Online shopping - price too high?

Read a discussion in cozycot regarding blogshops are selling too high.

When I enter the sites they mentioned, I find the prices are super affordable and not as ex as they mentioned ($25 - $35), I think is normal and still cheaper than retail shops). They even criticized the blogshops.

I think these ladies don't know how the online biz works.

If you think to start up an online business and sure can earn quick money, you are wrong.

And if you think we jet up the prices and we earn like mad, super duper wrong loh. Everything now so ex, cost price high, air tickets, accommodation, cargo, storage, photoshoot, advertisement, hire models, etc These are all costs(-_-), sadly they didn't see it.

All blogshop owners spent their time sourcing, have to make sure no design clashes with others, maintain website, etc......they (including us) work long hours. Time is $$$ also.

Although some said Bugis village cheaper, while indeed is true, but have to note that there are many same designs but different quality apparels. Online blogshops may bring in the better quality.

For manufacturing of apparels, it takes weeks or months to complete. It's not easy especially if you are contacting overseas manufacturer.

Maybe let us get more info before we jump into conclusions if blogshops are jetting up the prices.
