SINGAPORE BLOGSHOPS DELIVERY FEES, COLLECTION LOCATIONS AND DISCOUNTS

You'll notice that many blogshops have a physical location where you can do self-collection for free. Blogshops such as Carrislabelle, ELLYSAGE, MGP Label, and Topazette offer free normal mail, while Fash Mob and Intoxiquette offer free standard courier delivery - which helps you to save around $1.50 - $3.50.

THINGS TO TAKE NOTE OF WHEN SHOPPING ONLINE IN BLOGSHOPS

1) Most blogshops do not do cash refunds. Instead, they would refund store credits into your account while others which do give cash refunds only do so on a case-by-case basis.

2) The delivery days stated did not include the days needed for blogshops to dispatch items. Hence, it is not conclusive of the total time needed to reach you.

3) Some blogshops charge administrative fees for returns and exchanges. Hence, it is important to check your size measurement and preferred coloured for your apparels before carting out.

Given the heavy competition in the industry, it seems probable that these established blogshops compete based on product differentiation rather than engage in cut-throat price competition with each other. For example, more blogshops are self-manufacturing their labels to provide unique offerings to consumers.
