because they're purchasing similiar items but forget to change the necessary details.

[Q] It's been awhile since I receive my last update, why?
[A] With the timing schedule above and the updates I will make listed in my T&C, unless there's a huge lapse between the supposed updates, I would apperciate if patience was shown. It's probably on it's way to the next destination or that I'm in the mids of packing the stuff. Certain merchants (e.g. Aeropostale / Forever21) doesn't have the exact item name and some detailed matching & packaging is required.

[Q] Can I combine postage with other sprees that I've joined?

[A] Of course you may combine postage. However, there are certain rules to follow. You're to informed me which sprees you're combining via E-MAIL prior to the spree arriving. Once items arrive and have been packed, combining postage is NOT an option. I will attend to combine postage requests when items arrives only during my free time. Priority will be given to those that are already packed. If you're an impatient person, don't opt for it. Bugging me to attend to your combined postage request will only result in me ignoring you and not allowing such requests in future from you

[Q] I've made the necessary topups for postage. When can I expect my items?
[A] Normal postage is being sent every Tues & Fri after 5pm. Registered postage is sent every Friday. Please allow 2 days for me to process your package for postage. Thus, if you've made payment on Monday, your package will be sent on Friday because it wouldn't make it for the Tuesdays deadline. The posting schedule is strict and I abide by it 99% of the time.

Spree T&C

Please take time to read before participating. Ignorance won't be a reason in an event of a dispute.

[1] No reservation of slots. Only paid orders will be taken.

[2] Please double check item name, URL and price. I will make my own executive decision during any uncertainty & won't be responsible if it's wrong.

[3] If merchant ships the wrong / damaged item over, I'm not responsible for any returns costs that have to be incurred (if any).

[4] Reply to your own thread after you have made payment to facilitate consolidation of orders. Cancellation of item made after payment would only be refunded after spree completes

[5] No more items to be in after spree closes. Money transferred after spree is closed for more than 2 hours will be refunded 1 year later.

[6] ATM payment transactions are to be posted on the same day of order, otherwise orders are considered void and deleted. NO interbanks transfers.

[7] No refunds will be given when there is exchange excess.

[8] Add items to cart to ensure they're in stock before ordering. No backordered items accepted unless otherwise stated

[9] I reserve the right to change the mode of shipping/cancel the spree when responses are not met.

[10] All updates done via E-Mail. There would be 3 updates in total:
- Merchant ships order out
- Agent (e.g. vPOST) ships order out
- Order Arrival / Collection of Local Postage

* IMPORTANT: I do NOT answer emails about spree status. If you're a spree-er that requires constant updates, please do NOT join my sprees. I only want patient spree-ers.

If you decide that you're also a spree-er who can't join a spree should I miss out on updates, kindly do NOT join my spree.

[11] Distribution of items are non-negotiable.

[12] Handling charge of S$0.50 will be charged for materials required for postage.

[13a] Combining postage is to be informed via E-Mail prior to arrival of items. State clearly which spree you wish to combine. Once items have been packaged, combining postage isn't an option. If any oversight on my part to combine your postage even after you've informed via the correct way, I'm in no way liable as combining postage is a favour and should never be taken for granted. Spree-ers would still have to bear the cost of the postage and no alternative would be offered.

[13b] Combining postage is only allowed for your own orders. I do not allow different spree-ers to merge their items for postage. The solution to this is to communicate between yourselves and post as 1 consolidated order under 1 LJ nick & make a single payment. The time taken to processed combine postage request could take up to 2 weeks. Be prepared to WAIT WITH PATIENCE if you wish to opt for combined postage. Spamming me with multiple emails to process your package would result in further delay. Remember, combine postage is a privilege and NOT a right.

[13c] Combining postage is exclusive to sprees participated in mysprees

[14] Refunds are done only after order has arrived and items are ready for distribution. Only items that are out of stock prior to ordering would get their refund after a few days upon spree closure. Spree-ers who have outstanding items in the same spree would have their refund offsetted against local postage during 2^ndpayment & any remaining refunded.

[15] In the event should any items be missing/damaged from shipment, all spree-ers in that shipment will share equal burden of refund to compensate the party involved. This doesn't applies to items damaged during local postage. I'm not a saint and I do make mistakes. If you're looking for a flawless organizer, do look for another organizer to spree with. Mistakes on my part will be compensated based on my discretion. I'm not running some sort of business so if you expect flawless service, then you can go look for a personal shopper instead.

[16] Wrappings
- All packages are packed in envelope, sealed with scotch tape and marker written for name / address
- If items are unable to fit into the biggest size envelope (A3), it would be wrapped in brown paper. Items that doesn't come with plastic wrapping will be wrapped as it is unless spree-er have special requests
- For special wrappings (boxes / bubblewrap etc.), please expect delays of up to 2 weeks for your items to be sent out.
- I am NOT responsible if the package arrive to you damage / torn. If you're worried about that happening, please email me prior to spree arrival to get your items packed in SingPost PostPac boxes.

[17] Should there be any problems with the spree, you'll be informed only when I have a clear picture of what's happening as liasing with merchants takes time. If due to personal reasons that the spree is delayed, you'll be informed and please practice patience.

[18] By joining my sprees, you're understood to have read everything and I am not to be faulted (that includes leaving a -ve feedback) if similiar scenerios occurs. Do NOT attempt to find loopholes as it would be a never ending story trying to fill in everything
